Yes. Worth it? Oh YES! In one word - smooth. Hugs the road (a bit heavy for the displacement..), it purrs not roars. Not too sure about the engine stop system though. While it recovers IMMEDIATELY from a stop, it seems a tad unnecessary. Read a lot of comments about the Modenas. Drove a Modenas Elegan for 3 weeks in KL in December. No comparison! It was like driving an old VW "Bug" from the 60's... IMHO Just got my Honda PCX two weeks ago. 2,100km on the odometer already :-) My comments: Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Oh YES! In one word – smooth.

The gas mileage would be about the same, but the power would be just about right. Then I could use it on my holidays through Europe too. I drive a Chinese scooter now (Chuanli..) that it totally crap. I didn't even in my wildest dreams have though that they sold products with so poor quality. After 3-4 days started an oil leak. After a week it started to rust. After two month a ball bearing in the drive system fall totally apart. After 4 month the CDI box stopped working - and two weeks later... the coil stopped working. Then the trigger sensor stopped working, and I had to wait 120 days to get a part. And now it's broken down again.. In other words... I'm going to sell this scooter as soon as I get it working again.. And buy a quality scooter. About 250-300cc. I will probably buy a Honda (good quality but don't look that good) or a Derbi Rambla 250 (quality?, looks good). I see that the new Honda that was presented here use only 50% of what my 50cc scooter use.. it goes about 13-16km pr liter of fuel. Modern cars use less than this..I have to mention that most of my driving is at max speed, because I use it to and from my job. But I used to have a Suzuki TS50X for 15 years doing just the same - but with no problems and a much better gas mileage. Why oh why can they not make a 250-300cc scooter with the same look.
