Piaggio Medley wins all the way. Comfort and stability(fuel tank directy on the bottom so best stability and largest boot) abs front and rear also large front wheel equals for me a great lean angle to all 125cc however the sh may have a greater turning lean angle🤔 not sure.. but all in tech and styling you cant beat it..14.5hp like a maxi scooter and comparable storage.. the end.
The Medley is still by far the best spec scooter among these. Modest weight, space for not just one but two full helmets, safer in the rain, and a decent price plus the best power to weight ratio and the only one here capable of (almost) motorway speeds. The PCX is still very, very good but it's still way down on power and comfort compared to the Medley. The rest of them are largely style and not much substance, though the feather weight 99 kilos of the Yamaha RayZR and its rock bottom price makes it a bargain but 8 hp is seriously underpowered. I assume you missed out the Forza as it is a maxi scooter. The Sh125 is still excellent but is eclipsed by the Medley's power and storage
I've been riding the SH125i since May 2021. I did consider the Medley, but on spec I believed the Honda was the better bike. My SH is now at 58700 miles. I believe I made a good choice. The stop start is better than the medley. It has less power than the medley, but i believe has a better range. I have personally done 200 miles on a tank. I had many belts, brake pads, even a variator and recently new back disk. My left rear shock appears to have started leaking. The top box often opens whilst riding due to the lumpy roads and cause the latch is spring loaded. The hinges broke and lid is pretty much held on by zip ties. No bike with smaller wheels can be ranked higher than a bike with 16 inch wheels, unless you don't ride much. I ride in all weather day and night, hitting a pot hole you didn't see cause its full of rain water is much worse on smaller wheels, 100% on this, as I also have a 2014 11 inch wheel primavera. Which has done 44,000 ish. As you put the pcx at number 1, just thought I would add, I hate the PCX. The Nmax is a much nicer scooter. Also it has no flat floor and small wheels.
Check the prices in my Country "Greece" all this scooters are cheaper especially Sym and Piaggio.....We don't have Lexmoto...The brands we have are Kymco, Sym from Taiwan Honda Yamaha Suzuki from Japan , Piaggio Aprilia Italjet from Italy and Zontes , Keeway , Daytona-Dayang , Thrust , Qj Motors , Voge from China , Peugeot Scooters from France and UM from USA.....also Malaguti and Lambretta China production - Italian Design......The prices in Greece are lower because a lot of people use Scooters and Motorcycles...Best selling brand Sym 2 Honda 3 Piaggio 4 Yamaha 5 Kymco the best 5 brands....

Hi there, yep you are wrong! I have owned both the PCX and currently a Medley 125 and its no contest, the Piaggio is the better machine. Much more stable due to the bigger wheels , more storage, comfier ride, adjustable rear suspension. Cheers Del.
What makes a good scooter for myself, low seat height, low entry height (so I can get the busted right leg in there) and with capabilities to stay ahead of normal traffic speeds, including freeway riding (maybe not a 125, I don't know.) Storage, space reliability and good looks as well.
Having owned both the nmax and pcx I can say that the pcx has more acceleration off the line but the nmax has better top speed and feels a lot more comfortable to drive but they’re both very good scooters so you can’t go wrong with either
How can you put the SR GT in front of the Medley? Medley comes with ABS, and SR GT is optional if you pay for it, the rest is the same, and it is also more expensive 😢
Just bought Piaggio medley 125, only scooter in this price range with, front -rear ABS,ASR,liqued coolant engine and two helmet under seat..and for my wife big front wheels😅😅😅 (Yamaha, Honda,kymco,even Sym I try but all missing one thing)👍👍👍👍
What is reliability like for the Piaggio medley 125cc long term ? . I currently commute to work on a Sym Orbit 3 125cc and although it never misses a beat it's a terrible ride with really bad suspension especially the front and it could do with just a bit more power . My commute is 12 miles each way on A roads ranging from 30mph till 50mph speed limits although the scooter really comes into it's own in rush hour stand still it's amazing for getting past stationery cars
Iv recently bought a 2019 Piaggio medley and I couldn’t be more happy.. although I got lucky and it’s only got 3k kmh on it it’s still a very good bike also has bigger wheels in front so you don’t feel the terrible roads as much
I will soon get my first bike ever and i'm between Sym JetX 125 & Honda PCX125, what's the best option people? both priced pretty close in my country, pcx is 200 euro more.
I'm thinking about getting my first 125cc scooter. I would like it to be fit for the city, but also to get out of the city maybe into the mountains a bit, as well as being able to carry a 2nd passenger maybe if needed. Any recommendations? I have 0 clue about motorbikes, its types and what's important. So far the "coolest" i have seen was the Honda Forza.
@@goginikoloski9673best selling, yes. But it's too basic and doesn't offer as much power and style as a few others. Activa and Jupiter are family oriented scooters while Ntorq is more of a sporty one
from where i am (Reunion island) almost all those Scooters are at least 5K euros, so i actually got a Longjia XDV125, wich is basically a Lexmoto XDV 125 (same scoot, different branding) for 3k900. I really like it, pretty decent, except when it's windy here and i can't go over 80km/h with front wind xD
The three Piaggio scooters are the same engine in a different dress. Yet they get three slots. The Suzuki scooters again same engine in a different dress and they get one slot. 🙃😃
@@Teo_greek Quite a few local Vespa owners in Taiwan sold their Vespas of latest "iget" engines within two years of new purchases. Some were sold within 2,000 kilometers on odometers because the owners were scared by sudden stalling due to unexpected glitches while riding.

Piaggio Medley, for sure. Mine, from 2018, is a super scooter.

So far the "coolest" i have seen was the Honda Forza.
Here in India, Tvs Ntorq is the king of 125cc scooter. Even Suzuki avenis is inspired by Ntorq💥
BTW, i am owner of Yamaha RayZR
how many USD is a new Tvs Ntorq 125cc?
As much as I know, in your country Honda Activa is by far the best selling scooter.

should i buy for my first bike a x man 125cc?
is there a bhp limit on CBT? or maybe power to weight ratio?

That aprilia gt is nice

PCX vs NMAX in 2025 will be interesting, both updated!

Yes they are!
