Go Big and Ride Small

[illmor]

I know it's about attitude and expectations, but how often do you think "i could do with 500cc here" ? I'm curious as recently downsized myself. Waiting for more photos. Good luck !!!

Absolutely awesome.... You put many so called adventure riders to shame ..... How you enjoying the Honda?

Do you know what, this is an awesome…. Scooter

Twist and go makes for a very nice ride, the CVT is absolutely spot on so is smooth from take off to top speed.
The seat is comfy for long journeys but mostly because there are loads of places to put your feet on the running boards.
The tank is only 8 litres but for the last 5 fillips it’s been giving me 140mpg so I don’t have to fill up till 200 miles which is a bonus.
There’s 30 litres of space under the seat-brilliant!
The screen with the puig lip on it deflects all the noisy air away and I can ride comfortably with an open face helmet on.
The stopstart is fantastic and low weight of 130kg wet means town traffic is easily managed.
And brand new price was £3200. You can’t go wrong with that.
Yeh, I’m totally loving this one.

And then in answer to the next question: nope, at no point have I thought I wished I had more CCs, honestly I’ve watched a guy on a loaded Harley struggle to turn his bike, and every time I fill up I think I’m glad I’m on the 125.
Even on mountain passes or faster roads I can just pull over to let faster traffic get by and I can carry on enjoying the scenery

That's a great review Chris.... Really enjoying following your trip, am I right in thinking the Dolomites are Italy area???...take care and enjoy

Yep, on Google maps Cortina D’ampezzo seems to be near some of the good stuff

There's a lot to be said for taking your time and smelling the daisies as you go.

When I tested the PCX the biggest issue I had was with lack of space on the running boards. My shoes would stick outside the bodywork. So I was leaning towards the NMax, but ended with SH150i. Great scooter too, a little less space under the seat, but it came with a top box that is connected to the keyless ignition so it opens without fiddling around with a key.

I spotted this bike, waiting for the ferry to Iceland and thought. Here is Godspeeds German counterpart Mr. Gottschnell.

Bloody hell, he’s even managed to fit a Tesla as a tank bag!!

Just a couple from up here in the Dolomites.
Managed to get 155mpg over a full tank today, think it was all that cruising down steep hairpins
