QUOTE(MasterConfucion @ Nov 6 2022, 06:26 PM) Thanks! Any other recommendations for pcx competitor? So I can research more. How Bout other brands like Yamaha? Or pcx is considered the best in its class Lready? Both the PCX150 and ADV150 will soon to be replaced by the new 160. Both will be more than the 10k budget you stated. You could explore the NVX (has ABS) from Yamaha. Cheapest kapchai with a bigger underseat storage will be the Honda Future 125. Should fit an open face no problem. Smaller full face, maybe, depending on your head size. No point going with the Honda dash 125. The price only difference of 200rm....the Future is bigger.

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Nov 6 2022, 07:04 PM) One particular thing I dislike about scooters is that due to the smaller tires they use, tramlining is much more pronounced so when riding on some road irregularities, you might get caught off guard with your bike suddenly wanting to turn one side. Also scooters are less forgiving if you lock up your wheels, so make sure it has ABS. My knee and inky motorcycle crash is when I grabbed my front brakes too hard on my VS125 and crashed at 60kmh. QUOTE(BlackBananaV6 @ Nov 6 2022, 07:18 PM) True, tramlining is the reason I originally wanted to buy the heavily discounted NOS Piaggio Liberty 150. It has 15 inch wheel. But, I was scared by its maintenance costs and service supports as I am not located in Klang Valley. In the end it was Honda PCX (14") vs Yamaha NMax (13"). Honda SH 150i/300i  Step through maxi, 17" wheels front and back. Too bad it will never see the light of day here. Ironically, available in vietnam....sold for 120k VND. rm22k for the 150cc. Its pricy, but its made to compete with the Primavera in terms of pricing. I wouldn't mind this if they brought this in, especially with the 300 engine. While the forza has much bigger storage space (the SH has a much smaller trunk because the fuel tank is under the seat), the SH trumps it on handling and ride comfort due to the larger wheels. Have ridden it a few times, feels as close to a normal bike that a scooter can get, minus the CVT and brakes. This post has been edited by jaycee1: Nov 7 2022, 12:25 PM
