Just got new, right out of box 2025 PCX160

[john grinsel]

I am 86, everyday rider since 1955, million plus miles, do not have car---I have assembled tool kit, to include 24mm socket for rear wheel removal and 12mm extend socket for exhaust removal. 2025 PCX 160 for us market made in Viet Nam---quality looks good so far, recent years Hondas for me made in Thailand----AND my PCX came with Key not the electronic crap some other models of Honda come with!

I have about 400,000 miles experience with rubber band drive scooters----only one eaten belt in 400,000 miles----Helix with belt near end of service life...But Helix belt could be changed by only sqeezing rear clutch and working belt in and out. I always carry new OEM belt as I hate walking or waiting---best for me, Suzuki, Daileim, Kymco---I use Honda recommended 15,000 miles or so interval---works for me.

One other thing as you get older never ride anything you cannot pick up. US market, neither National cycle or Puig have current windshield for this bike----I have made small mirror mount Puig Traffic shield from my junk box----am going to ride it today to see if works.

Welcome. I'm and old coot who's been riding for over 50 years, but at 71 years aged, I'm still a pup compared to you. Congratulations on staying vertical.
The 2025 PCX is my first scooter after riding touring and sportbikes. It's been a hoot. I'm really pleased with it.
National Cycle's customer service/sales team actually thought their 2024 windscreen for the PCX would transfer and fit the 2025 model.
So, I purchased one, found out the install wouldn't work, returned for reimbursement, and I'm now on their mailing list to be notified when they do get one ready. I suspect that will be shortly after Honda begins to list 'accessories' available for the 2025 model. As of now, they have none.

I am aware of 2025 pcx windshield mounts different--I awaiting e mail from Puig on when correct shield for 2025 will be available----for the time being made up mirror mount Puig Traffic (from junk box)=ok but not what I need long term-----same time changed mirrors to CB-750 round-----long stems, too to see around shoulder s in winter riding gear.

Todays project....getting rear bracket for top box to work/fit-----again from parts I already have.

spent time working on getting rear mount for top box to work for parts I had on hand= no work. Getting hand rail plastic off takes some trying to not break anything----looked at on line videos=worked, nothing busted. I have 55 liter top box, too ...I can make that work with stuff I have on hand, but I feel it may be too much weight too high-----earlier I tried smaller box and its hardware=box small and light enough but hardware would not work----this box I think as my dog can ride in it---worked for him as far as Nova Scotia and later Alaska!.

Not high priority but think II can made to work with Shad or Givi rack/supports. Right now underseat storage fine and or my Ortleib rubber bags behind me- 2025 pcx 160 has easy to use glove box for water, etc. nice arrangement!
