I hate to bust everyone's bubble on Yamaha Elegances being thirstier than its competitors especially the Honda PCX Here's the real facts http://www.alphapro.com/Aprillooking11/pcxshootout.html Also.....whoever said in here that the PCX 125 cc. engine makes more horsepower than the Elegance's 135 c.c. engine, what makes you think so? Where are your facts? I've gone all over the internet searching for figures released by Honda for the PCX's horsepower and have come up empty, and when I've found figures from other sources they have run from a relatively anemic 10 horsepower (the Elegance makes 11.2 h.p.) to a figure matching the Elegance. I've noticed Honda likes to claim its Air Blade (before) and now its PCX has more power than the competition but it's been very silent about backing its claims up. No such problem with Yamaha however. All over the internet one could find the figure 8,9 h.p for its earlier Nouvo, the 115 c.c. MX and it's now the same thing with the Elegance...11.2 h.p. The last thing I've got to say is this....someone over at Thai Visa tested a handful of bikes with his GPS and found that the PCX had a top speed of 99 kph versus 109 for the Nouvo Elegance. Now.....think guys....doesn't that make a lot of sense....the Elegance weighs 40 to 50 pounds less than the PCX, it offers up 135 cc's to the PCX's 125, and Honda is reluctant to release its horsepower figures.

Couple things you forgot to add on your report that you wrote on the looking glass,Elegance is not comfortable for the passenger they have to keep there legs up higher which causes backache,pcx has a more natural sitting position,the pcx can use the greener fuels which are cheaper so the cost of your trip the pcx wins,not the same as you stated
