Emperors New Clothes

[Hold Da Kæft]

So will the mighty PCX be dethroned by Yamahas NMax?

ABS, front and rear discs, slightly faster top speed and acceleration plus better value timing at 6000rpm. Also a 4000 mile service interval v Hondas 2500. If they had a closed glove box and 12v plug they'd have really nailed it.

I've had to put my purchase off till next year as I had a very large unexpected outlay so now broke until then but this just confuses things.

Do you think Honda will be in trouble with the new competition and do you reckon they'll combat with an ABS version anytime soon?

In the U.S. It's known as the SMAX, and I went and looked at it, it does have some nice features, some engine pieces look cast instead of stamped, the rear disc, 4 valve per cyl and a few other things. But it does not have the looks of a PCX, AND is a bit more $.

I bought the PCX.

I don't like the center area where the gas cap is on a pcx. It looks like they couldn't make up their mind whether they wanted a scooter where you put your feet in front of you or a scooter like the pcx, where you put your feet on the sides.

Agreed, it is def a more cramped riding position.

Nope, the Nmax is a completely different scooter to the Smax

Nice looking , but still the competitor here in the U.S. to the PCX is the SMAX.....

OK, that thing looks like what I'm turning my PCX into.
