I have an Honda SH150i, not a PCX, but that being said, the coldest I have ever ridden it is 80 Degrees Fahrenheit or 27 Degrees Celsius.

If I ride it much this winter, I might take it out in temperatures as low as 75 Degrees, but that is my limit. I do not go out of my way to ride on the ONE cold day we have when the rest of them are perfect :D

This week the coldest has been -3°C (27°F) which gives a windchill of -24°C (-12°F) when riding at 70mph.

One year we didn't get snow until late December, 13 degrees.

Kept riding in sub zero temps many times during the past few winters as they have not been too bad of late (south UK) - just a splattering here and there over a few days of snow and some icey patches. Bought the PCX to commute so use it as much as I can - sadly a few weeks in it started to look much dirtier than some in the US look after a few years :(

The past few days it's been really cold (not my hands - just normal gloves and those cheap ebay hand guards works wonders, this is 1-2am so about as cold as it can be each day - my chest feels colder and that's four layers deep!) but the trusty PCX and IRC's have not let me down or slipped once - can't say the same for my boots which many times, when slowing to a stop and putting my foot down has slipped badly - but not the tyres.

Only time I will not commute if if there is lots of deep snow or really bad ice - which we may have this year as it seems time for a bad or worse winter than the past few years.

I'm with Iceman - I commute every day unless it's snowing.
I've been down to -3C in the last week or so. Lowest I've been was a very cold winter in 2011(?) when it was down to -10C, although I was on a Kwak ER6N back then. I'm in northern England.

It is sort of an unfair question. Those who live in the U.K. have miserable weather most of the time, so those who ride there have nads of steel. If you compare them to a Florida rider you know who would win that comparison.

I have not ridden in the northern part of the U.S.A. but I am betting they ride in colder weather than those of us in the southern states. The coldest I have ever ridden in was in West Texas in the winter, with snow flurries blowing across the road at 15 mph. Never again. I thought that I would be blown across the road too, but I had to get home.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that those riders in the U.K. have ridden in that type of weather a lot more than I would.

Weather is not the problem here in London - about 1 in 3 now do not indicate at round-abouts or traffic lights, tail-gating (worse crime for bikers!) is rife - they can see there are lots of vehicles right in front of you and your going the speed limit, but they still get real close to you - so dangerous on 2 wheels, and then some pull out in front of you after watching you approach for some time.
Of all the road crimes - tail-gating is the worse kind of thing I face.

For me -12 deg C or about 10 deg F was the lowest I was riding in.
I use a thick winter jacket, a snowboarding glove and a tucano urbano for winterproofing.

A noisy exhaust keeps most tailgaters away from me. You can't do anything about professional pricks, though...

The coldest I've ridden in is maybe 7-9c?

Northumberland, England, gets down to -7C during winter often. I ride all year round, with a bit of preparation and good quality rider wear it's no problem!
