New Owners from Ohio

Post by strkngfang »

My wife and I are new PCX owners and loving them. She has a 2013 PCX150 & mine is a 2011 model. She loves the black and I always favored the white. I've had just about every size of Honda scoot, from the Elite 110 to the Silverwing 600 and love Honda scoots, but with the type of travel I do, the 125-150cc seems to be my "sweet spot". I always loved the looks of a "maxi scoot" and the PCX looks like a mini Reflex or Silverwing. Looking forward to a lot of fun riding years.

Welcome! WoW, you have pretty decent mileage on your scooter, and considering it's a 2011, I can only imagine that a 2013 will have even better. :)

We have a 2013 PCX 150 and a Burgman 400. We ride not only around our neighborhood but we take long rides to the mountains. The 150 leads the way. It has no problem. We travel at 55 to 60 mph. The little PCX doesn't even hesitate. It is such a versatile little scooter. We love it. If it wasn't for the seat problem it would be our only scooter. I bought another seat from Powerbypcx.com which is nice looking but my wife says is still just a little short. She wanted a backrest of some sort so the one we purchased is different from the standard one. The way the scooter frame turns up at a certain point prevents the seat back from going back any further without the rider being higher from the ground. As it is my wife has to wear tall soled boots in order to reach the ground, so moving the seat back further would make it impossible for her to ride. Soooo we just deal with it and ride. She loves that scooter! Mine sounds like a sewing machine as apposed to hers. We can't even hear it when it starts.

Wife and I have a pair of PCX 150s... it eliminates the problem with: "No, I want to ride the PCX this time!" ;)
