Just came back from a test drive of a PCX150. It went well but I could feel every bump in the road. Only time it felt at all comfortable was on a new road. I am just over 71Kg so not very heavy.
What are other peoples opinions on the PCX150 ride please?

Re: PCX150 Rear Suspension
I find the suspension stiff and feel all bumps in the road. The PCX is very light and if it was heavier, I believe the ride would be smoother if Honda upgraded the suspension for the hevier weight. I wish it had more low end power but not ready to change out the variator due to funds at the moment but will go with the NCY when I can. I can handle the suspension for now, but will be upgrading in the near future for more comfort.
I changed out my seat and that helped a lot. Nothing is perfect, but aftermarket upgrades should help for now.

Re: PCX150 Rear Suspension
Honda cars have never been known to be the most comfortable suspension wise. I had a 2006 Accord that sucked in that regard compared to American cars which generally aced that part.
Back to the PCX, yeah you feel the road for sure. Its not something I would ride 6 hrs on and not feel the road. On the other hand, you can count on it more than a Swiss watch. A bit of a trade off?

Re: PCX150 Rear Suspension
For lighter riders up to about 200lbs these work great. YSS G-Plus

Re: PCX150 Rear Suspension
It is ultimately a lightweight reasonable cheap scooter, thus it has fairly basic suspension but at least you can upgrade it.
