Re: Just need to say I'm blown away that people doubt and refuse to believe the 21 can hit 85mph

May the members of this forum be truly grateful for this constructive contribution to the discussion.
LOL. My 2022 goes 69 mph (indicated), WOT, downhill. There is no way anyone is hitting 85 mph on a PCX 150 without mods. My Vespa GTS300 didn't hit 85 mph.

Re: Do you feel comfortable taking your PCX 150 on the freeway?

Yes, but my 2022 PCX 150’s top speed is 65 - 69 mph (less than 111 kph) depending on the windscreen. Also, avoid steep hills on the freeway, or you’ll be down to 50 mph.

Re: PCX 160/125 Accessories and Modification

So far, I have only added a Givi tall screen. It’s great for wind protection, as I regularly ride below freezing (0 degrees Celsius) in winter. It’s good in the rain, too. Next is a better seat, I’m 6’2” (188 cm), so I need more legroom.

Re: Introduction and questions..l

Thank you… the never run it “at the same speed for more than 5 or 10 minutes” only applies to the “break-in period”, correct? Otherwise, my freeway riding is gonna need to be pretty slow at time….

Introduction and questions..l

Hi! I'm theschuman. I live in eastern Connecticut. In August, I purchased a brand new 2022 PCX150A. It’s my fourth scooter. My first scooter was a 2009 Yamaha Vino 125. My next two scooters were both Vespa GTS 300s. I am tired of being a Vespa mechanic, so I decided to get a Honda. Hopefully the PCX...

Re: Large enough?

I’m 6’2” with 32” inseam and 220lbs. I’m using the OEM seat. It’s not too bad, but I could use a little more legroom. I plan to get different seat or eliminate the “bump” at some point in the future. It’s pulling my 220lbs to about 65mph on the freeway.

Re: 2022 PCX 150A ?s

Thanks for the responses. Regarding freeway use… I drive my Vespa GTS 300 on the freeway regularly, so I’m used to getting pushed around, but the Vespa is 60 pounds heavier than the PCX. Can the PCX handle wide-open- throttle riding for extended periods of time (after the break-in period and initial...

2022 PCX 150A ?s

I’m new here and just bought a new 2022 PCX 150A. I have some questions and was hoping the forum members might be able to help out. 1. Are there any tall/heavier riders out there who have replaced the seat on a 2021/22 PCX? I’m 6’2” (188 cm) and the “bump” gets in the way when I try to move back? Al...
