You know it's a good one when the important stuff like the engine and drive line outlasts the cosmetics. ;)

Plus who would want to steal it? Sometimes less is more. . .. :D

That is a "secret agent" scooter. If you know the code, and you enter it into the number pad correctly, it will turn into a PCX. :lol: :ugeek:

...or maybe that number pad is just instructions on how to start it.

Think its a safety label.
But a numberpad for accessing James Bond style secret gadgetry would be much more fun.

This had to be from that period when the Japanese were still reverse engineering everything.
Someone sent them a disassembled Westinghouse home dishwasher...with no instructions.

They added the tires and -- Bob's Your Uncle! -- Honda Powerappliances was born!

I seem to recall that Yamaha received a wringer washer. ...wich of course lead to their conveyance. ..think it was called the Morose (or should have been)

You have to be careful with that combination. 8-8-4 shoots out gumballs... or is it silly string?? Hard to read the instructions. :-)

You remember, "Phone Home?"

I wouldn’t do that. It might turn into a Sportster.

Thus the need for the instruction book. Turn these secret agents loose without one and who knows what combination they might press!
This looks like a bike agent double not not 7 1/2 might use.

Yes! Just ride that bike through a car wash, and Presto!, a new PCX will come out the other side! Best restoration ever!
(the number pad shorted out, and it went to its default setting.)
