Re: Brand new 2015 or used 2013?

Though I don't have a PCX yet... :( from what I've read, the 2015 Honda PCX 150 has over the 2013: Illuminated ignition insert ring A 12 volt power outlet in the glove box Lower friction engine (Honda claims 103.5 MPG over the 2013 102 MPG) Lower rolling resistance tires LED lighting (headlight goes...

Re: Finally seen a PCX on the road!

Saw my first Piaggio MP3 this weekend in Richmond. The rider was chipper and happy to talk intelligently about the pros and cons of ownership. The scoot was fitted with full touring bags and looked immaculate.

Aarrrrgghhhhh! I want the 2015 PCX but.....may not have the strength to wait!

Re: Pcx Max tire size front and rear?

Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. Sounds like a fair trade-off and, you got what you wanted.
That 170cc kit looks interesting. And over my head. :)

Re: into the paint shop

I'll probably not make any friends by being honest but; while the red muffler sets off the rear nicely, it also aesthetically shortens the bike.

binje,
Perhaps you unknowingly dropped a stone to impress your new handlers. At our zoo they like their charges trim. 6kg could account for the .5% increase.
I don't know that the engine would so quickly become looser...

Re: I have Finally Solved the Tie down problem!

Like WhiteNoise, I bookmarked this thread. Great idea Mel! Hopefully, the 2015 will not vary too much.
Or better yet: perhaps the U.S. 2015 will come with bungee hooks!

Re: Pcx Max tire size front and rear?

You nailed it: your dealer was not telling the whole story. I think, ya gotta be old, been tricked before, ta not be tricked agin. Honda has a rebate on the 2013 PCX150 shown here . Our dealer is a real trusted fellow and has always been a straight shooter, but, he has that....gleam in his eye. You ...

Re: Pcx Max tire size front and rear?

Nice seat!
The stock seat is mainly why I have not bought the 2013 PCX150. So I'm waiting for the 2015. Even though my dealer gave me a pretty good price on the 2013 of $2995 plus tax / tag.

I suppose you are worried about excessive wear at high RPM, which should not be a concern with good care.
And the motor is more efficient at RPMs above moderate.

I called two dealers in the state. Both said they will not even take orders for the 2015 PCX150 until "sometime in July".
