Review on PCX150 that has some basic facts right

[khaosaming]

Here's a nice article with interesting information on the PCX 150.

Thus under full throttle acceleration it’s very fast up to the speed of 40 Km/h, (25 mph), fast up to 60 Km/h, (37 mph), relatively fast up to 80 Km/h, (50 mph), while the speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) is preserved even on slight uphill roads. The top indicated speed of 110 Km/h, (68 mph), rider alone, is achieved moderately. Its about the same with the top speed of the smaller 125 c.c. version, despite the power increase by 2 bhp.. The top speed is restricted by a really discreet speed limiter.

[...] The differences regarding performance between the two engine versions is evident, the larger capacity engine is punchier, which is not always necessary to all riders. This is in case of solely downtown use, or if rider has the notion that highway rides are easier now (if it is allowed to do so). An indicative average fuel consumption figure is 3 l/100 km ( 94 mpg Imperial).

[...] The PCX 125 was introduced in 2010. The 150 c.c. version was launched in 2012. Honda decided to keep both scooters on the market. Since 2012, the new improved engine eSP, (enhanced Smart Power) is featured on both versions.

Lots of good info there for someone looking for a PCX.

I think it's important to note that this version is not the one imported into the US. Anyone in the US reading the above review looking to buy a PCX in the USA should note they will have a bit less top speed, no idle stop, and some minor cosmetic differences (blinkers are on stalks) compared to the above. Still a helpful review though.

They mentioned that everyone should be able to flat-foot it due to the low seat height. It's actually not that low, I have an easier time flatfooting my Silverwing than my PCX.
