    but they'll still have the Honda qualities regardless of where theyre made, can never see Honda letting theyre quality control make a nose dive!

    100% getting the red Honda PCX,
    and the website I found with the parts are so nice!!
    look alot better than the parts on ad-pedstop and pedparts etc,
    will be a little more though due to them being in Thailand but will be worth it.

    Will be getting a 2012 one though,
    seen a few 2012 with around 2000 miles on them,
    all good condition aswell, MOT not being until next year anyway.

    So yeah... Honda PCX instead of the Speedfight 3 :)

    Wow, emailed the Peugeot Scooter Website to ask for some explanation about what ScootzMadness said and this is the reply (ScootzMadness saying his experience with the 125cc)

    Hi Jodie,

    Wow, this guy seems to be a little vocal and not very technical about the Speedfight 125.
    As you know the Speedfight 125 was only launched in February this year, the general consensus is that customers are very happy with their scooter.

    We have had one out on test with an independent journalist who was also very positive about the scooter and will be giving his road test to various magazine to publish shortly.

    The statement that the guy makes about the air filter and ''oiling it up doesn't make sense, the maintenance manual states the air filter needs to checked and cleaned at 10,000kms or 2 years.

    The seat/ignition lock is the same that is used on a number of different models, without giving problems, indeed, if there was a problem then the customer should have taken it back to the dealer for replacement under the warranty system.

    There is nothing wrong with the wiring loom, why on earth would you even look at the wiring loom on a service, for someone to inspect the loom they would have to remove so many panels and then check with a meter etc....

    His test ride after the service he had done indicates that he may have used the wrong type of oil on the filter restricting the air flow which would make it slow.

    When the scooter is new, the engine is very tight and will only reach speeds of up to 55-60 mph, our test scooter has now covered around 1000 miles and will reach 70mph with an average weight rider.

    I could go on but, I think the best thing is for you to contact your local Peugeot dealership and ask for a test ride and come to your own conclusions, with the confidence and peace of mind that if you did decide to purchase a Peugeot scooter you will have the back up and support of a two year warranty for parts and labour if anything should go wrong.

    If you have any other question, please do not hesitate to ask

    Yours sincerely,
    Pete.

    Heres a thing, today I PDI'd 2 new bikes, a neos and a vclic. Lets start with the neos.
    Fill the battery
    Attach the mirrors fill with fuel and turn it off and on 3 times.
    Start it up and let it run through a program
    Now the vclic
    Fill the battery
    Grind the cdi down so it fits in the battery compartment, then force it in
    Fill with fuel
    Adjust the brake
    Fill with fuel
    Check the oil (ive known them to be very low)
    Turn the engine over for about 5 minutes before it will start
    Adjust the idle so it doesnt die everytime you stop
    Some also need the mixture screw adjusting, which is factory set (too lean to pass emmissions standards)
