Re: stop /start test

suspect honda put the stop/start system on the PCX more to get low emissions points than getting better MPG.
any engine that cuts out in queueing traffic , seems to be the way to go now.
i think the PCX is trying out systems which will move up to bigger honda bikes .

Re: Thinking of selling the PCX..

i got mine for £2250 brand new just pre reg , that's the only down side to a pcx resale values are low , due to dealers cutting RRP down to shift stocks.

Re: Thinking of selling the PCX..

you could get a lay up insurance ( just keeps the bike covered whilst in storage) , if you can store it off road till later in the year.

Re: Thinking of selling the PCX..
