Re: 2019 PCX 150 - Top Speed - Huh?

My 2019 tops at about 65 MPH on level ground with no headwind. With a tailwind or downhill, the rev limiter won't let it go faster than 68 MPH.

Re: The New Honda ADV150 has arrived !

Pictured on Honda's powersports website is a Non-U.S. ADV150 Matte Black. That's the pic I posted. It shows "fingers" front and rear. My question's were for the U.S. model. Please post a link to the U.S. website you're referring to. Why would we go back to fingers? Even my 2015 PCX has in...

Will this Matte Black color be the U.S. flavor? The only color? Mid June it's said to arrive, We'll see. Our world pandemic is kicking...

Re: The New Honda ADV150 has arrived !

If I was in the US and thinking of a small scootery thing from Honda's range, right now the one that appeals most to me is the Cub. The Super Cub C125 ABS certainly offers a healthy dose of classic, retro styling and the larger wheels are less intimidated by small potholes, but it has no underseat ...

Re: The New Honda ADV150 has arrived !

That price is $1,000 higher than what I paid for my 2013 PCX 150 when I purchased it new off of the showroom floor. Ouch! Well, it does have ABS and disc brakes in the back, as well a good shocks and bigger tires...everything I could have asked for, and have. It is a beautiful scooter. The US ADV h...

Re: The New Honda ADV150 has arrived !

It's official. Honda announced the 2021 ADV150 for the US this week. It's scheduled to go on sale in June for $4,679 which is $300 more than a 2020 PCX150 with ABS. Mechanically, the extra $300 buys you another 1" - 1.5" of suspension travel. The under seat storage on the ADV is 1 liter le...

Re: I couldn't do it

I can so relate to this thread! Earlier this year, I bought a new Honda VFR800. It was more bike than I wanted, but I couldn't pass it up for the price. It was thrilling to ride, but didn't work very well for short trips to the grocery store or through neighborhoods. I decided to buy a used PCX, but...

Re: Oil and what Honda said regarding Forza 125

I'll personally continue to use exactly what the Owner's Manual says to use just like I have successfully done with every vehicle I've owned over the last few decades. I don't for one second believe that's an actual reply from Honda. Instead, I believe it's a fake generated by some keyboard warrior ...

Re: No more PCX updates?

There may not be a 2020 PCX. Sometimes, Honda skips a year. The Grom, for example, skipped the 2016 model year between 2014 and 2020. Also, the PCX is no longer sold in Canada. I am not even sure that there are that many, if any, of the #4 ones here in the United States. Cycletrader.com currently li...

Re: nooooo. Abs faulty.

I have got a loaner scooter mean time in red. It’s the first time I’ve taken one out on the road. They ride brilliant. Are th...

Re: 2018 PCX150 > 2019 Grom

My PCX is black and gray - they'd never find it on the pavement.

At least my Grom has some bright green pieces making it easier to find. :)

Re: 2018 PCX150 > 2019 Grom

At least here in Texas, a Grom shares the same requirements and privileges as any other motorcycle. The Grom is much bigger than a pocket bike, but it still makes the PCX look massive. The Grom's seat height is 30" - only one inch less than the seat height of my $13,000 VFR800F that weighs twic...

2018 PCX150 > 2019 Grom

A few months ago, I bought a new 2019 PCX150 and an almost-new 2018 PCX150. I had hoped to sell the 2018 to my brother, but he isn’t in a position to buy it anytime soon. I didn’t want two similar scooters, so I traded the 2018 for a new 2019 Grom yesterday. I got all my money back on the PCX and a ...

Re: Factory tires out of round on 2019 PCX

We'll never know. I explained the issue to the dealer and sent the videos. He explained the issue to Honda. I took the scooter to him and he verified the complaint. Honda instructed him to replace both tires under warranty. He did and now it's vibration-free. The original tires were mounted at the f...

Re: Factory tires out of round on 2019 PCX

I picked up the 2019 from the shop today after receiving new front and rear tires under warranty. The vibration is now gone and it's as smooth as the 2018. The verdict was that the original rear tire was improperly manufactured causing it to be slightly out of round.
