downsize
With me being up for my second replacement knee this summer and just getting over a bulging disc in my back, a lighter scoot is on the menu. So I'm chopping in my RE 500 classic for a PCX 125, the latest one seems to be a good machine from what I've read, and sitting around 50mph is fine for me these days, and the 120mpg will be handy. There's a 22 plate with 140 miles, not an ex demo near me, should have it by weekend.
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.

Excellent horobags! Good choice with the pcx. Let us all know what you think of it.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Re: downsize
I wouldn't be worried about published performance stats. From my observation of scoots in London, I can assure you that the PCX is easily the fastest thing on two wheels, no question.

Re: downsize
I'd agree with that Stephen. We have a couple circulating around my area as delivery bikes. I've never seen either of them going slowly. In fact I was gliding along the dual carriageway at a relaxing 60mph on the GTS when one of em happily romped by me doing 65 at least, & the road was flat. They certainly will take some punishment! It's a Honda!!

Re: downsize
+1 on the comments above.
Order a Deliveroo meal and if it's coming from 2 miles or less it's faster by bicycle. 2 - 5 miles your best bet of it being hot is if it arrives on a PCX!
Given their status as the go-to delivery scooter, they hold their value well, too.
Enjoy!
