Steering headstock bearings

I have a 2019 pcx 125 owned from new, used purely for leisure. Just taken it in for its 2 Yr service (5200miles) advised the headstock bearings are notchy. So it is now a bit over 2yrs old. 2020 service was done in July 20 a bit late due to covid lockdown, consequently 2021 service was pro rata. Ask...

Re: How to import an ADV150?

Funnily enough, every word that Kenny said is absolutely identical to what I would have said and would love to own! Sadly I think, as was said that as it is only available in Asia, it would be near impossible. No doubt Honda would never add it to the UK line up, as it wouldn't fit learner laws. I ex...

Re: New Honda pcx 125

Hi Steve, I live near Uttoxeter and I've had the the previous model in grey 2017 decided to trade it in for a 2019 in RED! last April. I'm sure you will be delighted, like you I am retired and have had bikes all my life. Now it's really nice to be riding a bike that is so simple to ride and is unint...

Re: Expectant owner

I'm sure you will love the bike, like you I have had tons of bikes over the years. Old age and a new hip led me to a new pcx in 2017. I have enjoyed it so much that I convinced myself that all the 2018/9 improvements would be the icing on the cake. So bit the bullet and swapped for a new one in Apri...

Re: Average age of PCX/Forza owners?

Owned 50+ bikes and half a dozen scooters, but now at 73 years, new hip and a dose of the big C, needs must, lightweight agile and nippy PCX suits me just fine!

You guys with the 2018s, can I assume that the ergonomic triangle ( arms, arse, legs) is identical. I'm sure I read somewhere that there was a bit more room?

A 200 pcx would be perfect, I'll recommend the idea to Honda, however I fear I will have vacated this universe by then !!

Thanks for your input Blazinby, would be nice to see another 10 mph on top speed over my 2017, I'm sure a new 150 would do the job, but alas there would be no market for it in the UK.

Had anyone swapped a pre 18 125 for new one? I need a compar

Now at a very extra mature age!! And after 50+ years in bikes and maxi scoots, I bought anew pcx last year. I have recalibrated my brain to suit and love the bike, I do like a lot of what they have done with the latest model but I have read several reviews and some say the extra 0.4 bhp makes a diff...

Re: No more PCX for me

As a UK resident ally my life, I find myself dumbfounded by our pathetic police. They do nothing but hide behind the cuts, and red tape. They have a duty of care. I know they won't now investigate shop lifting less than £200 value, but to ring up and text a crime number, for an agrivated violent rob...

R&G heated grips

I know most use Oxford grips but I do like the fact that the r&g ones are a reasonable price, a Ride best buy and have 5 push button settings.
However 4amps max draw and 48 watts means nowt to me, don't want to risk a flat battery! Anyone fitted them??

Shad 34ltr top case and mounting kit

Sorry but I guess this will only be of use to UK owners. Just bought a 34ltr Shad box and mounting kit from A.J. Sutton for under 70 quid complete and delivered.For my new PCX,over the moon with the quality and ease of fitting, it's really strong. There appears to only be 2 fitting kits in stock now...
