I did look and get a chance to sit on the CB300F and CBR300R. Nice bikes. . .they had the Yellow ones also. . .look great! The fitment was fine for me and I really liked the CBR especially but at the end of the day the PCX was what I felt I really needed and would best serve my needs.
The Blue PCX looked good too but I was hoping it was brighter. . .more noticeable in traffic. Standing in front of a line of scooters and other bikes the White one just popped out of the crowd better.
It will be delivered for free. . .and I was able to get the Honda discount at this time.
I was able to compare the seat on an older used one they had there with the "Hump" and the new PCX and can see the difference. On the new one there is still a noticeable (but hidden) "Step Up" to the pillion that kind of wraps around you but I think after I've been riding it a while the seat will start to wear in. I don't feel pressured or uncomfortable with it but could see how a taller person or someone with longer legs may wish for more space. That being said there was plenty of room on the leg drop to the floorboards. . .a feeling of sitting "On" the scooter rather than "Down Into" it. Some awareness of the handlebars is required on extremely slow tight turns but no turn signal lamps to get in the way.
IRC tires are stock on my 2017. No Smart Key. ..which I'd prefer. . .like it old school.
So thanks to everyone for sharing all their expertise and know how to maintain and get the most enjoyment out of the PCX150.
FWIW I did order the Honda Service Manual.
Somehow I feel like a legitimate member of the Forum now.
we let you think about that for a while
