Honda PS125i

just smiling all the time, the engine is good and because its automatic on traffic lights you pull up instantly you can even beat the blades if you need to, the cars are way behind, the linked brakes are perfect and contrary to the MCN review the brakes bite is smooth and progressive if you need you can stop very fast like car not like regular bikes, I do 80 miles daily commute from South east to East London and back and it cost me about 6 pounds for 2 trips about 15 pounds weekly, you do the mpg math.

What an amazing bike . One of the best made bikes so reliable. Great speed great balance . 14 years old . I have o changed the oil after about 800 miles 2 filters . New tyres one exhaust its only had one pro service in 14 years . And has never let me down . Mirrors could be longer that is the only problem I found superb bike I absolutely love it . Top box a must get loads of shopping in it or helmet. Under seat box to small for full face helmet . But with top box that's no problem .

Had my PS for for four years, only covered 2500 miles as I use it with my motorhome but it's brill. Very brisk around town, 100 mpg, will do over 60mph two up and can handle two full face helmets with the top box. Nearly all my riding is two up and the large seat really helps to make it feel comfortable.

I service the bike myself and nothing has gone wrong, would have liked a side stand but it has everything else needed inc a fuel gauge and clock. Looks ok but would not suit a 17 year old as it's a practical machine. At 6 foot I find it very comfortable but can understand why shorter riders may feel it's to tall.

Highly recommended as a form of cheap reliable transport with Honda parts backup.

common fault with the ps125, the bike wants to stall and not run properly

just had mine replaced at the cost of £420.00 and the bike is only two and half years old 2011.

It is perfect A to B bike, lets face it gear shifting in town is a pain, and belt drive means no chain with messy oil, just enjoy the free ride.

I was thinking to get PCX, but PS125i has way better comfort, probably because I am 6 foot 16 stone, and other small scooters handles hit ny knees, this one is perfect, high seat, very good comfortable seat and suspension and the big tyres soaks potholes very well.

I bought the Honda PS 125i a few weeks ago, after more then 6 years on a Honda Silverwing 600.. I can't erase the smile from my face!

The sitting ON the bike and not IN the bike is very useful in urban environment, the weight is almost half of the Silverwing, and the filling in tough traffic is like a butterfly! It's light, fast, comfortable, and looks great!

For that price I would accept a rear disc brake, and a side jack.

At 1.89 meters and 14.5 stones you'd figure one would go for the Yamaha XMAX, Piaggio EVO7 or a Honda SilverWing. Yet, I went for the Honda PS 125. It's not a maxiscooter like the above forementioned- but its 130 kilograms dry - so the weight is substantial- it can knife through traffic magnificently- has nice power at the starts- and has a nice high and comfortable 800 mm seat.

Riding in Jerusalem is not for the feint at heart- its basically a zoo on the roads- and this baby can negotiate the urban chaos with the best of them. The fuel economy is excellent ( 30 kms/litre ), it has fine lines and a great look and strongly built.

I highly recommend this bike for its agility, fuel consumption, looks and stability. If you are thinking about getting a new bike, live in a crowded urban environment and are tallish - this is a wonderful bike

Purchased mine new in May 2011 , downsized from a Gsxr 600 ! Just wasn't using it enough . The scoot's so much more practical . Good points are mainly as written previous ;

Build quality

Reliability

Performance 60-65 comfortably .

80-90 mpg

Handling*

Clock & fuel guage

Full size scooter*

Re-sale value

Minor gripes ;

No side stand

Storage space. Can't get a fullface underseat. Though you can cable lock it

Mirrors need longer stalks .

*Hard suspension , may soften up with miles .

*Seat height . It's fine for me but try it for size .

All said and done well pleased with it . Don't go as far as i did on the Gsxr , 20 miles max but use it so much more .

Just got my Honda ps125i bought it second hand with 750 miles on the clock I spent hours reviewing different scooters but the Honda kept coming out on top . when the scooter arrived I was impressed buy the size of it the seat is quite wide the clocks are easy to read and with a built in clock which is great I have only owned the bike for three weeks it has plenty of power very easily keeps up with other traffic build quality is fantastic every thing put together very well fuel consumption excellent all in all a very good scooter Iam sure if you got one of these you would not be disappointed .

When bumbling around for a "Scoot" not "moped", see i'm educated now, It was a mine field. Bike for the knowledge was why. Looking at the chinese import market, as we all do at first, I read and researched till my eyeballs fell out. Chinese market ok but it has problems when coming to parts and quality issues too. There are some 10,000 chinese parts makers out there and it takes an importer with great knowledge to know which are the real deal. The Japanese market was more stable for me. How did it come to Honda? I was sitting in a dentist waiting room and picked up a national geographic. Near the back I saw photos of thailand, south korea and the likes. In these pictures were old men riding club 90's with upright piano's on the back. And others with cattle on Honda bars in driving rain and mud and I thought this is the one for me. As canbilised as they are they were still hondas and I've had my trusty bike since with no probs at all. I bought my psi cheaper back then new and can really understand why they have gone up in price. They've made another bench-mark bike to keep up with. No doubt i'll be seeing this bike in future mags in the year 2050 with robot parts being lugged around in the third world. Service worth it, you get your money back in bundles. £7.?? to fill. Your laughing. Enjoy, I am.
