I've been stepping down a notch repeatedly and now have 2 Vespa 150cc. Curb hop daily. The new one gets about 91 avg mpg and the old one gets 99 avg mpg. I never thought I'd ride a 150 and now don't want to be without one. And I ride mine almost daily....Maybe one day a month I'll miss. Scooter life is great!!!!
i didn't realize they got such good mpg because they were heavier. I rode a vespa 150 for a bit and it was very high quality. But its expected with the price.
Thanks! I still have my pcx and its still my fav scooter. You can't beat it. Is the 2017 the updated pcx? Im thinking of upgrading to a newer pcx. id love to have the euro tech on my pcx like the auto start feature.
I found your channel through a compilation where you saved that bird, and I was instantly intrigued when I suddenly heard you speak portuguese! Sou meia portuguesa, por isso adoro ouvir a nossa língua fora de Portugal 🔥 Don't mind if I misspelled anything. I can understand and speak more then write 😂
I own a '22 ADV 150. Max speed is about 67 mph. Mileage varies, but riding back rural roads delivers over 100 mpg. More highway miles drops to over 90 mpg. I agree that cross winds have a noticeable effect on the "bike", but certainly that oversized, insulated delivery box exacerbates the effects of wind. I find your business model interesting. I'll have to explore your videos to see if you elaborate on that, as I'm new you your channel. Thanks!
I bought my 2022 SYM Fiddle 4 200i (169cc) scooter because it had a flat floor that I didn’t have to step over like my old Suzuki Burgman 400. It does decent on the back roads at 55 to 60 mph. It has12” wheels. But I still like my Burgman 400 on the interstate for longer rides.
What are your thoughts on the Yamaha SMax 155? I just bought one with 9400 kms (I'm in Canada) I like the bike, but it is a bit heavy for me (I'm 75 and have had 4 other bikes in my life). The otherr issue is I am 5'61/2'and can just reach the ground with my toes...seat is very comfortable, tires are 1" smaller than the Honda. Would appreciate your thoughts. I subscribed.

@@motardsquid I enjoyed your video watching the food delivery service/routine. I'm really not in a place to do that, but would like to learn more about how you've setup and run your operation.
i wan to change my bike for a big scooter. im watching silver wing 600, burgman 650, and gilera gp 800 🤔 the gp is the most i like, but i fear for isues. the burgman i like the posibility of use manual change look good 👍 but i fear for prblem too. the silver wing is the last option but look like have no problem for used bike, look like the most sicure mecanich ☺️ sorry my english ☺️🤙 what do you thing ✌️🤙
B650 is great but after you get it, you will only use the manual gear change when you first get it. You will realize you don't want or need it. Silver Wing will go 17,000 U.S. miles between belt changes which is awesome. Both will get between 50-60 U.S. mpg. Both will travel well on highway speeds. The Silver Wing is easier to work on. The B650 has the belt as no service. It breaks and you are stuck unless you want to disassemble the whole bike to replace it..
I liked my silverwing. Now as you know i have the tmax. The tmax is more fun and more upright seating position. The silverwing seating position was too lougelike for me, and i prefered a more neutral sitting position. You should look at the middle weights such as the yamaha xmax and honda forza. They might be capable of what you want.
I call rare scooters orphan scooters. I have a Kymco Grand Vista/Dink 250. It was only $500. Not that comfortable either but it did have a busted left damper I couldn't see until the seat bucket was out for a carb problem. Got decent poke though. It is a bit of a pig being bigger. I'd love an ADV 160 or maybe an XR150L as our streets are an absolute disgrace. One thing I hate about these mini/maxi scooters is no tray in front of your knees. With my old Buddys I always stuffed those full of water bottles for the summer. Chick Fil A blows chunks with their wait times and low pay outs. I'm only going to do DD there going forward and that's only because of the AR horse manure. My next bike will def. be EFi. So damn tired of carbs. ABS would be perfect too. I just noticed you're in the DC region - Metro Transit Shuttle - I didn't recognize your suburb though. Ah. The Socialist Republic of Takoma Park. I'm rarely there. Right at the end you got d'town.
It's a shame you don't have the SH150i. 16 inch wheels is better than smaller wheels. I also have a primavera with 11 inch wheels. Being in the UK, I have the 125 version. I also do deliveries, my 2021 is at around 56700 miles. I don't think I would choose the pcx, if that was my only choice of Honda, I would have the Nmax. My SHi does around 125 mpg. UK gallon. I tend to get 200 miles out of a tank. I do JE, deliveroo and Uber eats. Not so much uber as their pay is very low.
Only one drawback of a 150cc they are great for local and backroads but avoid the highways buzzing the limiter for highway use is just bad if you must highway ride get a 300cc
Good review I own a yamaha x max 300 best scooter I have owned has ore storage than the pcx faster will do 90 miles per hour larger tires check one out.

Inspired by your videos I got a Honda PCX 150 2017 and I love it. I am having more fun on the small scooter than on my previous bigger motorcycles.

I'm confused . You've mentioned several scooters. Which is the one you're praising in this video? I think I'd like to have one.
Love Honda scooters, and I love your videos.
Glad you like them! i wasn't sure people liked the food delivery videos. Im going to try delivering on my fjr1300 next

Nice point. Wuth the Suzuki, you have to split the cases to replace drive belt?
@@ridervfr2798 Yes, but it "should" last about 70k miles.

Burgman 650 is great but it's discontinued sadly so I do suggest you get a burgman 400 now hear me out yes it's slower but you can parts for it
I have a Honda Forza and its just a beautiful and powerful scooter. The Forza line has also an automatic windshield. 😀
What's an automatic windshield?
@@dark12ain Windshield or windscreen. You can press a button to move it up and down.
@@iitzkryy9599 that's dope as fck! 😲 on a scooter sheesh💪🏿

Totally agree about the 150cc being the perfect size bike…and the PCX being the best scooter out there.
Couldn't agree more!

When I fill up my Vespa I always exclaim out loud "6 dollars!!! What a rip off" Ha!!!
I'm running a motofino 125 it was some work they actually restrict them to like 30 never seen a restricted 125 but meh tomorrow maiden voyage
what is the top speed on it?
Good review I own a yamaha x max 300 best scooter I have owned has ore storage than the pcx faster will do 90 miles per hour larger tires check one out.
There’s one for sale and I’ve been like looking at it. The guy wants $2200 for it and it’s been on sale for a while.
i like scooters but it kinda drives me a little nuts that you keep referring to the scooter as a bike lol
It drives me crazy when people call them mopeds lol one of these days ill get a moped for deliveries
150 cc is considered a MC and need a license
