Karnie Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I have always wanted to buy motorcycle but never come to final decision but from yesterday event it made me think again so I bought loads of motorcycle mags this evening and I found below 2 brands that I quite like it. Actually, I like big bike, Vespa and Lambretta style but their price cost me a fortune and for big bike would probably not suit me because of my legs aren't that long and I am not get used to ride motorcycle with clutch. From all mags I bought today, there are loads of cool modify colors & style for Honda PCX and they all look stunning and tempting! I still have not check how much it cost yet but I would like to have some advice from you guys which one is a better choice between above two. PS : I prefer 125cc or higher. Thanks a million.

funky_house Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I was looking at the Honda PCX. Its got great fuel economy, and has had some good reviews. Never seen the Suzuki before. Maybe PiAnt can give you some advice. He seems pretty up on motorbikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorea Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 That Honda PCX, according to magazin.dk (it's about motorcycles and cars in DK), is very popular in the South Europe (Italy, I guess). It's very nice design, Karnie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnie Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 thank you very much kha for the comment. i do like PCX more and just google its price cost almost 80K! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiAnt Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I think if you're shocked at the price of the Honda ja you probably wouldn't want to know how much the Suzuki would cost. The Honda there is big, but the Suzuki is bigger. Much bigger. Great up country but hard work in town traffic. Of those two I'd choose the Honda, but I'd suggest you get out and around some shops and sit on a few things to find something you like. I still like the Nouvo Elegance; it's a good size, got a bit more poke at 135cc and maintenance costs pennies. Price around 55000 I think.

Thanks so much kha for very useful advice. i saw the Honda one at the dam last Sunday and i quite like it. if the Suzuki is bigger and more expensive then i have no interested kha. Ahhh.... I saw modified Nouvo Elegance on mags i bought too. i will check it out kha. I do like Khun Dave's bike as it is cute with great paint job, accessories and style really look alike the Vespa one but it's only 110cc.

English_Bob Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 The Fino is fine for driving around town.... but on Sunday it was hard work for the little kid... It sat at full throttle at 110kmh for hours with two people on it, but it didn't like it much. If you want cute AND fast, you can increase the power of the Fino... but to be honest in the four years I've had it, I didn't need a lot of power until Sunday! I like the Honda Elegant too.

I like the Fino too and the price is getting more expensive than its first debut. I saw loads of modified Fino which really awesome. But if I increase the power of the Fino from 110cc to be 125cc or 135cc... Will it effect engine or something else later on? sorry I dont know much about this kind of thing esp modified ones. Yes! the Honda Elegant is very cute and look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is only you on earth that have helmet before have bike. that's a funny thought! i rarely using motorbike taxi nowadays coz not much chance to use and once i use it's only short distance and they dont have helmet for me. most importantly, i wont carry helmet everywhere i go no matter how funky look it is. seriously, if i am going to bu a bike then i need to buy new helmet with more safety too... in case accident happens at least the helmet can keep my brain in place not spread all over the street. i don't want to add or be the person who make our beloved city get "dirty".
