2013 pcx150 verses 2015 pcx150

Post by riding@100mpg »

little over a year ago I got rid of a 2015 pcx150. missed it so much I found a used 2013 pcx150 with 2600 miles in great shape for 1500.00 so I bought it. it seems like the 2013 is faster than the 2015, is this true? not by much but I think I can tell. the 2013 will go over 65mph where the 2015 stopped at 62mph.

Yes, the 2013 model is the fastest PCX 150 Honda made. It has different gearing. Adding the NCY variator and drive face will boost its top end so that it can do 75 mph, as long as the belt has less than 5,000 miles on it. It is much easier to reach that speed than on the others. Mine does not hit the limiter until around 76+ mph.

Also, the windshield is different and it is possible that it may not be offered much longer, so if you plan on buying one I would start looking soon. The Givi tall one is D323dt. The mid high one is 322S or ST.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150

Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires
Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs
NCY variator, drive face, and rollers

thank you for all your help, really liking the 2013 pcx. the givi windshield is not being made but still available. I am also considering the national cycle extra tall that's available to. really appreciate your experience with these scooters, haven't checked the fuel mileage of the 2013 verses the 2015 yet. I've only been able to put on a little over a hundred miles since last week.

Little scoot isn't getting the miles that he did before now that I'm not working regularly. A bit sad about that, but Forza is getting some road time with the two of us aboard. Life changes - got to go with it.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

like the forza also. if I didn't already have 5 motorcycles I could use one of those. the pcx150 works for me, love the mpg and the handling in the corners on the back roads. great fun for me. I have motorcycles for longer trips
