PCX150 Rear Suspension

Just came back from a test drive of a PCX150. It went well but I could feel every bump in the road. Only time it felt at all comfortable was on a new road. I am just over 71Kg so not very heavy.
What are other peoples opinions on the PCX150 ride please?

I find the suspension stiff and feel all bumps in the road. The PCX is very light and if it was heavier, I believe the ride would be smoother if Honda upgraded the suspension for the hevier weight. I wish it had more low end power but not ready to change out the variator due to funds at the moment but will go with the NCY when I can. I can handle the suspension for now, but will be upgrading in the near future for more comfort.
I changed out my seat and that helped a lot. Nothing is perfect, but aftermarket upgrades should help for now.

Honda cars have never been known to be the most comfortable suspension wise. I had a 2006 Accord that sucked in that regard compared to American cars which generally aced that part.
Back to the PCX, yeah you feel the road for sure. Its not something I would ride 6 hrs on and not feel the road. On the other hand, you can count on it more than a Swiss watch. A bit of a trade off?

Many of the PCX owners on this forum have upgraded their rear shocks to YSS. Powerbypcx.com has some nice ones.

For lighter riders up to about 200lbs these work great. YSS G-Plus

It is ultimately a lightweight reasonable cheap scooter, thus it has fairly basic suspension but at least you can upgrade it.
