Drum rear brake is superior for a number of reasons.
1: friction material area much larger
2: friction material lasts much longer
3: far easier to maintain
4: nowhere near as badly affected by the effects of corrosion
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

All true

(Unfortunately)

Not marvelous for a motorbike. But for a less than 10hp economy scooter it's perfect for the job.

What do Honda know. Idiots to a man.

If I owned a pcx Id honestly consider dropping getting another and get an sh 125/150 instead. The motors are basically the same with the exception of the rear disk brakes & abs.
Seeing as I have both ie.
Honda vision 110,with a drum rear brake.
Honda sh 125i,with rear disc,whats best..?????????? Been riding some 39 1/2 years now since pasting test,both work good.Fine as they are.

Stiff price on these little scooters.
Saw a mint Forza offered for $2,500, NO added fees,
with just a few hundred miles on it. Private sale.
A PCX will be, what? $4100+ OTD?
