Hmm PCX not so popular in Italy

Post by TC3 »

After a week in southern Italy with a few nights on Amalfi coast I was surprised not to see one PCX out of the hundreds of scoots I did see. Honda SH300i was a popular model though. Would have thought the funky looking PCX was cool enough to be considered chic.

The SH has been Italy's top seller for years so naturally you will see lots of them.
The PCX is too slow to ever be top of the sales charts in Italy.
It was 12th in the first half of last year though.

Last year the wife and I vacationed in Rome.
Here are some random PCX stuff we picked through in 1 week.

The sticker I got from a local scooter rental place. They don't rent any PCX's.

I wanted to take a picture of scooter parking. Then I noticed the hump in my preview.

Beautiful color and an SH behind it. The SH has what appears to be a better seat the what we have.
