Hi all. Finally took the plunge and got a new black PCX125. Done 90 miles in 2 days and looking forward to my 3 day commute, 20 miles each way.
Living in the Lakes there are many hills and I have 2 major ones to climb on the way there and 2 on the way back, so looking forward to seeing how it performs on those.
What lakes are you commuting around? (There are a few choices worldwide). Just a note, If you add your location to your profile, it will make such questions less needful.
I've found that the PCX is an excellent commuter. Mine does up to 70 miles some days. Keep up with maintenance, and you should have many trouble free miles, especially with that sort of mileage.

The PCX is a great little bike. Take care of it and it will make you a happy man.
Another Happy PCX'er! Welcome aboard our forum(s) and congrats!
"Living in the Lakes".... with hills, hmm In the USA? The Great Lakes? I'm just guessing of course.

Yes, sorry guys ! I am in the North West UK and have changed my profile accordingly.....
Wow, Cumbria. Brings back memories, many good, some not so good. I lived in Barrow for almost 2 years during my mid-teens. Very challenging in my life because of family issues, but that aside, the people were wonderful and the countryside was beautiful. It is on my bucket list to bring my wife there.

And some of us (me) never got past that stage either. It is great to live in a place where labour (and many parts) is so affordable.

Barrow eh? I am in the north just outside of Wigton, near to Carlisle. I work in Keswick and have an 'interesting' and scenic commute where I see the fells AND the Solway Coast looking over to scotland. Just beautiful and my favourite view.

There used to be, and maybe still is, an annual Keswick to Barrow walk (40 miles - 64 kms), I did it while I was there. It was a little hard on the body, even at a young age.

WELCOME! break in is only 300 miles, you should be sailing over that any day. Consider your warranty demands at 600, make the decision to do it yourself or not. Take note there are better tires/tyres/terr's to be had for a more confident grip on your roads... and stay off the incident list below please
