Only a year out.
Ah, so not as good as my 2002 Peugeot then. That had abs on front only but discs at each end. :(

Got a Honda Forza 125 2016 , that's got ABS on it , discs front & rear .
Had to use it once and probably saved a crash . Some nitwit pulled out on me . You could feel the brakes going on/off .
Great bit of kit.

Quite like the reviews of the Yamaha Nmax 125, full abs, variable valve time 4 valve head, bit more power etc, 1 going locally i am tempted to buy but heart set on a vanvan 200 at the minute.

You can not beat the Van Van i did all the passes in Euro land on a 125 three weeks of utter bliss and p155ed off a load of big adventure bike riders getting to places they could not :lol: :lol: it is only the second bike in my life i regret selling...( once you get used to the lac of speed. :D
Lyn. PS: i rode a 200 a guy bought in France and imported, not a lot faster about 4mph but loads more torq so no slowing down on hills.
I wonder if my local dealer still has the one he had in stock.

Some cracking jap imports on ebay, black one for 2295 i have my eye on but about 500 quid more than i have, couple of mates have custom 200s and one has done a big front wheel conversion, feels like a tonka truck with an armchair seat. Spotted this yellow one on the web and its exactly what i fancy building.

The NEW 2018 PCX is, or about to hit the shops, not a lot changed really, ABS front only, drum back, new styling, especially the front and head lights, 1h.p more, swirly spoked wheels, wider tyres, and bigger front storage box with revised catch, all for an extra £100 on the full list price of the 'old' version, now £2899.
Still nice looking though! :D

I've had my new model PCX for a few days now and put on 300 miles. I find that the seat is the only bad thing about the bike although the front brake isn't that great either so not convinced that the ABS is such a huge improvement - maybe too early to say until the pads have bedded in properly. The bike is certainly fine in terms of power and quite capable of tackling A roads without any issue. Really enjoying it so far.
