Problem with the PCX 150, is that I had a similar, but larger bike just like this. The BMS TBX 260 EFI. I actually want something with a flat floorboard (for groceries), that has a high gas mileage, and can replace my TaoTao ATM50 for regular short trips to the supermarket, and occasional highway (just in case I ever end up on the highway again with my scoot, that at least I'm able to maintain the 50MPH, even uphill or with wind against me). The TaoTao does 50MPH, but if there's more than 30MPH winds against me, the thing does not go faster than 40, or sometimes even 35MPH.
When the scooter is hot (after a good 15 minutes of riding), it's adequate, and does 50MPH on a good day.
When it's cold, it performs lousy. I wanted something just powerful enough to accelerate fast, but also have a great top speed.

When I look at the 125's top speed, I wonder if it's really a good upgrade from my TaoTao; I mean, is the better acceleration, and +10MPH worth the $4k?
I might look back on the chinese 150's.
There are a lot of nice looking scoots out nowadays!
