Peugeot Speedfight 4 125 Review
"Decent commuter scooter if bought right, but inspect thoroughly first."
Used Buyer Review
The Speedfight 4 125 is Peugeot's attempt to stay relevant in a scooter market dominated by Honda and Yamaha, and honestly it's not a bad shout if you find a clean one. The liquid-cooled engine pulls decently well for a 125, and that aggressive styling still turns heads in a way that a boring PCX never will. Build quality is acceptable rather than impressive — it's French, which tells you everything. Used, you're shopping for rust on the underframe and checking whether the previous owner actually serviced it. These have a known weakness with the variator rollers wearing faster than you'd like, and the electrics can get temperamental if water's been getting in anywhere. Insist on a full service history and budget for a variator refresh if you can't verify it's been done recently. Dealers often price these optimistically because of the badge — don't overpay. For commuting under 30 miles daily it's genuinely decent fun, but if reliability is your absolute priority, buy a Honda Lead instead.
