    I have a 2013 PCX. Yes the seat is firm but on long trips it is amazingly comfortable. I have taken three four hour rides and have had zero fatigue at the end.
  • THE HONEST FEED BACK , FROM THE BOTH OF YOU MEN MADE FOR AN EXELLENT REVIEW . KEEP IT UP ! UDEN UDEN
  • @modemlooper
    I’ve owned many scooters and the PCX is one of the best you can get for the money.

    I just purchased a 2022 Honda ADV 150. I’m impressed how it can pickup speed on a incline going 35 mph.πŸ‘

    I had two CT70 Mini Trails one was a 1971 the other 1973 both four speed manuals. Fun little bikes , we hauled our kids everywhere around town.πŸ‘πŸ˜€

    Riding in shorts is a bad idea. But, video was entertaining.
  • @carlosv.7970
    great review awesome personality the type that makes you want to go hang out with you guys, like we know you for years lol I'm trying to get a small bike or scooter for my wife I want her to feel the joy of riding on 2 wheels
  • @markryan3124
    Great video! Buying a PCX next spring after we get through another Midwest winter. Keep the PCX videos coming.
  • @vidaloca3354
    I just bought a 2013 pcx and I LOVE IT ❀️ 😍! She had 740 miles on her. Absolutely perfect looks like she just came off the showroom floor. Mine is the black one. She matches my car.
  • @davidaearthy
    Great comparison and review. Shame about the lack of safety gear. Always best to get some before the skin grafts.
  • @bobsmithers
    Been riding for many years, but when I'm old a feeble I will trade my monkey in for a twist and go and stay on flat surfaces. ;)
  • @todddavis240
    The 2022 Monkey is improved and is better, I have a new Black and still breaking it in. So, losing weight and working towards top speed+ out of this Black and silver and chrome beautiful machine.......you need to see the black one, thanks for the review. Buyer beware, if you have to take roads that are 70+ and wrestle semi trucks, then a mini moto is not the way to go. Unless feeling totally vulnerable is your thing Lol I love it, but I wish I bought something bigger :(
  • @davidlemay4761
    I’m giving peak Honda and fey Meyers Honda and performance cycle of Colorado an excellent service rating!πŸ˜…
  • @gregnixon1296
    6:05 That car needed a brick through its passenger window as a thank you.
  • @gardini100
    the best about the Monkey it makes you drive like a kid again, and it looks fantastic and handles just like any mc, but smaller, and I think it sounds okay even at stock, it sounds like an MC a small one but it just perfect for the size, but I understand why people might like the PCX better, but for me, it was no option :)
  • @buffering7612
    Genuine hooligan 170i is a nice mix Reliable easy too get parts Made very well in Taiwan Almost hits 70mph stock
  • I have a Honda Monkey for pure fun. The advantage of the PCX is that it can carry a pillion and has storage space under the seat and more protection in the rain. However for an everyday scooter would buy a Honda Wave 125 or a Honda Scoopy 110.
