The Perfect PCX.....Help me spec the ultimate PCX
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2016 5:06 am
Hi guys
I own a Honda ANF INNOVA 125 and a 2013 PCX 150 and can honestly not say which one is my favourite. The ANF is such a basic easy bike to work on and has a better top end when weather permits, it doesnt like hot dry days , performance slightly drops. The PCX is much more advanced, gives a much smoother ride , has lots more pack space and no chain to maintain. I am sure with a few improvements the PCX can become the ultimate scooter. Now, i dont want to debate how to improve the ANF, It had its days and parts and accesories will become more difficult to get. Instead, i want to look at what other PCX owners would like to see on the ultimate PCX. Who knows, just maybe someone from Honda follows the discussion and takes this to the design team. In America and Europe aftermarket parts are affordable, but other parts of the world it becomes expensive if you look at shipping costs and exchange rates
My ideal PCX will be a scooter that:
1- Is affordable to many
2- In original form is safe and easy to use by teenagers daily commuters.
3- In Stock form it has to be fuel efficient
4- Can be modified cheaply and still be reliable, ie stock exhaust can be freeflow up to muffler. If you want better performance only change the muffler and not the full system.
5- Based on personal commuting requirements / style, Ie if you use freeways you must be able to increase topend to 120 km/h with minor changes without breaking the bank.
6- Upgraded headlights or mounts for aftermarket mini spots
7- Kickstart or easy way to get it started if battery is flat and you stuck somewhere.
8- GPS connection
9- Way to lock breaks if you seated on a slope and needs both hands to do something like zipping your jacket, etc
The list can grow, i would like other owners views to help me build the ultimate PCX.
