Re: 2015 PCX150 US

Mel, I have done extensive research on this matter, and, everything I can find shows the PCX150 to be legal in all 50 states for riding on the Interstate. Honda has cleverly sized the vehicle to comply with: minimum wheel size, passenger pegs, weight, headlight, horsepower, and top speed. But....bar...

Not yet, still waiting patiently. I on the other hand knew you'd get yours first, and am just thrilled for you!
Hmmm, never prayed for a bike - a novel thought...

Be safe.

Re: the motorcyclist Wave

I always wave to every two wheeler. The highest rate of non-reciprocation is the HD crowd, but I still wave. It's my way of saying: " if you are down I will stop and help you up - physically or mentally. If I can help with a repair, or go to get a part, I will. If I can wave off traffic to keep...

Re: 2015 PCX150 US

By strict interpretation of California's laws, the PCX is not even legal on the interstate, but, L.E.O.s must acquiesce enforcement from what I have seen. I've been told they are legal on the freeways here. The requirement used to be higher but was lowered to 150cc at one time. Is there something e...

Re: Another PCX 150 proud owner

For safe break-in: Just keep the front wheel on the ground for the first 600 miles.... After that, ride your PCX like you stole it! Put a knee down in every curve. Wheelie whenever it's safe. Two wheel drifting is fun when you get the hang of it. Blasting up empty mountain passes with beautiful scen...

Allow me to rephrase:
Copper conducts heat better than aluminum.
Aluminum dissipates heat better than copper.

Re: 2015 USA pcx 150 made in Vietnam

All metals conduct and disparate heat. Car radiators used to be made out of copper, aluminium is cheaper and lighter. Radiators are still made of copper/brass. Yes all metals conduct and disperse heat. Some more so than others. Manganese, of which my well water is overly abundant, is a metal, and a...

You have not assigned a country of origin in your profile Valiant, but if you are in the US why not open a new thread with that question. Someone overseas should already know the answer.
