Hey guys, owned this bike from new (October 2018) but only getting round to posting pics now after a thorough quarantine clean!
Initially had to wait 3 months from placing the order until collection as they were in high demand throughout the UK. Had to be yellow as it is the same paint scheme as my first bike when I was 17 (1973 Honda CB125s, remember those?! And I’m only 30!)
Commuted on the bike for a few months as standard and just as she ticked 1000 miles the modifications began! Takegawa 181cc jug and piston, Yoshi Stage 2 cam, derestricted airbox with Takegawa filter, Honda PCX150 injector, lightweight oil spinner, uprated clutch and springs, Tyga Moto Maggot exhaust and to make it all work an A Racer mini 5 standalone ECU. Fitted a lambda boss to the exhaust and live mapped the bike with a AFR gauge to keep things safe. 4K miles later we are still running perfectly! Recently mapped pops and bangs into it which is like anti lag on the overrun which is a bit of craic!
Did nothing really cosmetically as I like it as is.
Averaging 130mpg and when I pulled the limiter up she put 90 on the speedo but with limiter back down tops out around 77 or so.
Build quality is ‘questionable’ at best with the Thai built Hondas no where near on par with Jap bikes, so regular cleaning and greasing essential.
Wouldn’t recommend these bikes if you are an introvert as it gets a fair amount of attention and photographs at petrol stations, in traffic and just parked up. Longest I was caught was over an hour at a petrol station as one person after the other came over to talk
Any questions or comments fire away!
