    It is, I know.


    But it's hot anyway. I always ride with a jacket, gloves and wearing jeans. And with a flip-up helmet which is always closed when riding.


    And I also tend to drive with higher speeds, and it's so much more pleasant without the wind hitting you :D

    In some Asian countries Honda sells the PCX with a rear disc brake instead of the drum brake. Unfortunately, you don't have this choice in Europe.


    Since you wrote that you've mounted the keyless top box - does the SH-series come without a top box at stock in Poland? In Germany it comes with the top box (which is a good thing since the underseat storage is small on the SH).

    Yeah, but even with rear disc the PCX still does not have rear ABS :D


    And yes, Sh here in Poland comes without the Top Box. Which is fine I guess because it's much cheaper - and I only paid fraction of the price to mount the Top Box :0018:


    I paid ~ 3300 euro for my Sh.

    Time to have my own topic :007:


    I wanted to replace my old and junky 125.


    Was looking closely into Nmax or PCX. I did not really want to pay more then for one of those two.


    In most of my checklist PCX won, but I just really hated rear drum (most of that was actually the brake lever feel) and only front ABS.


    I did not like the Nmax for it's pretty poor comfort, very small under seat storage - and man, these bulbs for blinkers : gruebelx:


    So then I kind of looked into Sh, since what I really needed is a city scooter.


    In the meantme I test drove quite a few 125's (Nmax, PCX, Forza, Xmax, Keeway Vieste) and of course one of the close competitors - Piaggio Medley.


    But Piaggio is much more expensive here in Poland, and the lack of keyelss is a no go for me.


    So I found a white Sh125i and negotiate a nice discount.


    Here it is just an hour after picking it up:

    And here a picutre from today (less then a month since pickup), with over 1500km on the clock:


    honda-board.de/index.php?attachment/160228/


    Today I have mounted:


    1. Isotta windscreen - bigger in size then Honda one

    2. Phone holder with inductive charging

    3. Heated grips

    4. Keyless top box

    5. Tucano Urbano


    Still waiting for handbars, they should be here in a couple of days.

    I haven't regretted it either.

    When I made my decision in my late 20s, I still had the XMax 125 with me.

    You can't hear or see anything from it but model year 21. I would have been interested in how the 12 hp compares ...

    Many greetings annyro

    I had a test drive of 2021 Xmax 125 today.


    Well, I think it's a better scooter for the city compared to Forza, but still bulky compared to Sh.


    But yeah, the power is really not there.


    Acceleration compared to Sh is just linear, no punch at all.


    I had issues reaching 110 km/h on the clock, compared to 120 km/h on the Forza (I'm tall and heavy).

    Are you guys short and low on weight? :D


    When I test drove the 2021 Forza it had over 1000km on the clock and on a straight road I could reach max 120 km/h according to the speedo. When it was downhill it was a little over that and I think I was hitting the rev limiter.

    I'm 192cm and I feel perfectly fine on SH125i, although I usually have 46 shoe :D


    As for the steering wheel - when you turn it all the way you don't really do it anytime with the legs on the foot rest I'd say. Just when crawling, so with the feet closer to the ground.

    So I have mounted the original windshield.


    At first it seemd quite ok, with normal driving position I was looking through the windshield, when I straigthen up it was looking above - so there shouldn't be any issues with rain.


    But depending on the wind I feel like it's just a bit too short. Still sometimes the wind hits my helmet and if I get my head just a bit lower it's much more pleasant.


    So I have ordered Isotta SC4527, I feel like this might be to tall - will experiment, maybe even with cutting it.


    Actually I'm not sure why are you guys talking about tools or issues with removing it.


    You just use your thumb where the arrow is and comes right out.

    I would advise everyone to test the emergency storage access and emergency startup with the code.


    If you can do it taking the time, you won't be nervous when you will be forced to do it :wink:
