Good Points: Total reliability. Good ergonomics. No vices.
Bad Points: None so far.
General comments: I've been riding the Honda Pantheon for nearly two years and although I don't do a big mileage, it does everything I want it to do. It was marketed as an 'executive' scooter and emphasis was put on the details such as phone charging socket and light under the seat, loads of storage room for brief case etc., and cubby holes. Basically, it has all these things, plus it has been a totally reliable and easy machine to ride. And fun! I've owned Honda CBF1000's, Yam MT-01 and Benelli Tre-K Amazonas, using the Pantheon as a back up and for shopping - and yet it is the only one of the lot that I have never had a bad or nasty moment on.
If there were any criticism, it would be the tendency for surface corrosion to go on around the rear suspension and other areas underneath, even though I never ride it in the winter. Highly recommended!

I have had the Pantheon for nearly 12 months having owned a Piaggio Skipper previously. There's no comparison. The Pantheon is responsive, solid, has loads of luggage space, can weave through gridlocked traffic and, compared to public transport in Bristol, is efficient and much much cheaper. I can thoroughly recommend it and if, like me, you're 5'4" then being able to place your feet firmly on the ground at lights is great. The bike is out in all weather and I'm not experiencing the problems wi ...

My second bike, got so fed up sitting in traffic I bought a second hand 50cc to see how I got on,
Loved the freedom, but 50's are a nightmare.
Took my CBT looked at the reviews and decided on the PANTHEON.
Liked the look of it in the mags, quite a bit cheaper than the alternatives.
I know I haven't had much experience on two wheels, but I'm glad I chose the FES, can't think of anything else I would rather ride.
My intention was to get a scooter for work, and use the car for other travel. ...

I have been riding Honda Lead 100cc for 9 month and wanted to get a larger machine with disk brakes because the Lead has both drum brakes and I was not happy with the braking. Besides, I am planning to carry a pillion and wanted to ensure that a pillion would have comfortabe sit too. I could not choose what bike to get- Burgman 125 or the Pantheon 125 but when a guy was selling his low milege 2004 Pantheon I made up my mind. I expected it to be bigger then the Lead but when I saw it (I am a lady ...

I bought the Honda FES125 Pantheon to replace a Peugeot Elyseo 100 which had given me 4 years and 50,000 km of service. My immediate impressions were of the sheer size and weight of the scooter compared to the Peugeot. Once run in I surprised by the performance of the engine. It will cruise all day at 60mph and will hit 70mph on the level. However, above 60mph you do notice a considerable increase in engine vibration. Fuel economy is good, averaging in the high 80's for my short commute to ...

This Honda FES125 Pantheon is my first two wheeled vehicle of any kind. I thought long and hard before taking the plunge and I'm pretty sure I made a good choice. Fuel consumption seems to be around 22 miles/litre max, around 100 miles to the gallon! This is based on a 35 mile daily round trip, half of which is country. Not bad! Especially as the dealer made no claims beyond 70 mpg. I'll have to feed back the happy news. Had it not been quite so good I would have been complaining about the size ...

Fantastic scooter. I bought the Honda FES125 Pantheon as a first time bike rider, to give a quick, cheap and reliable way into work. And it does that without any trouble at all.

The Honda FES125 Pantheon is a good scooter, but needs a bit more get up and go. It would be good if it did 70mph, but it's good on fuel.

After 25 years of not riding a bike it was back in the saddle again. This was mainly prompted by a fear of using the London tube following 7/7. Hence I needed a bike that could commute into town (approx 12 miles one way) amidst heavy traffic on a daily basis and in all weathers. My heart wanted a 600, my head said don't be stupid - a scooter would suffice as I probably would not use it apart from commuting.
I'd always had Hondas when I was younger and my local dealer had the brand I'd grown ...

THE HONDA FES125 PANTHEON SCOOTER, aptly named realy is up there with the most important and best!
THE ENGINE is a lovely 125cc single cylinder, 4 stroke power unit fed by an ultra modern PGM 'Progressive Management Fuel Injection system'. This delivers optimum power through out the power train. Translated to a very zippy vehicle in town traffic without the flighty feel of other scooters I've ridden.
LOW SPEED CONTROL and balance of this machine realy has to be experienced to be believed. ...
