Honda Pcx 125 Review

Used Buyer Review

The PCX 125 is genuinely one of the smartest used buys in the small scooter segment, and I say that as someone who's ridden everything from 50cc runabouts to litre-class bikes. Honda built this thing properly — the eSP engine is smooth, frugal, and practically bulletproof if it's been serviced. Check the oil change history obsessively, because neglected examples do develop camchain rattle around 15,000 miles. That's your first diagnostic point at any used viewing. Practically speaking, the underseat storage swallows a full-face helmet, the ride quality embarrasses bikes costing twice as much, and fuel economy in the 100mpg region is genuinely achievable in mixed riding. The 2021 refresh brought a larger 12-litre tank and improved suspension — worth targeting specifically. Weaknesses? It's a 125, so dual carriageways are a white-knuckle experience and two-up riding kills the fun entirely. Plastics scratch easily and sellers rarely admit this. Always inspect the lower fairing panels carefully — they're expensive to replace and virtually every used example has caught a kerb somewhere.
