i am a new member here, live in nashville TN. was wanting a scooter really bad and looking at all the ones out there and decided i wanted a good brand name scooter no chinese junk so i did some research and watched several youtube videos and started to really love the pcx. finding this forum was a large part of my decision in going for a pcx. Finally after applying for financing ( i have really bad credit) the honda shop financed me at 217 a month for 24 months i can live with that. i just payed my down payment today and they said it should arrive from the wharehouse this week. cant wait! i'll post pics in the gallery as soon as i get it. its candy apple red
Oh yeah im 5'11 240 pounds hope it moves good enough for me hehe
Im getting a pcx150 cant wait!

Re: Im getting a pcx150 cant wait!
Congrats on your new PCX!
You should be fine -- me + my wife + our dog ride 3-up sometimes, totalling just over 340lbs including gear. My PCX 125 still will do 45+mph up the gradual hills we have here with that kind of load. The suspension isn't too happy, but the suspension's a bit hard even 1-up.
If anything, your height will cause some issue. You might have to remove the hump if you don't have enough legroom.
