I hope you like Matte Brown Metallic, because that's the only color for US.

I'm glad I got my white one. I don't like Matte Brown Metallic

I see that the linked article said the clutch type was “Wet, multiplate slipper/assist”, which is obviously incorrect. When I see inaccuracies such as that it makes me question the rest of the article.

That was the first thing I noticed. Start to lose credibility.

I really don't like the different size tires, don't understand why they did that.

Yep, I have the 2023 in brown. Honestly, it's downright ugly, but it's what I could get locally, so that's that.

And yeah, the front in particular is a HUGE pain to find in the US. Pretty much nobody ever has them in stock. So most people seem to go with the 120 width instead of the stock 110 when replacing it, which gets quite tight under the fender.

Wow, weird how that the U.S. model has rear drum brakes. I don't yet have the PCX, however, I am considering it. Here in South America, it comes with disk brakes in the front and rear wheels for 2024. It's also available in 3 colors, white blue and metallic silver.

We've wondered the same thing. My guess is Honda's trying to keep the MSRP cost as low as possible for a US market that has traditionally been leery of buying a bike as affordable, efficient and practical as the PCX.
Bigger, faster, more expensive... The American Way... and mentality.

Another weird thing is that the US models don't have the hazard light button that the other markets get.

Non-USA models seem to have more features and have had for a while. I am considering building a 4-way flasher system for mine. My Harley's have it and it is nice to have the visibility if you are pulled off the road on the shoulder or heavy rain and low visibility situations.
