    Just bought this little beauty. :D

    Honda PCX 125. What a little stormer, clips 70mph and my first economy check shows 100.9mpg :lol:

    It even has a stop start function that turns the engine off at lights and junctions if stationary for more than 3 seconds. Great fun and even got her that must be obeyed back on bikes.

    Mind you do notice a lot more bike snobbery, dont even bother passing someone on a "real" motorbike and nodding, I find myself to be completely invisible. :roll:

    ( :eek: I hope this isn't instead of your beautiful "Phantom Black" mate?)
     
  5. Friend of mine has a PCX that he uses for his daily commute to work. Looks quite smart in black and fuel economy is great. Saves himself a fortune in fuel by leaving the car at home.

    Better tool for the job IMHO mate.

    Honda actually quote 130mpg! Mind you I suspect that the tests werent carried out with a fat lad mounted atop :lol:

    Couple of forums suggest that once you get 500 miles plus on them they give a bit more as well, Im racing towards 300 miles as I type. Would you believe that you can actually get performance cans for it? :eek:
