PCX or S-Wing

Post by toria »

I hope you guys can help me? I am in a quandary and cannot decide whether to get the PCX or the S-Wing. I know what they look like, they're both 125cc etc and of course the S-Wing is bigger with better weather protection etc.. and of course costs more. Does anyone know how they differ in terms of fuel economy and presence on the road. Presumably bigger bikes have a better presence on the road but its not the prettiest of bikes but the PCX looks v. funky! In the past, I have had bikes ranging from the Suzuki Burgman 125 right up to the Suzuki Burgman 650 executive, the latter of which I found far too heavy and cumbersome! Any feedback gratefully received. If it helps, I'm a late 40s female from the UK with, sadly not a particularly small frame but at the same time, not quite the size of a house!

The OP is not referring to the big Honda Silverwing. He's talking about the S-Wing.

I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

THANKS Guys....the S-Wing looks pretty nice.......Honda, "someday", needs to send more Scooter/Motorcycle models to each of the different market countries it sells to. Here in the USA, especially in the motorcycle line-up, HondaUSA tends to think all we want are the absolute largest offerings They build, which isn't necessarily correct. Small and Medium sized Machines always sell well here, get a "following", then HondaUSA takes Them out of the lineup in a season or two....UGH....have to admit, the newest lineup looks better than in a long time here though...maybe "They" have finally started to read some of Their E-mails instead of just hitting the delete button..... ;) 8)
