According to your list of other bikes there's only one bike worth looking at, but no picture :(

Knowing you have typically ridden bigger motorcycles, it will be interesting to hear your perspective once you have ridden the PCX. Hopefully you will be just as pleased as most of the others are who have done likewise.
2010 Honda PCX 125 in Thailand (White) - "White Lightning" Sold in Sept 2017 :(
2009 Yamaha Majesty YP400 in USA (Metalic Titanium) - "The Throne" Sold in June 2020 :(

Are they all on the road at the same time? Here in the US, at least in my state, I would be buried in insurance costs.

Looks like fun, though. A bike for every mood (except.. don't you need a cruiser...?)
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

5 on the road, Ducati in pieces for quite a few years, long term project ;) . WR 250 damaged awaiting repair. Insurance is not too bad as here you can get reasonable multibike policies.

Twas the most enjoyable thing to ride, I used to get up at 5am on Sunday mornings to go and thrash the nuts off it on empty roads.

I had a c70 about 25 years ago. 49 mph and no faster down the biggest hill in the area. It only cost me a tenner with a broken timing chain, fixed it used it for a while always at WOT and expired again.

Of course, the first picture was around 1986, the second 2 were round 79-80, when the bike was new. I bought the bike new in Aug 79, possibly the last one sold in the UK.

Done about 36000 miles on it, without any major problems. Not bad for a 70's Ducati, if you believe what you read.

If it's Carole Nash you can add second cars to the insurance too. I think it's called a 6 wheeler policy. Saved me some money

Now that's a thread worth starting. Bikes you wish you'd never sold

It is Carole Nash but decided against the 6 wheeler policy.

Last time I asked about the six wheel policy they told me it didn't apply to 125s.
