That's a UK requirement isn't it, you live in Florida now. It will rain like hell for a few afternoons once a year for ten minutes. Convertible rentals will fill up with water in parking lots by unsuspecting tourist. Bikers will just pull off and have a beer. But unlike your experience where ever you are from you now get to ride every single day with confidence the sun will be out in a minute. Enjoy the sunshine state of Florida and know that hazard lights on motorcycles in the USA are an after market ad on.

I had them on my Burgman 400, but I always thought that an inexpensive scooter such as a pcx would not have such amenities, considering the Burgman is 3 times the price of a pcx. I guess you could add them yourself, but that is a lot of work for something you might use once or twice.

So, they have them on european models but not on the America models? I know that my 2013 model does not have a hazard switch. I didn't think that they would add it to the 2015 model, but they obviously did for the European model. We don't have the idle stop switch either, but I would prefer not to have that anyway, so those pictures were of the European version.

I can tell just by looking at the picture that it's not a US-spec hazard switch. US DOT requires the hazard light button to be red. Oh, in government-speak it's offically a "Vehicular hazard warning signal operating unit."

You don't need no steenkin' hazard lights anyway. Same thing with mirrors--just toss 'em. You're a PCX rider now, Hoss.
