In the Philippines Honda offers this in a 160 (157cc) version in two trims: CBS and ABS. Both trims have discs front and back. The CBS is a combination brake model (use one brake, it automatically brakes with the other) and that's it. The ABS model has its ABS only on the front disc and only the ABS model gets TCS. I'm surprised the 125 can go up to 115kph because the 160 here can only go up to 125 realistically. While some say it can go up to 130+.... Maybe on a good day.... On a downhill...... With less wind. i dont know.
Thx for watching my video, we don't have 150/160cc engines here. Also 125cc are only models allowed to come with cbs, over that it always abs. They do sell the forza 125 with abs here. Ride safe
@@SpitfirePT I just realized that license restrictions necessitate the production of 125cc units instead of the newer 160 unit. Also the reason why a big-ass forza with a teeny 125cc is in existence. great video btw. You remind me of mr Cagerontwowheels.
Hi, I am a scooter lover, i do think they are more practical for the everyday use and if we go up on CC they are even better for long commute. I love having the storage and the confort they offer and not having to shift gear in the middle of traffic. Ride Safe
In my opinion, the 125cc category makes more sense in scooters. Scooters are meant to be practical and economic. It's the best tool to get around and they have luggage space. Top of the range like Forza or Xmax also will give you the ability to go on longer rides with comfort. Motorbikes, on the other hand, have gears and at this lower CC you can't get all the pleasure of shifting and playing with the gear box. There are cool looking and very good 125cc motorbikes but i usually see their owners complaining more about the CC limitations than Scooter owners. Scooter owners know what they are getting while many motorbike owners are only fooling themselves into thinking they don't need to get their license. Now remember that this is only my perspective and that there are many thousands of very happy 125 motorbike riders out there.
This is a good bike for developed countries in warm climates like Spain, Italy, Thailand. Not so good in cold countries or developing countries with poor infrastructure :( I think I will get the Honda XADV its better for the rough roads of Africa).
hi, you have to buy the bike according to your needs. of course you are not going to buy street bike if you leave in the country :) ride safe my friend
Nice video.What is your opinion between pcx125 2021 and sh150i 2021 about the riding position-waist(lower back)-suspensions?Asking for delivery use.Thanks
Hi, sh is better in every way except fuel consumption. It your call what its best for you. Earn a bit more money with pcx but be less conformable or the opposite
How heavy are you mate? Saw a review for the 160cc version and the top speed is 115(with traction control on) and 118(tc off)..maybe they have limiters?
Traction control and rider modes on a 125 has to be a marketing gimmick to make it more attractive to new riders and (for younger riders) riders parents. But in reality, like you where saying, pretty pointless. Good work horses though 👍
Hi yes exactly my tough. Makes bikes more expensive and it does nothing major. But good marketing sells a lot. Yes build to last if you do maintenance schedule. Ride safe
Unless you have to break on wet surfaces and suddenly realize traction control is not only about stopping your wheels from spinning when making unintended burnouts.
@@SpitfirePT I have just bought Honda it still has rear drum in 2021. It break decent. However the built quality of sym just didn't felt good. So I went for the brand.
@@SpitfirePT I am not sure if it's me, but it looks to me that there is huge difference in quality of built between higher end sym motors and lower end sym motors. It looks to me like there are produced in a different factory, do you have the same feeling?
@@komoornik hi, i dont have video comparing but i answer that question on the comments of videos. nmax has better breaks but suspension is bit worst. the rest is almost the same, its going to be a question of taste. i personally prefer the honda becaus of windscreen. ride safe
NMAX is slightly quicker, more comfortable seat, better breaks. But honda has better build quality, more economical engine, better lighting, larger cargo under the seat. Imo the pcx wins inner city.
hi, max top speed i was able to reach where i leave and with my weigth. maybe it can give a bit more but not that mutch. its a bit bigger but honestly does not make that mutch diference. ride safe
Thanks for the review. I appreciate the English version.
Thanks for watching my simple channel. Ride safe
Are you getting one Paul? Hopefully not too long for UK release 🤞
Wel done to you, the first person to speak of the PCX in English, thank you 😀
Hi, hope that means new subscriber :) ride safe
Not in the UK yet! It’s a delayed release for us 😠
@Anders Aidan ride safe
@Too Legit To Quit i would never return to that kind of dealership. Really bad practice. Should report to yamaha. Ride safe
@Too Legit To Quit we also have covid here and there are none of that condition on our local dealer
A very informative film. I took delivery of mine today looking forward to my journey of owning & riding a scooter 😀
Good luck with new scooter. Ride Safe
Traction control absolutely makes sense in the rain in some situations!
What exactly it do?

Great vid, thank you for English too A*, nice job mate. I’m awaiting UK release, been delayed for us unfortunately.
Hi thank for watching. Soon you will have the model there, them again is a good excuse to visit Portugal and wnjoy a testdrive :)
In UK we have no selection of bikes 🏍 or food there is even 150cc PCX but not in UK or Honda Adv
My god, that is beautiful.
Loving the look of the New PCX .... 250 version would be nice . Thanks Mr.Spitfire for the 🛵review😁
Hi, 250 its not used on my country. Usually 125 and 300. Thx for watching. Ride safe
The asia only 160 with 15hp would be perfect for me, but would not be saleable in uk & europe. Not enough old buffers like me left!!
just ordered gray one cant wait ! btw where are they manufactured?
Excellent informative review
Thank you for the English language excellent
Thanks for watching. Ride safe
i have a 2013 model and still happy, but it's time for something new, still don't now what the new one will be

The handlebars are too chrome for me is the only thing that puts me off. Can you switch off the idle stop?
Good video.
How do you think 125 scooters and motorbikes compare in general?

Hi I am between buying a nmax or this and I am really looking forward to a comparison video!!

@@SpitfirePT Thanks a lot man ill order it come summer time thanks a lot for the help!
Thank you! Please review the Honda Vision 110 if you can :)

Thanks so much !
Thank you for viewing my review. Ride safe
Thank you
Thanks to speak in English💥

Hi, 110/70-14 Michelin City Grip (front tire) has production faulty. Watch out, it's shaking the motorcycle.
Hi, thank you for the information. Good to know. Ride Safe
Hi, does the glove compartment lock? On the last model it didn’t.
No nor does the 2021

@@gabkoost 🤔 that is a fair point. Thanks for raising it I had not considered that I’ll have to give it a try on my Mrs PCX 👍
What would you suggest, PCX 125 or SYM JET X 125
Hi, I never sugestões the pcx, hate that they have rear drum break. Its 2021 should be better. Ride Safe
@@SpitfirePT I have just bought Honda it still has rear drum in 2021. It break decent. However the built quality of sym just didn't felt good. So I went for the brand.

Any chance for a comparison with 2021 NMAX?
hi, the nmax has just arrived at dealerships, waiting for model to ride. ride safe
@@SpitfirePT it's been 3 months now :D Would love a comparison.

@@TopTechTrendsX nope, Honda Sh wins ;)
Where's Borat lol
115 max speed you said? The screen is bigger than the previous model?
hi, max top speed i was able to reach where i leave and with my weigth. maybe it can give a bit more but not that mutch. its a bit bigger but honestly does not make that mutch diference. ride safe
And how is the stopping power????
hi, it could be better if it had rear disk. but then again the price would be anoter.
@@SpitfirePT For someone over 100kilos would be enough??
where is the rear brake? still this “drum” trash?
hi, yes stil drums on the rear :( its a shame for sutch a nice scooter. ride safe
Don't need to change something that works well anyway
If you want premium everything you have to get the FORZA.
It comes with both front and rear disc break in my country 😁
I call it a LED display lol
Didn't get the joke
Can you drive this thing in the rain?
hi, why not? is a normal sccoterm just have to be carefull. ride safe
@@SpitfirePT Thanks I wasn't sure don't know much about these
