The PCX seemed big and a bit ungainly around corners when I first got it. It was planted and was great in a straight line, but now that I've gotten used to the weight, it really makes sense. It's actually easier to throw into corners than my old scoot, though I have yet to drag the side stand or muffler (did that a few times on the Kymco).
Ran it around Lancaster tonight and blogged about it if anyone is interested to read.

Funny, it's always seemed tiny and zippy to me. All one's perspective, I guess.

2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

Re: Starting to make sense
My previous scoot was about 50 lbs lighter and more narrow. Comparatively, the PCX is gigantic.

I went from a Daytona 900 to a PCX.
It felt like a bicycle.

I went from an R75 Beemer with a huge, high-carried fuel tank to the PCX. Same rake and trail, WAY easier to handle all around.

Some Examples of Good bikes 2yous?
I like many, although I never owned more than 6 with three of them being at the very same time.
You went out with the Mrs. and no pics to share? Boo
B4 my PCX? A bulky and heavy Piaggio MP3 (though I admit, I loved the ride). PCX glides and floats (in a good way

Vision to PCX, for the first 20 or so miles, it felt like I had jumped on a Pan European, rapidly got used to her, closing on 4,000 miles since April!
