Awersome bike, bcz tomuch road grip.Originally developed, designed and manufactured in Thailand, the PCX was popular as a commuter bike that offered extra-value-added in luxury feel and performance. Marketed in Europe where riders appreciate scooters for their ease of use, the PCX gained popularity and Honda soon realized the reality of having a truly global model of scooter.Let’s start with the new-for-2015 features. Along with an upgraded engine, the PCX150 got a bit of a make-over with new body panels to give it a sportier look more sport bike than scooterish. To enhance that new look, the PXC150 got compact dual LED headlights — in fact, lights all around including hazard lights — to give greater visibility for you to see and be seen.
The new passenger seat is more comfortable, and weatherproof lockable underseat storage — which is now spring-loaded so it stays open without holding it — accommodates a full-face helmet, groceries or a full book bag. Also added in 2015, the scooter has an integral 12-volt adaptor for charging your electronics.
One more notable change from the 2015 revamp is a larger fuel tank. Out went the 1.56-gallon tank, replaced with a 2.1-gallon. Half a gallon may not seem like much, but at 100 mpg, that’s an extra 50 miles, give or take. The tank mounts under the floorboard to keep the center of gravity low. This measure improves handling characteristics.
Instrumentation on the PCX150 includes the typical speedometer, odometer and trip meter. It does have a fuel gauge, which I always like to see, but it also has a clock and a fuel-consumption readout. Those are nice extras.
For ease of parking, the scooter comes with both a jiffy stand and a center stand. You can use whichever one better suits the parking spot; because let’s face it, sometimes having the room to let the scooter lean just isn’t there. While parked, you’re protected with a theft deterrent ignition system cover and steering lock to make sure your scooter stays where you put it.
