Yep, supposed to be one of the last white ones in the US warehouse
(and such a lovely sparkly white it is, too).

Very nice! That's great that you could still find a white one. I like your inelegant grocery portage system - last night I overestimated my underseat storage at the store and ended up just hanging a loaf of bread in a plastic bag on the left handle bar so it wouldn't get squished :D

Yes...
It has been about 5 hrs since I traded in the other one and already I'm in mourning for its excellent grocery hook
(but just the grocery hook)

you don't want to set a bad example looking like a lower Wacker Drive shopping cart bag lady anyway.

Congrates on the last 2015 pearl white... I'm not just a fan of white PCX, I'm an owner

Why 'one of the last ones' < is it '15's being replaced by '16's?

Yes - when I started shopping for a PCX in mid September the 2016s had already started showing up and none of the Orlando dealers had any white 2015's left - I had to venture about 30 miles away to find a dealer with a white one. I assume the OP in South Carolina had a similar experience. Based on the results of my scientific poll, it would seem that the white one is the most favored color.

Now that I've seen it, I think the white ones will return soon. It is magnificent!

I got the white because I'm hoping to persuade the husband to get a gray one
And neither one of us wanted one that's "gamecock red" (local team mascot and school color)

I wish you happy riding with your beautifull white PCX.
My daughter had a brand new white too just one month ago.

For security i bought her the same day i bought the PCX, an ABUS lock and later i will buy her an ABUS lock disc with an alarm.

Very beautifull colour the pearl white, when you see it under the sun especially it rocks and very importand issue that it can be noticed easiely by the other drivers - riders in the joungle of the road out there.

Thank you guys, for the warm welcome :)

I rode it around today and it's a completely great scooter
And I had no trouble carrying a heavy load of groceries with my improvised setup (above)

It's much nicer than my old one and I totally, totally loved the old one
(I only traded that one in because it was becoming impossible to get it fixed)

That's great - what did you have before?

It was a Vespa GT200 and an excellent one at that.

Nice indeed!

I am very interested in your thoughts concerning comparisons between the Vespa and the Honda?

You have a great ride now, nonetheless, it must have hurt some to part with that setup. Classic looking.

DailyRider, oops I stand corrected....
......You're one lucky Gal to get ahold of a "White."
Sooo, Did your husband take a ride on it yet? Is he at the dealership with it now putting money down on his to be Gray?"
Ah yes,....."Anyday Now" ;)

No biggie, looks like most of the posters here are guys.
And I loved your cheery comments :)

The husband is still unhappy about his Vespa, which ended up nastily damaged by unsuccessful thieves.
And then it was hard to get an insurance estimate on it,
because our closest (out of state) repair place had quietly gone out of business without us noticing. o_O

So it may be a while before we have 2 scooters again.
...But I'm hopeful.

more information please, noticed the lock and thought it to be there for a good reason.
