I bought an 2018 PCX125 with 1012 miles on it . I've since done over 13000 miles in 18 months on it. Never had any trouble, never gone wrong and I love it. I rode it on a 230 miles round trip and it was great. Would definitely recommend them.
Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone!
@@RedskullPro hey can i ask what psi you are running in the back tyre ?
Thanks
@@FattyOn2Wheels I honestly don't know. I left it to whatever the dealership had it set
Video filmed by me! I’m such a great assistant ☺️Can’t wait for that Vespa!
Haha! Vespa girl!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
God bless you. You're an angel!
You so sweet. Show us your scooter Xx
You will be back on a Honda in 3 months....
I had a 1982 Honda C70 motorcycle for 10 years that only had 70cc engine, 6 hp, top speed of 50 mph. But even with that old technology, got 120 miles per gallon. 26" wheels made it much more controllable. Power was fine in town, but struggled on few hills in area. Peace
I used to ride a old 50cc called "Mobra 50", My dad had it from when he was young and it was a lot of fun! That one had 4hp!
Very thorough review 👍🏼 I’m actually about to buy this exact scooter soon as a daily commuter around town here in NY.
It’s a great machine for intown riding! If you add a top box as well you can even do grocery shopping with it! Thanks for watching!
Awesome review - very informative. Thank you, this was of great help 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching1
Yes it's not perfect but let me say the general opinion from Greek delivery guys, this scooter is hard worker, no mechanical problems after many km of work, but yes I agree with your points in general.
I see many of these as delivery scooters here as well! So they must be quite reliable since everyone uses them
Didn't expect a scooter review from you. This week i am planning of ordering Honda Vision 110 which fits my commuting needs. I looking also Honda SH mode but they are so similar I cannot justify the extra 500 euros...
I didn't expect one either :) But I figured it could be useful for someone that may be looking at this scooter. I ordered a Honda CB500X a coup,d of weeks ago...so I am getting that in a few days and trading in the scooter. I wonder if the Vision 110 gets even better gams milage than the pcx!
Great video! I bought the same scouter few days ago and I agree 100% with you. In the end its value is more than fair compared to the quality this moto has.
Can't find anything better for that price! Enjoy your new bike!
Thanks for the review im getting it soon
Hope you enjoy it! Great scooter!
Great review! very informative.. I'm going to buy a second hand PCX 2022 tomorrow with around 8-9km.
I found this scooter to be the best in its category (ABS, TCS and price)
Thank you very much :)
It is a great little machine! Ride safe!
cool video , you helped a lot thanks ! keep going
Thanks for checking out the video!
Great review. Congrats to Laura for professional filming. A new UA-camr arise!
Haha! Laura is a pro at filming now! Soon I’m gonna have to start paying her!
Very informative, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Awesome review👍🏻
Thanks boss!!
Hello friends
I'm using the 125cc version of this bike.
In Turkey, the 150cc version has not been brought for 5 years. only 125cc is sold... The 160cc version has never been imported.
The worst part of the Turkish versions is that the rear brakes are drum brakes and there is only a 125cc version.
good sides; Keyless start, 2.5 liters for 100 km (city), 2.0 liters for 100 km (long distance)
Turkey price is currently 4,800 USD
Nice video and review :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Super very good clear review
Woah, how did you come across this video?! :) It was posted like a year ago
Thank you for sharing this video :)
Thanks for checking it out!
Gracias por el video bro
Great scooter and review! I have the same in gray/blue color. The vibration is mostly like from the plastic panel which is between the headlight and the windshield, thats were i found mine was vibrating from. For windshield i got the Ermax sport turing (53cm, product code: ST01T18-03) and its working good for me, i am 1.75 and i can feel the wind only on my head, but not at all on my chest. Also, for the headlight, maybe you need to adjust it. Im saying that because mine is lighting great veeeery far, even better than my car.I used to have other scooters and super motards and pcx's lights are superb in compare with everything else i had in the past. Try to adjust it, im sure you will like it much more.
Stay safe and enjoy your ride!!
Hey, thanks for checking out the video and the suggestions! Since that video...well I traded the pcx in for a honda cb500x, and than I traded that one in for a Honda NT1100 dct :)
Very good and realiable, I have de 2021 model, but if you scratch it, the color code (written inside the box) doesn’t help you. The Honda dealers don’t paint them, you have to order to the manufacturer the pieces which come already painted but are very very expensive (300-400-500€ / one piece).
I’ve seen so many that are all scratched up… I guess that explains why nobody is replacing the parts that get scratched! I didn’t know. Thanks for sharing!
@@RedskullPro they are workhorses for many food deliveries etc i saw one for sale with 75 ,000 miles on it for £1000 . they have an excellent reputation for reliability . typical HONDA .
Honda's PCX and Yamaha's Nmax are the most popular 125cc scooters in South Korea these days. PCX is especially known for it's durability and gas mileage while Nmax is known for better acceleration, but lower gas mileage and durability. Both are great scooters for everyday transportation. I've been riding my PCX for 2 years now, put about 53000km on it and I've never had to fix anything. I've only done maintenance every 3000km and it still runs great. Great bike for small~average height people. If you are tall though, better off with higher cc scooters or maybe manual bikes instead. Great for riding in busy traffic, lacking for high speed long distance ride (maybe 20km+). I usually only reach speed upto ~90km/h on dashboard because if you go over 90km/h, the whole scooter begins to vibrate. Oh and Yamaha's nmax has 2 channel ABS system, but Honda only offers front wheel ABS which is a bummer. 2 channel ABS system really makes a big difference
Wow, 50k km in 2 years! That’s impressive! Thanks for sharing!
we have pcx 160 here in Asia. dang bang for buck and 1 of the best performing moped/scooter in the market for it's category. european model have the PCX 125 only lil bro of our 160 version.
The 160cc would have been the sweet spot for this scooter! I don’t think I would mind a 250cc version of it as well… but of course the bigger the engine the higher the cost
PCX150 is actually a better choice, barely any difference between it and the 160
@redskul. At 13.46 why did you throttle and brake at the same time? In CVT transmissions doing that will damage the clutch plates isn't it?
Just to demonstrate the exhaust sound. Plus i had to hold the break because I in front of me there was a 50m drop :)
Can you adjust the preload on the suspension? Nice video
Yes you can
Here in the Philippines there's
No PCX125 but there's only PCX150 and the 160cc version. Nice scooter
You guys get the better ones! I would love to try the pcx 160!
@@RedskullPro the 160 has a traction control
Salut..ce casca folosesti ca sa incapa bine in spatiul de stocare?
i have pcx 160, one of my favourite scooter for now after my tiny yamaha x-ride 110cc.
I wish the 160cc would be available here
How stable is the handlebar with the top box on when riding high speed? Do you feel any wobbling or shaking on handlebar?
I haven't experienced any wobbling even with the top box fully loaded and riding around 90km/h
I am aware that the PCX models for 2022 and 2023 are identical. However, could you kindly specify which component distinguishes one from the other?
Just the paint, Even that depends from market to market...
@@RedskullPro Thanks for your prompt response
Hi! have you modified anything on the bike like the vario, for example?
I didn’t change anything because the bike is under factory warranty for 5 years.
ABS and TC? In that price class certainly a strong selling point
Both ABS and traction control. The traction control is definitely handy!
@@RedskullPro Very good :)
What about the quality of the body material? We are here in Indonesia to get a 160cc engine with a starting price of around 2000$, but the material is very bad, the material is getting downgraded, it has only been used for a year, many body panels are vibrating and loose rattle and many problems such as the waterpump on the seepage radiator and the engine is very vibrating when the iddle, I think the price here is very cheap because with 2000$ it has got complete features and a good design
Thanks for this review! I have the same pcx. Do you also have try to put Dr pulley sliders in your variator? Maybe for hill climbs it's a lot better. Definitely with two persons on it
Since it’s under factory warranty I didn’t attempt to change/modify anything on it. Plus im trading it in next week for a bigger motorcycle
can you please tell me if i buy a new honda pcx 125 0km when i need to done hi first service after how much kilometars. because i asked many people everybody say diffrent number?
First service is at 1000km.
How did you buy it? I can’t seem to find one that I can get in the US
I ordered this in Europe. Not sure if it is available in the US 🤷♂️
Try the PCX150 same bike more power. I had one. Loved it. Our Nanny govt now wont import the 150.
Is it good or not for Daly traveling up to 100 miles???
For 100 miles daily I would only recommend it if it’s in town riding. If that daily ride involves highways you need something with a bigger engine
Either this ot the Forza 125 are my favorite Scooter. Will get one of them when I can expand my drivers license in 2 years.
The forza is nicer but also more expensive...If you have the money by all means...if not the pcx is great
It depends on what you want. For a long term, good value purchase the Honda is the best.
Hello.i want ask you,What is your height?. Because the motorcycle looks is tiny when you drive.
183 cm
@@RedskullPro thank you very much🙏☺️.
But you are right, I do look pretty big on it
what is the difference between the 2023 model and the 2022 or 2021
No difference aside from different colours every year. Either than that nothing changed between the 2021 and 2023 models
would this scooter be suitable for a tall person (6'5")?
I am 6’1 and I did look a bit big on it… but that’s the case with most 125cc scooters. I’m sure you can use it at 6’5 as well
I rode the sister bike 150 I am 6'2 and it felt good for me. Should do you OK.
What did you trade the PCX in for, and why?
I ordered a Honda CB500X; mostly because we want to do longer trips that involve some more highway driving
@@RedskullPro forza 350 would be also nice choice in my opinion
@@iPohujble I was considering the adv 350 but I ended up with the cb500x :)
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
I've never been on a scooter before!
You are missing out!
Do it. Cheap, reliable, fun and go anywhere... Great way to travel.
the 2022 pcx can fit 1 full-face helmet and 1 half face helmet under the seat :) you just have to try a bit harder
It doesn’t unless you push and bend the seat… or maybe you have very small helmets :)
@@RedskullPro schuberth c3 pro fits like glove :)
wish this was an electric scooter. have been hoping you'd review roadworthy electric bikes/scooters for a while.
The range on the electric ones is still pretty limited… i looked into getting the Seat Electric Scooter… but €6500 and 120km range… come on…
Tesla ev and scooters are catching fire...in the msm news too....Gas is still supreme and easier to convoy/carry
Why? To save to planet. This thing uses no fuel, little resources, super reliable, and is great in traffic. Let this electric (fever) dream die will you please.
I m going to buy pcx125 red,
Great scooter! You are gonna love it!
How tall are you bro? Will it be ok for me im 184 cm tall?
I am 183. Felt a little small but still okay I think
@@RedskullPro thank you, it seems ok...
Tell me what is the highest speed this model reaches?
The fastest I’ve been on it was 112km/h
@@RedskullPro I used to get 116 out of the PCX150 but I am a biggish guy. This shouldn't be more than 5k's slower.
I have a full license, and own a z900, and a mt09. Both are amazing but it doesn’t fail to impress me how good and fuel efficient this little scooter is, just ordered the new 2023 model in the new grey color scheme.
For in town riding a scooter is unbeatable!
have had big bikes ,small bikes ,and pick up my new pcx125 in matt blue next wednesday march the 1st. had a new 2020 model and it was great so this one with 4 valve engine ,new frame , wider tyres different dash should be excellent . i never carry a passenger ,am now 74 and my wife has her own vespa ,she is 72 and we ride locally together ,living the dream.
what is the price in ur country?
3400 euros
@@RedskullPro 125cc?
Ordering one today $5190 on the road.
@@nothere9551 hmm nice look this is my dream bike which i can never have
Same white colour
I think white is the best colour for this scooter
@@RedskullPro exactly right but one disadvantage is easy to get dirty what i mean is need to extra care for it's colour
I wash mine every couple of weeks :)
@@RedskullPro i wash mine every single week
Di indonesia Type yg sama PCX 160 CC bukan 125 CC - apakah itu rakitan lokal atau CBU dari jepang ?
It’s definitely not local assembly, but I couldn’t tell you where it was made without checking the stickers on it
@@RedskullPro thanks for information, and success your content

The PCX 125 for Europe are assembled by Honda Italy from a KnockDown produced by Honda Vietnam.
7:00 that graffiti probably might be offensive to some people, specially for those who understand spanish 😂
Yeah, I noticed it after I published the video 😵💫
PCX in US? 😲
I’m in Spain. Not sure if the PCX is sold in the US 🤷♂️
@@RedskullPro oh I see. Good to know pcx is allowed in Spain 👌
There's loads of pcx in the USA. 150 and 160.
Are you Romanian?
I sure am
@@RedskullPro Stiam eu :) greu sa scapi de accent haha
I have 2019 pcx 150cc
How many horse power does the 150cc has?
@@RedskullPro I'm not sure but you can Google it lol
@@RedskullPro you can try honda Forza as well which is an upgrade over pcx
I actually order a CB500X. I’m picking it up later this week
@@RedskullPro wow it's a great easy ride bike enjoy it
in here (asian) pcx is 160cc
Yeah, you get the better version of it! How many horse power does the 160cc version have?
here in the uk 125 ,due to licencing laws . 17 year old can ride on L plates for 2 years after completing Compulsery basic training . i have had a full licence for many years.
The seat is not comfortable if u ride it for time
For an hour to max 2 hours is okay. More than that no
Indonesia PCX 160
160 would be better! Do you know how many hp the 160cc version has?
😎👍
Thanks for checking out the video!
"with" is not pronounced as "wud"
Nice of you to help a guy who is learning his second language “I would say”.
Imagine leaving a comment this stupid on a video you watched for free 😀
Only in the citys. NOT ON THE AUTOBAHN
Definitely not for highways😀
Cuando no sabes que vídeo hacer
haha, asi mismo :)
A bmw 650gt is better than
haha, also much more expensive...much more power :)
very good presentation ! what is your height ? ?
183cm. I look a bit big on this scooter
Best scooter i ever had
It is an outstanding scooter for sure! Price/value ratio is outstanding!
