Hey there Honda owner, Welcome! I'm liking your "smiling" entrance 8)
Stick around here long enough, and you just might find yourself owning another one! :D
Is there a chance that we can get a peek of your collection? (pics of bikes and scoots?)

Welcome to the club.
I also own a Honda Elite 250. A 1986 with 18k miles currently.
It always feels a bit squirrely after riding my PCX. :)

Well the PCX accelerates a bit faster up to 50MPH. I plan on putting lighter variator weights in the Elite 250 next time I service it.

The Elite will top out around 70Mph where as my PCX tops out at 60-65 depending on the wind and road condition.
12" wheels on the Elite make it feel a bit less stable at high speed but I was so used to it that I did not notice until after buying a motorcycle.

Oh and the drum brakes on the Elite are not very confidence inspiring.


So bottom line, the PCX is much more enjoyable to ride. I still take the old 250 out once in a while when I feel nostalgic.
