My experience with modern Piaggio products is that they are very reliable. Best looker of this lot by far, quality, flat floor, sharp handling but a little costly for a carby 125 with the older Leader engine.
the Honda PCX 150 - looks quite stylish and presumably being a Honda is a quality machine, also has 14" wheels and supposedly awesome economy, but is a bit more expensive (although appears to be on sale at the moment).
Superb engine with astonishing fuel economy considering it's capable of 120+k. Backrest on seat can be annoying as can the lack of a flat floor. Styling is an acquired taste IMO.
