Trying to sell me an extended warranty is a red flag.
So to answer my question in regards to UN-scheduled repairs and maintenance, would you say that you are very satisfied with your PCX in this area, somewhat satisfied, or really starting to question the overall reliability of your PCX?
Rick54,
You have gotten things exactly wrong. There are people in this world that overthink things so much, that they take every last bit of joy out of anything they do.... Honda has sold me an extended warranty on every motorcycle I have bought from them. That is a HUGE PROFIT for them if the bike does not break down. Selling an extended warranty on a bike that breaks down frequently would be a LOSS for the company.
You are in a forum where people LIKE to work on their bikes, and do some modifications etc. Recognizing reality, analyzing information is part of being smart about something. The Honda PCX is a great scooter,nice to ride, and very reliable. I would bet big money that you would quit riding before the PCX would be worn out.... If the PCX is not reliable enough for you, you should never buy anything more complicated than a brick ;D
Riding a scooter is so much fun, and even changing the oil, doing the scheduled maintenance, learning about it, etc can be enjoyable. If all you are looking for is cost and practicality, a scooter is not for you. Looking at just cost and reliability, the city bus is the best solution.
