I’ve noticed a lot of the delivery riders now buying the CBF125.
Could just be that they couldn’t buy a pcx so went for what was available.
I noticed that too so spoke to one of them on a CBF125 he said it was because BNIB it was only £3049 so better value, lots to choose from providing you dont mind red or white :lol: scooters where scarce and lead times for new Scoots sketchy & most retailers wouldn't gurantee the price come April but increases expected.

At MaccyD Princes Road, Dartford today a lad was running around on a rather tired Honda Dylan which he had to keep the throttle open to stop it stalling (there are some sheds doing deliveries)

I’ve seriously thought about one, but I’ve done 485 miles in a day on the PCX and 3,500 miles to Hungary and back and it’s soooo damn comfy!
Tried n trusted why change for the sake of it

I was out on the CB125F yesterday, first time for a few months since buying my Enfield Hunter, it was a great ride, progress about the same as the Hunter, we did about 40 miles of country lanes.

How do the two bikes compare, back to back, Dave?

Ged, both bikes are very easy to live with, the biggest difference is fuel ecconomy, the Honda uses half the amount. The Enfield has a more comfortable seat, a bit more power as you would expect, I've never had a noisier standard exhaust.
I prefer the dash on the Honda, although the Enfield does it all, fuel light, fuel gauge with flashing last segment and a mile count down, 3 reasons why you should never run it dry.
Brakes, Tyres and suspension are good on both bikes, I would ride either to go touring, although you need your wits about you if you are on a125 on motorways, the 350 is alright on Motorways.
I have an NC750s DCT for long distance work and a Vespa250GTS (future collectable).

So many bikes, now, so little time left to ride. :D
