After 40 years of riding I sat on, and bought my very first scooter two years ago. I grabbed what might have been the last available 2022 Yamaha BWS125 (Zuma) in Canada, and boy did I have fun zipping around on that thing. It's a great little ride, zippy and nimble, if you know that you are only going to be riding within city limits, and maybe the occasional back road slow ride, otherwise just go right to a 300cc if you expect to be doing highway rides. I sold the Yamaha a year later when I found a killer deal on a 2018 PCX150 (the last year Honda brought it into Canada), and it was a much more refined ride than the Zuma, but still not highway capable (I'm 230lbs), so when I found a low mileage (396kms) 2016 Honda Forza 300 (again, last year Honda brought this scoot into Canada) I jumped on it, and have been running highways and back roads continuously. Don't be afraid to add a 'bar riser' to the scoots...raises the bar up and forward just a little or a lot according to your needs, and vastly improves comfort and control.

You know I have never really thought much of the flat floorboard. Not when I don't have it and not much when I do. But there was a few times where I did use it and I felt like the king. I wouldn't really consider that to be a selling point though. it is more a solution for poor planning than a useful feature. One actual advantage of the flat floorboard you mentioned is if your body doesn't work like it used to the Zuma is going to be easier to get into. The PCX is still good in this regard compared to other motorcycles. On the topic of the PCX's forward foot platform. I actually kind of wish they didn't have that plastic flared out. my feet don't really fit on those platforms because of the plastics.

Wonder if the Zuma cornering would improve with street tires.

i have the older 2019 zuma with the flat floor board which beats the honda no mans land floor area as stated. i carry bags and cargo all the time there/ also the zuma rear can be fitted with racks and i load up all the time. for riding zuma offers highway pegs to stretch out and that's huge for leg /knee comfort . also the saddle hump on honda bunches me up too much when i looked at dealership.

Not really much comparison really. The PCX 150 is far more comfortable and far more refined than the ZUMA. I own the PCX150 due to the ride and comfort...and a 125 is too small to travel the way I do.

I think with some modifications either one of them can be to anyone liking ... Because any of scooter has their pros and cons but with some thought and no how people can modify it the way they like it... Great video
