Honda PCX125 vs. Sym Joyride 125
From a riding point of view the Sym Joyride is the one to go
for, its one of those scooters that just glides around corners.
Its very comfortable and has great weather protection too. Like
the Honda, the Joyride also has a fuel injected liquid cooled
engine, no idle-stop though and its a bit thirstier than the
PCX. One significant disadvantage is the price, the days of
Taiwanese scooters being cheaper than the Japanese and European
rivals seems to be a thing of the past. The price may have risen
but so have the levels of quality, finish and reliability. Made
in Taiwan is no longer a joke.
However, the Honda has idle-stop technology, is very frugal, and costs almost £400 less than the Sym. Thats a big saving on a 125cc scooter, especially when you're getting Honda peace of mind too. For those reasons, wed choose the Honda PCX125; its a close call and if the price was a match or we were likely to do some longer distances the Sym would have potentially won this duel.
