You know it's a good one when the important stuff like the engine and drive line outlasts the cosmetics.
Plus who would want to steal it? Sometimes less is more. . ..

Re: Saw this beauty
That is a "secret agent" scooter. If you know the code, and you enter it into the number pad correctly, it will turn into a PCX.
...or maybe that number pad is just instructions on how to start it.

Think its a safety label.you you wrote:Is that a numberpad under the bars
But a numberpad for accessing James Bond style secret gadgetry would be much more fun.

Re: Saw this beauty
This had to be from that period when the Japanese were still reverse engineering everything.
Someone sent them a disassembled Westinghouse home dishwasher...with no instructions.
They added the tires and -- Bob's Your Uncle! -- Honda Powerappliances was born!
I seem to recall that Yamaha received a wringer washer. ...wich of course lead to their conveyance. ..think it was called the Morose (or should have been)

Re: Saw this beauty
You have to be careful with that combination. 8-8-4 shoots out gumballs... or is it silly string?? Hard to read the instructions. :-)

Re: Saw this beauty
Ya'll are crackin' me up!
But Wait!
That Is a Number Pad!
I've looked closer, that's a dirty scoot used in an *ousted scene from E.T. (well, minus the basket)
You remember, "Phone Home?"
*chose a bicycle instead

I wouldn’t do that. It might turn into a Sportster.

Re: Saw this beauty
Thus the need for the instruction book. Turn these secret agents loose without one and who knows what combination they might press!you you wrote:gn2 wrote:That would be combination key press 8-8-3dgnyberg wrote:I wonder which button lays down the oil slick??

This looks like a bike agent double not not 7 1/2 might use.

Re: Saw this beauty
Yes! Just ride that bike through a car wash, and Presto!, a new PCX will come out the other side! Best restoration ever!
(the number pad shorted out, and it went to its default setting.)
