Amazing little machine.Rode various bikes for 63 years,Legs not strong enough for many bikes now, so bought the PCX. Quite amazed at its performance.

One thing to note for taller riders like me at 6'3 is that the PCX 150 is one of the only scooters where my knees didn't start to get up into the handlebars. I think it's probably designed primarily for the average height rider, but I'm still really comfortable on the PCX.

Thanks for sharing your story - did you ever end up purchasing one of these scooters?

Just bought a 2022 Honda PCX and it rocks!! 90mpg and speeds up to 65mph, its perfect!!

My Saturday errands. The bank. Post office. The farmer's market. Lunch. My commute to work. Food shopping for two. I've put hamburgers and shakes in a tray in the tub and they stay upright. Honest. You volunteer to go out to get that missing ingredient for dinner. I've ridden it in high 30's and low 40 degree temps and it turns right over. The engine doesn't get hot in summer. No shifting. Breaks are great. Going into my third year riding it and after 12,000 miles it's going strong. Replaced the front tire and get regular maintenance. And it really does get between 80 and 100 miles per gallon. Note: If you over stuff the seat and cannot get it open just push down on the seat and hit the release. I had to google that once when it happened to me. Scooters are underutilized transit tools in the USA but they are a lot of fun. You need a motorcycle license to ride it. I took the safety course and practiced a lot in a parking lot with the aid of "Ride like a Pro" practice DVD for motorcycles. Break and throttle works with scooters for slow riding and superior control. I would just say respect it. Cornering in twistees is not like a bicycle. It rides like an easy to ride motorcycle but with the same physics so you need to understand cornering. Scooters are sometimes treated like the safe, shallow end of the pool but respect for being on two wheels is always needed. So don't just ''twist and go'' but practice and go slow on turns until you really get the feel for cornering and take the safety course. Took me about 1,000 miles to feel comfortable, but that included practicing a lot in parking lots doing emergency breaking and balance and cornering. One day I was diverted into a construction zone and was very happy I practiced going around cones in a lot cause ditches would not be fun to fall in. Honestly, if you've been thinking about getting a bike as I was for about 40 years, but not sure about shifting and the complexity and weight of a motorcycle, this is a great way to go.

The Best Advice for someone trying to get on two wheels!!. A lot of people are undecided and think too much about the stigma that comes associated with this wonderful little machines to be ready to own one..... filling up with 5 dollars a week and paying like 150 on insurance a year lets you save a Lot!! But of course there's always the fools that will recommend you to minimum start on a 600cc because you'll easily get bored, smho. More important in this times of crisis than ever to save!!

I've had mine for 11 months now I've put about 400 miles on her and I am very excited the weather is getting warmer This 153cc scooter is just plain Fun I've owned Motorcycles from 600 cc sports bikes to big Harleys And this one is more fun than any of them

I live in Jersey, is the practical to drive on the turnpike or parkway?

Almost on 20 000 km on mine love it ride it every day 46km/liter.

Purchased a 2015 Honda PCX150 Metallic Black July 2017. Did some mods as in: Givi windscreen-NCY variator kit 13g rollers face plate and variator-Leo Vince Corsa exhaust. I enjoy it. Great ride and comfortable. So far max speed GPS was 75mph. I can run highway speeds (55-65mph) no issues and even hit freeway/interstate speeds (65-70mph) but prefer not to. Scooter/bike is a little light for the freeway/interstate runs. I am just getting into the scooter/bike scene and purchased a Tao Tao Powermax VIP150 to make sure I could handle something before I purchased a higher priced scooter/bike. I have a disability that prevents me from riding a bike/scooter to heavy or big and the Honda PCX fits the bill. As a consumer there is a market for scooter/bikes to be tapped. Biggest issue is advertising is not well known. yes this review helped me decide and a lot of others reviews on the Honda PCX. If you can ...find a Suzuki Burgman 200 to test as it may be my next test and I do plan on keeping the PCX. Three Scooter/bikes I am looking into are the 2018 Kymco Xtown 300i - 2018 Yamaha Xmax 300 - 2018 Suzuki Burgman 200. Also Sym Citicom 300. Thanks in advance.

I have been looking for a 150 cc - 180 cc scoot to go with my RV mostly. I have seen many reviews and this is the best I have seen so far. Nice job.

EXACTLY!!!! It's a Cadillac! Timeless and reliable.... I'm about to get mine tomorrow (PCX150)... and I'm thinking this bike would be in my stable for a while.... Not as exclusive as a Vespa, but it's there (in that ranking), it's there...

This is really nice for someone who us small since motorcycles are more likely to be dangerous. Some suggest people less then 140lbs shouldn't ride a motorcycle. This is a happy medium since I don't plan to drive long distance or on the highway.

Great review on the Honda PCX 150. When I see the PCX, I kind a seen it like a Honda Fit of scooters. Lol Its economical, frugal on gas, lots of storage just like the Fit. Are you going to do any accessories like bigger windscreen for the PCX?

My first ride was the 2013 model of this in candy red. Had just over a gallon tank, maybe 1.4 with reserve, but still got 90-100 mpg. I did plenty of motorcycle group rides on it, and while it was slow to get to highway speeds, it could keep up if everyone was going 65 or so. I'm surprised they kept an analog panel, as I thought the 2015 or 2016 went digital. Either way, it was a great first "bike" and a ton of fun around town. I eventually upgraded to a Kawasaki Vulcan S, to do more group rides and more highway travel, but I do miss that storage!

Love it! It was a quick learn even though it'd been 3 years since my MSF course, and even with 3,500 miles on it, I'm still always finding ways to be a better rider. The thing just sings at high speeds, and now that the engine is broken in, really likes being shifted at higher RPM (I'm not a "motorcycle guy" but I know the engine comes from Kawi's sport bike, so that makes sense). And the ergo-fit adjustability is set up really well, particularly for us shorter folk. Lots of after-market accessories, too, though the OEM ones from Kawasaki are pricier than they should be. Couldn't recommend it more highly!

Great review. I have a 2019 PCX 150 in Indonesia and an Smax 155 in the states and they are two different animals. You nailed the key points of the PCX. It surprisingly absorbs the road and has the "grandma's Cadillac" feeling. It also has smooth acceleration even if your too aggressive on the throttle. By contrast, the Smax uses a mid-shock and is motorcycle like tight in the suspension, and with a bit more power and wider tires, I find it better for the U.S. riding needs because you can cruise comfortably at 70mph with the confidence of 328lbs wet to keep you planted to the road at high speed. The PCX in Indonesia does have disc brakes front and back and is key-less.

What’s the aftermarket look like for these, as far as cosmetics and performance?

New to this kind of stuff, can I get this with a normal American drivers license?

Any recommendations for dealers in California? The one I went into told me over $5500 out the door. To say I was insulted in an understatement.
