I'm jealous of your MPG ratings :-)
I did a terrible buy with my EVO on that, which is still in the breakin period, but only gets 66MPG.. :( I'm sure it'll get better, but I'm not expecting anywhere near the 99MPG you're getting! |

After a loooong scooter drought (well, four months), I got a PCX150 on Saturday. Liquid cooling, EFI, and performance were the deciding factors.
Downsides are the lack of native storage (which I plan to solve with cheapy throw-over saddlebags) and the valve adjustment interval (2500 miles). It takes me a long time to accumulate 2500 scooter miles, and I am considering the dealer's offer of a "pay-upfront", six-times service contract to deal with that (can no longer handle wrenching myself). In my area, all moto labor rates are very high (av. $100 per hour); the contract ain't cheap ($1000 & change), but when a valve check/adjustment involves the removal of all the plastics just to start work, this may be the best I can do to at least keep service costs as low as possible (for this area anyhow). That's gonna be 200 bucks just to take the panels off and put them back on. I'll be calling a couple of independant shops for service quotes before I decide. |

not having a flat floorboard is one of the greatest downsides of the Honda.

Thanks for the review.
The only vehicle where I have seen a common starter/generator was an airplane.

I managed to get about 122 km/h (~76 mph) on my PCX 150, and I was still accelerating when I had to slow down. That was on a slight decline, mind you. On a slight incline (i.e. on the way there), I was still getting >110 km/h (~68).
For reference, I'm 5'10/180 pounds and the machine has no mods. |

that's nice.
My chinese scoot barely gets 63MPH, 55MPH with a stong wind from the opposite direction. |
