First 250 miles I'm hooked!

Post by jrewillis »

So I have a new 2019 PCX.

Using it to commute to work (about 12 miles each way) mainly 30-40mph roads.

In the first 250 miles I've been filtering through stationary traffic and enjoying my commute time coming down from approx 1hr 50 mins per day total to approx 1hr per day (the way home during rush hour was particularly bad in a car)

It's been ace. I'm averaging 144.6mpg confirmed by a fill up and calculating the distance covered for fuel replaced and it's within 2mpg of the dash so really happy.

I've fitted the genuine Honda screen and wind protection is vastly improved. I'm 6ft 4inches tall. So was getting slammed in the chest - much better now and I can still see over the screen.

Took her out for a blast down some country roads tonight and on my way back down a main road from 2 towns a chap on a Yamaha Mt125 pulled up next to me and was Astonished that it was only a scooter. He struggled to keep up!

The freedom I feel really reminds me of why I love cycling (minus all the effort).

A joy to ride. Light. Nimble. Frugle.

Wish I had got one years ago!

Glad to hear that. Enjoy and keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down. PCX is one hell of an exciting scoot.

My 2017 hit a high (for me) of 161mpg on the dash this week, but I'm in the habit of over-filling.

Wow.. I thought my last gen PCX was doing well at 106mpg! I do have to run full throttle a lot thanks to US traffic that thinks it's a race to every red light.

I took my 2018 pcx for a fourty mile run last week, and managed to squeeze out 150 mpg at a steady pace.

What is more fun than one new PCX? Nothing.
