When picturing a European touring motorcycle, you would normally picture a Honda NT1100, a Goldwing, or another large capacity sports tourer.
A customer of ours had other Ideas!
Chris decided to travel Europe with his trusty Honda PCX and has given us an amazing review of its capabilities, as well as a couple of his favorite pictures from his travels through the Dolomites, the German Aps and Helskinki to name just a few of his destinations.
Chris saysÂ
“My chosen steed was my PCX125, a great bike for covering distance. It can hold a very nice steady 80kmph which is most back roads, it has an 8.1 litre tank, giving a range up to 240miles if you take it easy. 28 litres of storage under the seat gives you a lot of room for your gear, and with the back box for all my clothes it felt very safe leaving my gear on the bike for short periods of time. The foot board is quite long so foot placements can be varied and you can really wiggle around on the seat, which meant I could sometimes ride for three hours solid, and on the 8 hour days only needing to jump off for petrol or a toilet stop. The PCX125 also gets around 137mpg on longer trips which means fuel costs are significantly lower compared to a larger cc bike. Thereby reducing the cost of the trip and enabling me to spend the money on hotels instead”
Thank you Chris, we look forwards to seeing some more of your travels.
