New member from Thailand
Got this matte-black PCX150 few days ago. I named him Jake (Jake Sully from Avatar )
This photo taken on my lazy-sunday-ride today and I feel very happy with the seat compare to my previous honda wave S (125cc) - no back pain at all LOL
I drove 100 km at 80 km/h and its very windy today, I'm glade that I have no windshield installed, because I might ended up flew off the road and hurt my self by now

Welcome to the forums, Isan dweller! Take it easy and keep the rubber side on the road. Maha Sarakham, that's pretty close to Khon Kaen.
I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

Re: New member from Thailand
Welcome! And glad to have another Thailand resident on the forums.
I am seeing more and more of the matte black PCX's with red pin stripes around.

Re: New member from Thailand
I would love to visit Khon Kaen every week and see more pcxes (only found 1 pcx in my town this week)
And accessories for Jake is on the way, and I'll share the result and how-to in this forum because I'll modify her by myself :-)

Here in the US our choice of color is Red or Black. The white would be a nice choice but I really like your matte black. Makes it look like a mean machine.

Oh man, that is sweet. I love the US red that I have, but I'm a big fan of matte colors. Well done!

Re: New member from Thailand
Welcome and Sawasdee. It's really cool to see so many people from Thailand here. My mother is Thai so I go back to visit family near Nakhon Sawan every few years. I also have family that lives in Mae Sae in the North as well. Thailand is where I actually started riding scooters and is the reason I bought one here in Arizona where I live. I was already considering the PCX 150 before I found out it was made in Thailand - so extra bonus there.
I really love the matte black finish. Mine is the red model but I would love to have it painted. Did yours come like that from the factory or was it a custom paint job?
Anyway, best of luck to you! Maybe I'll see you scooting around Thailand next time I go back.

Re: New member from Thailand
Wow Steve, so many Thai in your story
I sure will go to the north of Thailand and have a long ride on my PCX someday, the scenarios is superb.
In Thailand we have 4 choice of colors, matte black is one of factory's default.

Wow; really nice color, nice accent pin-striping. With a name like 'Jake', though, you should be wearing a BRIGHT BLUE HELMET!!
Have fun!

Re: New member from Thailand
when I bought the bike I test rode a completely modded 125. I liked the low rise bars on it, so maybe that's where I'll start. I wanna change out the mirrors too, get something lower and more compact.kramnala58 wrote:Welcome Melonade. Do you plan to add anything to your PCX. Prices are great here in BKK.Melonade wrote:hey.

Re: New member from Thailand
I live in Udon Thani, nothing up here for modding unlike Bangkok. I too bought the Matt Black Edition, I love the red bits on it, will change the saddle and get rid of the hump. Have carbon fiber panels on the way, to replace the cheapo looking plastic parts. Another member of the PCX Club Udon Thani (Facebook group) and a Matt Black Edition owner is changing her inner panels to yellow.
My mate who owns Udon Thani's oldest Honda showroom, tells me the Matt Black is the biggest seller of the PCX.
