I don't think there's any point in me continuing.

If the belt is the only thing in a CVT that wears, you are laughing, crack on.

Personally, I chose the S-wing 125 over the PCX so that I didn't have to suffer that level of speed loss and hassle.

Lot of after market variator consumables for that engine as well but agree prefer S wing .

Yet you seem unable to stop.
As evidenced by what comes next.

Has anyone made such a claim in this thread?
Or are the voices in your head playing up again?

You opened the airfilter box of your S-wing in early April 2010, was this on the day you bought it?
The PCX went into production in November 2009 and didn't go on sale in the UK till Q2 of 2010 never mind get up to 10,000 miles.

I picked my S-Wing before the PCX came out
I then went on to pick an S-wing over a PCX on 3 different occasions

Once when I wanted to change that S-wing and the PCX was in production and two other occasions when buying for family.

Wind your neck in

Forza 125 looks good but would pay that much .If S wing comes up under a grand might take a punt once Vespa sold .

The S-Wing is really long lived for a 125 thanks to good design and good materials.

The down side for buying on a budget is that they hold their price more - for exactly those reasons.

I'm hoping new forza 125 will bring used S wing prices down .

I hadn't thought of that,
they are more in the same kind of league as each other
