Re: PCX125 ?
I had one of the first to arrive in the UK, brilliant little scoot with the exception of 2 points:
1) Speed restrictor - it will catch you out; cruising along happily at 56 or so mph on tiny throttle, pull out to overtake and get half way past when the hand of god says 'no faster' and you end up stuck alongside a lorry with a Beemer up your bum and nowhere to go.
2) Mk1 seat 'hump' - a bit intrusive even for my short legged stance, disappeared on the Mk2
You can cover some serious miles, we used to go all over France and the low countries with just the stuff we could fit in the underseat bin and top box (B&B's).
Tyre choice was a bit limited but improved now.
Think of it as a 3/4 sized maxi scoot.

Re: PCX125 ?
Hi, I've been looking to replace my innova with a pcx 125. I occasionally toy with the idea of importing a s/h pcx 150 from Italy. I could stand the extra ved as long as insurance was about the same. Just would like that like bit extra to make two up work ok. Does anyone ride a 150 in the UK?

Can that be bypassed or eliminated, Dave. Is it part of the ECU's program?Diesel Dave wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2017 4:07 pm
