PCX, noooooooooooooo question.

Interested to know along same lines versus PCX.... I've seen some folks riding fairly newish.. what looks like almost refrigerators on wheels.. really big scooters.. what are these and how much are they ??

OP,

If you liked the Fino (for 2), you'll do fine with the Airblade. At one time, the Airblade was top-of-the-line for Honda's automatics. It features underseat storage, handles well, and is pretty quick for a 110 cc machine. Most rentals should be recent enough feature fuel injection, meaning that you can put less expensive gasahol in it.

PCX is better for longer trips, perhaps, smoother and somewhat more powerful, but it's more bulky (and heavy) by comparison, which can be a tad more difficult in parking or threading through heavy traffic (if you're in town).. Because of its width, mirrors are wider and of greater use for seeing. The PCX is likely to cost 100 baht or more per day. It is however, v. good on fuel for such a large machine, and it probably will feel smoother on longer trips, less work to drive.

Have had Click, got Airblade and PCX. PCX is the Rolls Royce of scooters.

Thanks do you know any place in Phuket which will rent it at 100 baht a day as you mentioned??

Its more like B350 a day for a PCX .They cost near B80,000 to buy .

Sorry, I meant to write 100 baht more per day than an Airblade. Last time I was on the island I just settled for a 115 Nouvo MX and paid 200 baht per day for a week's time. Nobody anywhere rents anything for 100 baht, if it has a motor.

The PCX is much plusher than the other two (and even the scoopy-all four models between the inlaws and our house) but I keep reaching for the airblade keys when i need a scooter...

Some people don't like the seat on the PCX, esp' if they are tall. As you have already tried it and don't like it, you may be better off with an airblade. I have one and they drive great. You may also want to consider a Nouvo elegance.
