2015 white PCS
Saw my first PCX at my dealership today while buying Honda oil and shopping some good gauntlet gloves (fellow Kymco rider may have ended his riding days - going down and shredding his gloveless hands...made me rethink the quality of my riding gloves)
Sat on this pretty scooter. I see why folks like the white. Light weight and looks very well made. Sadly, even with the new seat it remains a little snug for me. No Forza on the floor... but they now have the PCX! Seems a fine little scooter .... I see why it has such a rabid worldwide following!

Re: 2015 white PCS
It is odd to me that something like the saddle could be the source of such controversy. There is a noticeable lack of comfort after just a few miles. At first I was willing to give it time, acclimate like with any new bicycle seat. But the urge to move back on it further than it will allow, stand up at the stop lights and make adjustments to the shorts or just get off after 40-50 miles because you are done. Maybe next year they put a really comfortable motorcycle seat on what is clearly starting to mimic more cycle than scooter. Not complaining, if seat is all I can take issue with I should look into aftermarket product when some 2015 accessories are more readily available.
Re: 2015 white PCS
My feeling is it was designed for a very small person.
Re: 2015 white PCS
Yes, designed for the 90% who buy scooters. And that is not a N.American.
I hear this complaint from a whole lot of people who are riding scooters in the States.
Kymco sells a great scoot that has a 20 minute seat on it.......but Asian riders love the thing and never complain about it.
Well, we can always get it rebuilt over the winter.

My brother has a Kymco Agility 125. A Honda it is not despite Honda's seats. The Kymco drinks a lot of gas with the carb.

Re: 2015 white PCS
I must be in the minority wishing the PCX was smaller, at least width wise.

Re: 2015 white PCS
A narrower PCX with a taller (including more foam) seat would be great! I can't wait to modify mine to improve its comfort
It's a pity that motorcycle manufacturers design their vehicles with a short driver in mind... I hate it (I'm tall) but I admit that from their economics perspective it's the logical thing, because a tall driver can drive (uncomfortably) a scooter/motorcycle designed for small people, but a small driver CANNOT DRIVE a scooter or motorbike made for tall drivers, as he/she wouldn't be able to...

Re: 2015 white PCS
Wasn't thrilled with the seat on my PCX ,luckily I work for a company that does custom auto interiors, so I had my bud re configure the seat to My spec's with a custom checkered flag diamond tuck vinyl. This is easier than you would think and cheaper than buying a whole new seat. Pic's of CASPER to be posted later when I'm finished with my own personal touches!!!

I think a lot of this is easier then we think... I look forward to seeing all your personal touches.GlassMan wrote:Wasn't thrilled with the seat on my PCX ,luckily I work for a company that does custom auto interiors, so I had my bud re configure the seat to My spec's with a custom checkered flag diamond tuck vinyl.

I going to be looking at some changes this winter too since I have to tear it down anyway for scheduled maintenance.
My short list is;
Mirror white powder coated rims
Michelin tires
carbon fiber on the windscreen
and maybe an upholstery job in red if yours looks good

Re: 2015 white PCS
A red seat looks gorgeous! Not very common, and probably not for me, as it's too noticeable, but gives a nice touch to the scooter!

Re: 2015 white PCS
Not sure which member this bike belongs to but I keep it on my wallpaper as the best simple color scheme I've seen and something I will seek to mimic. Yesterday I was talking to the powder coat people and they wanted to know what the rims are made of and what is on them now. I assume they are aluminum so I will take a magnet to them today. I wonder if they are black powder coated stock or if that's paint on the 2015 PCX150? I'm off to pick up my plates today so maybe the dealer can answer these questions so I can get a quote for the wheel work soon.pcxpower wrote:A red seat looks gorgeous!

I have no problem with that bright red seat... AWESOME!

Re: 2015 white PCS
Just the other day I saw parked in the street a white scooter that came from the factory with a red seat, and it looked really good! Some years ago it wasn't uncommon to find red or blue seats, but today manufacturers' designs are a little "boring"

It was designed for me. I'm 5 feet, 5 inches tall. My husband is the same height, and neither of us has ever had a complaint about the seat. I actually find it to be quite comfortable.SECoda wrote:My feeling is it was designed for a very small person.
But that's unfortunate because we're shorter than most...and a different seat could be just as comfortable for us, while being a lot more comfortable for taller people.

Re: 2015 white PCS
There is a scooter like the one in the toon avatar you use Kermit that resides close to me and I see a woman riding it. She is not small but rather more amazon attractive with her large frame and wild blond hair. She rides squid with no helmet and just commands the intersection when I see her. I must look like a terrified little geek with my full gear, helmet and PCX opposite her brazen glory What are those funky scooters?Kermit wrote:It was designed for me.SECoda wrote:My feeling is it was designed for a very small person.

Next day that you see the amazon attractive girl with her wild blond hair, it would be great if you could take a pic, so that we all could enjoy it!!homie wrote:There is a scooter like the one in the toon avatar you use Kermit that resides close to me and I see a woman riding it.
