Thanks, yeah I'm still in the break in stage which is 600 freaking miles! I think we have sunny weather tomorrow and I have the day off so I might try to do a vid. I'm only at about 150 miles so far but I did unexpectedly take it up over 70mph (indicated) briefly when a disgruntled cager took humbrage I think with my filtering past him at a red light. I took off at the green in the center lane (3 lanes) and he tried to keep up and then I notice him getting in the right lane as if to come along side to yell at me. I kept the throttle wide open and he never did catch me LOL - I think he backed off when he got up to around 65 since we were in a 45 zone.Old Grinner wrote:Looking forward to reading your comparison of the SMax vs. PCX 150. I've heard the SMax will travel well into the 70 MPH range. . .and some reports have it touching 80 MPH.
I don't like the 1970's era turn signal stalks compared to the PCX, but I love the flat floor! Went to the grocery store to buy a 12 pack of ginger ale, etc. Since it said buy 2 get 1 free I ended up buying 3 packs and was able to stack 2 of them on the flat floor with 1 under the seat along with all the other stuff. Also love the digital speedo/real tach needle combo, the fuel filler door is light years better than my PCX, the built in windscreen, the meatier tires, and a bit more storage under the seat than my PCX. You also have the option of locking the keyhole when you lock the steering, a MUCH better system than the PCX's mandatory system which is a PITA IMO. The exhaust also sounds pretty good for a scooter which I wasn't expecting. Seat is comfortable once I got used to it and while not as much leg room as the PCX I usually only ride for no more than 10 miles so it's not really an issue. I really like your Zuma 125 with the off road tires, opens up a lot of potential areas for riding. I'm actually thinking of getting a Honda Monkey to go with my scooter to have fun with on some of the nearby trails, a dealer already has a used one for sale at a decent price. So many great little bikes to choose from now! Oh, I also love the open cubby with no door under the dash, I can stash a bottle of Dasani in there as seen in the pic without having to fuss with a door which is nice!
Sorry for the thread jacking OP
