Nice new PCX
Hi all, I traded in a very tired old Yamaha BWS50 and came away with a brand new PCX instead.
It was delivered to my house, but the next day I was off on a biking trip to the Alps on one of my bigger bikes. Anyway, on my return, the PCX was swiftly insured and taken for a test run.
What can I say, it was smooth, frugal, and incredibly quiet after riding a two stroke scooter to and from work for the past few years. I love it!
I added a top box rack sourced from ebay for carrying work stuff, and since added a low givi screen for added wind protection. It now has the look of a mini-burgman.

Looks good!
Any particular brand on the top box rack? Was it easy to install?
You'll appreciate the ease of use and economy with it.

Re: Nice new PCX
Bigbear, it's not the very latest model with abs and all digital clocks, it's the last of the 2014-2017 models that were being sold off cheaply before the new stock came in.
Pcx150rider, not sure about the make of the top box rack, it came loose in a jiffy bag. It's simple to fit though, just remove the grabrail cover from the rear and the fixing points are underneath.

Re: Nice new PCX
So, is it a 2018 or a 2017? I really don't think there was much difference between those two years, aside from color choices. I understand that the 2019 version has all the new changes. For aftermarket parts availability, I would go for the older rather than the newer model year.

Re: Nice new PCX
The new 2018 model will be available in the UK any time now. Mine is the last of the 2014-2017 models, but registered this year on a 2018 plate.
Here in the UK the plate displays the year of registration, so you can tell at a glance how old a vehicle is.

Re: Nice new PCX
I called into my local [UK] Dealership Thursday - June 28 - and was pleased to see a row of the new model PCX. I looked at the first in the row - Matte Grey, ABS, looked fine, but not my favourite. Next was a White - ABS, all good, third was a Black, ABS and, as with the others, clearly priced at £2,899, the price unchanged from previously. The fourth was a Red .... no ABS but still priced at £2899, the fifth the same. The point I'm making is that those latter two were the 'old' model - and I was so interested in looking for the ABS logo that I hadn't noticed the most obvious feature - the headlights.Martin J wrote:The new 2018 model will be available in the UK any time now.
No doubt the ticket price would be very negotiable on the 2017/18 models.

Old only in terms of registration not age of vehicle.
