VocalNeal Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 So, if we take the same comparison up today, a year later, what's the consensus? My trusty AirBlade is over 5 years old and about time to consider a replacement. I'd buy another if one was available but as it's discontinued it's not an option. I've seen the new Click around and it looks like a good replacement, but i'd also consider the PCX 150, at least if there was a considerable power advantage. I live out in Nongprue so going into town on the motorway I'd be nice to be able to cruise in with 120 km/h. The Airblade does 95 km/h on a good day (indicated). Don't know about you but I consider "cruising" to be 80% or less of available top speed so to cruise at 120 you'll need a top speed of at least 150. That's 300cc range (Vespa/SYM 300GTS) if you are lucky as you'll need about 25 to 26-ish Hp for 150 top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cruising at 120 on a PCX, I usually ride around 90 to 100 when on the road 90 being a bit more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sorry, don't put to much weight on the word cruising, I just meant going into town using the motorway. Does anyone know of a comparison list between the two. I'm thinking about things like, top speed, fuel effiency, tank size, luggage compartments, price,... at least these are the things I'd personally be comparing. I do understand the PCS will be more comfortable due to it's size/weight, but it's a double edged sword, it also would make it somewhat less nimble in downtown traffic. I'll probably try to rent one of each for a couple of days to get a feel for what they're like driving, but for now I'm just checking the specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coocase Thailand Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Honda Pcx better. You add a little more money in exchange for good driving. I think it's worth it. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/659264-introducing-coocase-topcases-to-thailand/?p=6735862 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
