Hi! I am new to the forum, and just got my 2013 PCX150 about two weeks ago. I have named her Lucy. She had 550 miles on the clock when I got her. I will post a pic or two below.
Welcome to the Forum.
I've had my 2013 for a couple of months.
Mine had 2300 miles on it when I got it. Now it's over 5000.
Your's looks great!!
There's lots of great people on this forum and they are very helpful.
550 miles on a '13? Absolutely awesome! I feel sorta bad for whoever bought it and then had their scooter relationship go south, but... your gain!
Change the oil - think about having the valves checked (or doing it yourself - plenty of howtos here), and enjoy the new wheels.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

you you: I do also love the name Hannah, so maybe that will be the name for my full size motorcycle I hope to get next summer.
GeorgeSK: Lucy will be going in very soon to have her first service done, as we were able to verify that it was not done by the previous owner.
TheMaverick: I am not new to riding. In my younger years I owned an early 80's Kawasaki 550 LTD cruiser that was in show room condition that was owned by an older gentlemen. I ended up trading it for a car that had engine failure weeks later. I still feel like an idiot for agreeing to that trade. I have also spent a lot of time on 500cc-700cc crotch rockets and a 700cc cruiser that were owned by family and friends. Then I had a dry spell for about ten years and then last spring bought a brand new Honda Metropolitan 50cc. I rode it for most of the summer and then sold it to a college student, as I am a hefty guy and that little scooter did not like having me on its back. I then bought a 2005 Suzuki Burgman 400 touring scooter and immediately had $950 worth of work done, and then this summer another $600 worth of work done. Needless to say it is up for sale. So with the Burgman on its way out, I purchased my PCX 150. I was truly lucky to find Lucy in such good condition with such low miles.
Well, that's a little about me, I hope I answered all of your questions. If not, let me know! I'm happy to be a part of this community!

Great stuff. I always like to ask just so I can encourage new riders to start investing in some rider training, since we're something like 30 times more likely to die on our beloved beasts compared to cagers
I think you'll love the PCX - it's just so versatile whilst being economical - I think Honda really hit the sweet spot with this design. Wealth of knowledge here means you can do most of the maintenance yourself if you're so inclined (and save a bundle in the process).

Popular at parties are we
Again you you, if you can't contribute anything of value to my posts then please do us all a favour and put me on your ignore list. These frequent "hit and runs" are getting somewhat tedious.
By the way, I've got the same model (but in Gray). I used to find the hump in the seat somewhat uncomfortable - if you do too, then it simply unbolts from under the seat (but does leave a couple of rather unsightly holes in the vinyl) (but they can be covered with a vinyl repair kit for next to nothing) (some go the whole hog and have the seat reupholstered or replaced altogether).
