@@arturasminkelis3241 Nice. I consider a used Honda sh as my first motorscooter ( among others ) How is the performance on the Sh and what kind of fuel economy can you except? Does it sit nicely at 80kmh?:)
I own this one, the pre-facelift model 150cc. For me, it's very very practical with the storage. Comparing to Yamaha Nmax or Honda PCX, Medley more comfortable. Acceleration not so good but it's enough for 150cc. My only complain, the steering wheel kind heavy because 16" rims, so when stuck in traffic not so nimble as the competitors. Fuel mileage around 32-34 km/L, using Akrapovic exhaust without DB killer
I'm going to sell my Honda CB300R and buy the scooter because I like the room under the seat. I feel uncomfortable going around anywhere I want and I need to carry a big helmet and a backpack!
Thanks very much for this review. The part I most liked is your display of the van under the seat. No one ever show it even pity and incompetent Piaggio, everyone just say there is a big room under the seat but they don't show what you can fit inside.
I love scooters, I had a zuma 125 or bws 125 it was such an amazing bike. Fun to ride, take it off road gravel trails, city riding ect. I have and have big liter bikes but something about scooter are so fun in the urban environment. Plus being able to go shopping without a big top box is refreshing.
This is a very nice review. For me it was a choice between this and the Honda SH125i. I bought the SH which included a top box in the price, and cheaper than the medley in the UK. The medley has more space under the seat, but as I said the Honda has a top box. The medley has a 14 inch back wheel and I really wanted 16 inch front and back. Which the Honda has. My best speed thus far, flat and no wind was 74 mph. On paper it says the Honda can do around 140 mpg, so out of the 7 litre tank has better range than the medley, so the area I lost a little in is the space under the seat and I think the medley is nicer looking than the Honda. Very well matched scooters, the play off has to be space under the seat, tank range and wheel size. Oh and the medley has a small area to put your phone and charge it, SH has usb under the seat. This is obviously better on the medley as it may be possible to charge your phone whilst in use on the medley, on the SH you can't use your phone with the socket under the seat. I plan to add a usb socket in the front, at the moment my switch for my heated grips is where the glove box would be.
I’m actually going through the same process atm. I’m leaning towards the medley 125 more because of the brighter more legible LCD display and the smart keys is a bit of a turn off for me. Any advice or opinion on that matter?
Make a long scooter trip. I love your channel! I own a Honda PCX 150 2014 model. I bought it new, i have done so far 100.000 km and i love it. Plenty of space, beautiful looking, low fuel consumption, cheap to run and never had a single problem.
Great review. I love my PCX150 (and my bigger bike too..) and would like to try that one out if I had the chance. Scooters are a blast for short trips!
@ Guambra2001 You suggestion doesn't make any sense because in here we talk about scooters not motorcycles. And I'm going to sell my Honda CB300R and buy the scooter because I'm sick of carrying helmet and jacked around.
@@arturasminkelis3241 i have no real comparison of durability, but the quality seems to be quite good. What is keyless good for? Only annother thing which can cause defaults. In no one of my 29 bikes I have had til now, the key caused problems. I mean, the SH is a good scooter, but in this case, the piaggio is first in my opinion. The same with the SH300. i owned one for nearly 10.000km and bought a Beverly 350 now... it is the better scooter.
@@arturasminkelis3241 sry Peugeot is not very common here in Austria, but you must think about the sitting position. On the SH or Beverly you have a vrry upright position like on a chair. The Peugeot is more like the Yamaha Xmas, a sitting position like on a chopper. I really dont like such a position especially when you want to ride longer terms. Are you not allowed to ride more than 125ccm?
HI, greeting from Belgrade, I was looking into buying this bike (but the 150s) , like the big wheels and large storage. My main concern is the leg position and leg comfort. Also i would love if you could tell us how good is the wind protection without the windscreen and how bad is it for long distances (out of town) rides? Love the videos, keep up the good work!
i own this scooter. leg position is alright when you are tall enough (taller than 175cm or 5'10''). wind protection is poor without the screen. long distance is good (water cooling system).
:( I think they are pretty safe. Depends on every scooter, but generally speaking, the suspension and breaking is adequate to the engine power. In my opinion, scooter are safer than motorcycles when it comes to lateral impact. I had one crash last year with my Vespa and nothing happened to me.
@@DriveMagRiders thanx guys, i'll try on em soon (but not exceed 80km/h)..for me scooters are best on short distance (goin to groceries,restaurant nearby).u guys r awesome!
@@DriveMagRiders I rejected PCX due to the stupid bluish/purple LED Headlight... beam pattern also, too "shallow". Wide enough but its like a thin strip. How's Medley, riding at night, pitch black? I hate high light temperature. Best for me is up to 4800k. Also, what's the connectivity like? What the hell does it? Im about to visit a dealership during the week, but I wanna know beforehand, avoiding brain wash of talentless salesmen. Ty in advance.
@@victor_SKR Honda SH is always faster than the competition. I have a KTM Duke with 15cv that reach real 126km/h. I think 115km/h is fully enough for a 125cc scooter.
It's afine scooter, but that colour is the surest way too disappear into the same colour of tarmac and grey roads, making it potentially invisible to other riders and drivers, particularly in low light. What IS it with manufacturers nowadays that every other vehicle has to be the dullest "colour" on earth? Not just dangerous but extemely boring.
put some LED lightings on the sides maybe? you have a good point. i guess the manufacturers are just making what customers(and market) want=pastel colors.
I have a 2017 medley 125 for daily use. Love it! Favorite 125 scooter!
Hello how about maintenance? Build quality? Consumption? Headlights in the night? Thx!
@@arturasminkelis3241 I am wondering that too, look forward to hear :)
Having 2020 Honda sh125 and wouldn't change it !

Awesome review! Thks
Damn that colour 😍
It looks very sharp and nice for a piaggio.

Glad u r staying busy during this lockdown. Can't wait to see you ride this one. Good for urban jungles😂
Scooters are so fun, but I’d still pick a Z125 over this because they’re so awesome. Great first look. Keep-’em Coming.

Having bigger wheels, i'd say this is a great scooter for general commuting and even for a little joy ride or two.
Good job! Thank you for the information!
Very good video. Thank you!
For me the best scooter in the 125 class. Better than the new Honda SH because of the much larger helmet case under the seat
Only of storage? What about quality of engine? Keyless? Durability?

I like to see you take this bike on your next Patagonia adventure. ;-)
Top video thank you👍👍
Verry cool scooter ! i myself have the Piaggio Zip 50 CC but i wanted to get a motor scooter soon .
Nice color! Thank you.
When is the Long-Term Report #2 coming out? :)
Schön gemacht Gruß Roller Rolf und bleib gesund
meinst du der Rumäne versteht Deutsch?
Hello. In Carburator bike and scooter we tune Carburator. But what happens in fuel injection scooter and bike.
It's the same as a newer car on fuel injection. It's done by a remap with a laptop.
Foarte interesant
What’s the acceleration like? Apparently the medley isn’t very good for that?
I would say acceleration is not a problem at all.
Acceleration is just fine although I have the 125 and that out accelerates my 2021 pcx and nmax.
Where's the full review??
wish to have a very honest opinion, are scooters safe interm of ergonomic? got scared after norick abe lost his life on t-max☹

T-max is dangerous weapon ,it is a scooter not a motorcycle too powerful engine small wheels and very unforgiving
Is this one better than honda sh 125i ?
Is this a European version? Can’t find it in us
It's been three years; did you ever find one in the US?
Im so curious about part #2 ...
I have tons of questions ...

Nice Scooter
Top speed only 110km/h Display??
Its a 125 bro...
George Gkiokas ya ya , only 100GPS; ForZa 125 +110GPs with 15 CV
In summary
, Medley 2020 with 15cv reach real 100km/h only. In my opinion is poor.
Adrián 113 km/h display is top speed. It’s very poor for 15CV , I estimate is 105KM/h GPS. The sh125i is better with 13CV
@@victor_SKR Honda SH is always faster than the competition. I have a KTM Duke with 15cv that reach real 126km/h. I think 115km/h is fully enough for a 125cc scooter.
I'll go with my old vespa
respect vintage,look forward with new technology
Honda forza 125 vs Piaggio Medley 125 2020 in top speed?
forza 125 is a bit faster
The medley will do 70. The forza will touch 80.
Around London, my Yamaha 125 scooter (big wheel auto) is much better than my Tracer 900 or tenere 700
Michael B Is it the X-City?
everything with 2 wheels is awesome!
Is this scooter made in Vietnam or Italy ?
Medley in Vietnam and Honda SH in Italy
I just take order for Madley 150cc, and in my Country now in 2023 cost 3950 euro...
Good city explorer
Beautiful bike! 👍👍
Hello. Do not talk about colour and Chrome and stylish and under seat space. Talk about techcal specification.
Why did you buy 125? 150 is only 100 euro more expensive.
Salut =))
