  125cc Scooter of the Year shortlist (Article)
  Best of all, it’s an affordable scooter you can use and revel in all-year round. Running costs are very affordable thanks to a claimed average fuel economy of 133.9mpg, which we found was closer to 110mpg in the real world. That means a realistic range of around 170 miles per tank. You can also stash a large crash helmet under the flip-up seat of the PCX and still have a little room left over for a small amount of shopping.

  125cc Motorcycle of the Year shortlist (Article)

However, there are keen lease deals on offer and 189mpg combined fuel economy, plus a 200-mile-plus tank range. Being a Honda, it will also be  relentlessly reliable, easy to live with, cheap to service and carry on working when most other 125cc machines will have expired in a puff of smoke.

  How to buy a classic car (Article)

  Top 10: A2 motorbikes 2023 (Article)
  If we have to be sensible when recommending the 883, we’d argue it comes with a low seat height and vice-free handling that make it a superb first custom bike. It’s also got a larger fuel tank for 2019 to give a decent riding range. On top of this, the Superlow makes financial sense as it will hold its value tenaciously whenever you come to trade-in. KTM 390 Duke Price - £4699 Exceptionally light, the KTM 390 Duke is as nimble and as easy to manage as a 125cc bike, but with a whole lot more punch.
