    I turned 70 years old this week and still ride. Got tired of the big bikes and all the weight...so last year bought a PCX 150 and ride the daylights out of it. Been watching you and Quasi for a while. Like I told you before...YOUR personality is what sells the videos! I do love watching...Take care and be safe.

    Bulgarian here. It is unwritten rule to wave at other bikers but the scooters are sometimes not considered as motorcycle by the motorcycle purists, that is why they don't wave at you.. Probably thinking you are some kind of delivery rider or something on that nature with the short sleeves.

    @vladimirtomic 2 місяці тому

    Hi Alex,
    At the OMV fuel station you said "Super 100+, oh, hell no", and went for the 95 :). I guess the main two reason are the price and the fact that the scooter will run just as fine with 95 octanes.
    Being a 125cc rider myself (a Chinese scooter), I'm wondering - in long term, does it matter if I use 95 or 98 or 100 octanes? I didn't really notice any performance difference, the acceleration and the top speed are pretty much the same with any fuel. But is higher octane value better in any way for keeping the engine "healthy" in the long run?
    Thanks :)

    • @RideWithAlex
      @RideWithAlex  2 місяці тому +3

      The octane rating of fuel refers to the fuels ability to resist detonation. When the piston compresses the mixture inside the cylinder, your fuel must be stable enough not to auto-ignite and to wait to be ignited by the spark plug at the right moment. If you run a high performance engine with very high compression (like say a yamaha R1 with 200+bhp from 1000cc) then you need the 100 octane fuel because 95 might detonate and damage your engine. But in this and every regular scooter it will rung just fine on 95, some will even run just fine on 93 or 90 (if you cand find it anywhere). So putting 100 octane into a vehicle that doesn't require it all you're doing is paying more for your fuel and getting nothing in return.

    • @RideWithAlex

      Toate scuterele au asa ceva, din cauza rigiditatii cadrului și ca nu ai o țeavă de la partea superioara a jugului către roata spate (nu se formează acel triunghi) la adx cred ca mai e dat și de profilul anvelopei, dar se simte doar dacă iei mâinile de pe ghidon la viteze de 40-60. Pe autostrada puteam fără probleme sa iau mâinile de pe ghidon.

Faptul ca au motor mic si "nu poti ajunge nicăieri cu ele" si ca nu tin pasul cu traficul, cred ca e principalul motiv pentru care in oras oamenii nu trec de la masina la moped. Poate ar fi fain sa demontezi miturile sau cel putin sa explici cam care e capabilitatea unui scooter de 50cc. La 125cc ai demonstrat clar, la fel si la 200cc :))) idk...
