Still think it looks to be a fab thing, though still think I'd like a version with a bigger engine!!

Cheers Mr Grumpy, Blue Bottle,

I'm keeping an eye on this little scoot: roomier, better storage, screen adjustment, faster, capable on faster roads, good looks, mpg, not too weighty.

Could it be the panacea to my scootering/biking dreams and woes?!

A top speed of 118kph/73 mph sounds an awful lot more realistic than the '81mph on GPS' claims on some of the other tests! I really think its a great thing, though 73mph isn't really enough in the real world - a decent headwind would drag it back to 65 or less.
What are the bets that the 7456 and 14912 mile service intervals will end up as 6000 and 12000 miles in the UK??

id rather it be 8000 and 16000 65 mph and 70 mph is good for a 125, ive seen utube of steady 120 kph but the scoot at top of rev range, i am sure some astute spanish buyers will be putting in 1 or 2gm extra weight dr P`s to loose a 1000 rpm for same speed, which will depend on the roller ramp plate if there is room for the belt to rise more, there usually is

That price looks a little better - another £1000 on top of the PCX's price.

We'll have to wait. Perhaps not quite a motorway hustler......

I think 118kph is the manufacturers VNE rather than maximum attainable.

I've heard that is 10,000 and the rev limiter is set close to 10,500 (80 mph at the wheels give or take a gnat's)

My rev limiter cuts in at 70 m.p.h.But I very rarely go as quick as that.But I do get 125 m.p.g.

so as long as you can cruise at 65-70 will me cool. wonder also what kawasaki will now bring out the yam 125 is attaining 125 kph with slight mods, will be an interesting year to see what develops
