How does the mid Givi compare to the genuine Honda windshield (not the one that comes on the PCX, the aftermarket accessory)? It seems like a mid height windscreen too.

I don't know the answer to that one but I do know that it was offered to us at twice the price of a Givi. By the way, we did buy the extended warranty on my wife's bike, but not on mine. I hope this problem isn't a common occurrence on the PCX 150.

I think the windshield selection may also depend on your driving habits. I do short slower hops and need my bike light enough to take camping on a hitch carrier so the PCX and mid shield was perfect. For cruising longer distances something else may make sense although I did take a 70 mile hop around a lake camping but rarely got over 50 mph and more like 35 was the rule. I also considered the Forza when I was buying. :) It is more configured for long cruising. I guess two bikes might be in order. :D

50 mph is fantastic for someone with only one leg.

Hopping can be done on two legs too.
