Where the hell are all the PCX's !!!!! Been riding around Chicago and all I see are mopeds,murdered out rukus's and shitty Gy6's. People see me on ( Casper ) and ask, what is that a sport bike? No one seems to know they exist !

I have seen a total of one in the wild where I live besides mine. o_O The scooters are mainly smaller ones (50s) and my area is semi-rural far out suburbs. That excludes camping where they are many scooters and there were three at the lake campground,

Pride... too much pride to be on a scooter in America. But they will get on a Segway.

Pride? I think there are usually a lot of scooter riders at the pride festivals. ;)

Lile SECoda, I've seen one in person. Once parked at the mall, and once while in my cage. It's red, not sure if 125 or 150.

WN has Not found a PCX friend yet.
(Note: you can skip what follows. The very last sentence, is my answer :geek: )

Here's a recent ride together:
We're rolling, WN spots a SH150 and flashes her headlight, pulls up close to it, then signals and turns away. Hmm, must be the step through thing. :roll: Okay, no match in looks.
We keep rolling & come up to a Metropolitan at an intersection. WN shows No interest, none. Bars are straight and she leaves the 49cc in the dust (snob!). Okay, no match & it's smaller.
We roll on again, faster this time. I hear her exhaust getting louder and louder. Next I'm losing control of the bars and we're trailing a pack of sport bikes o_O Her horn is tootin and we're almost full throttle. We get closer to them...but, they leave her in the dust :o Not Good! Okay, no match & they're faster.
This constant attraction to sport bikes leaves her tires deflated every time :cry:
End of recent ride story.

Nope! No PCX's around. Yup, PCX's better come along real soon :|

I see a couple of big Helixes on occasion, and the odd bid Ruckus, but I have yet to see a PCX or Forza running around. And I know they've been selling here.

I've only seen one Forza in Vancouver, BC... I've seen a few maxi scooters but never another PCX! It's a little depressing! Most other scooters I see look like they've been in more than a few accidents. I've seen a lot of the Honda Ruckus, which makes no sense to me because my PCX was cheaper and seems to be the better option... But maybe that's just me being weird.
