Re: 2014 Honda PCX

It's not - we're ripped off in the UK for everything, the new 2014 PCX is much cheaper in Europe than it is here (euro price posted on this forum some weeks back). The same as something being $200, and when it was $1.5 to the £, we paid £200! There is supposed to be competition, but with bikes/scoo...

security for PCX

Ok, so I'm showing my ignorance here but I've been searching for a good disc for the PCX (not bought yet) and seaches mostly show the XENA XZZ6-Y 6MM or the XENA XX6 6MM, both have similar specs although the later is twice the price, not sure why or what the difference is. However, are these good an...

Re: 2014 Honda PCX

As to service manuals, two dealers have quoted, and emailed me 'Honda don’t do service books any more as it’s all done on line via our dealer extranet portal but all the basic service info is in the handbook'. Not sure this is %100 and it may only be the UK, but I had hoped to get a service manual f...

Re: 2014 PCX 125 White vs Matte Black

We don't seem to be offered the Matt Black PCX (2014) in the UK, and the gloss black is the same as the others for other bits, just the panels different (from two dealers showing available colours). We do get matte black in the UK. This year we have four colours and they are: white, gloss black, ma...

Re: 2014 Honda PCX

HGB Motorcycles (Ruislip, London) just advised they have two new models arriving this week, one of which is a white one - they class these as 2015 models! I just need to get my locks and jacket sorted before I get the bike :)

Re: 2014 PCX 125 White vs Matte Black

I love my 2014 PCX. I have the Matt white and finding harder to keep clean than I anticipated. Any dirt in the crevices around the seat will show up easily compared to my gloss bronze one from 2010. Not too fussed about colour, but I'd probably go with gloss next time. I believe the only white offe...

Re: Starting problem-requires rear brake to squeeze hard

Where's the ignition (brake operated) switch located? By the break lever itself or some distant part of the cable assembly?

Re: 2015 HONDA PCX 150

I would love the new dash! The larger tank would be nice, too. But I'm not touching either of them – not mechanically inclined enough. I already added a nice little analog clock, and a spare portable fuel tank which will get me another 30-40 miles past the reserve if needed. < one good thing about ...

Re: if 2 wheels on your scooter aren't enough.....

The advantage in the UK is that you can ride them on a full car driving licence (no CBT needed), they are very stable and I believe you can take them on the motorway - which you cannot do on a CBT and not having passed 'the full licence' which costs anywhere up to and around £600 and needs to be tak...

Re: First ride of the summer (?) picture

Seeing that wet gravel, reminds me of one of my colleauges who just came off his Piaggio scooter whilst doing 10mph in the middle 'gravel' lane around cars! He's driven safely for 10 months now, but his wheels slipped on gravel at slow speed and he fell over - broke the mirrors and the handle bar go...

Re: New White PCX 150

Am I mistaken, or is the glovebox on the left dash now white instead of black? The 2013 PCX had the black plastic glovebox...but in these pics, the dash looks all white now. Glove box now matches the paint job. it's bigger and has a downward slope so I can fit a smartphone easily. I like the fact I...
