Re: 2021 PCX’s arriving at U.S. Honda dealers!

Hey and thanks, ST. FWIW, my order decision was definitely grounded on, inspired by this quasi-official, usually-reliable insider-guy's February "tons of new changes" report: https://www.hondaprokevin.com/2021-honda-pcx-scooter-review-specs-pcx160 . I think that he's with a Thailand dealer...

Re: 2021 PCX’s arriving at U.S. Honda dealers!

Geeez... Exciting and disturbing for me, ST, how about you? Indeed, my dealer's report is that my order has arrived in their warehouse. I was excited when I got the news, but I'll now have to think about this quickly and prepare, because if the pictures you saw are accurate , a dumb-key bike is not ...

Ready to cancel order: From excited and patient to bored and jaded

Yes, I am quite close to giving up, and there are two factors that explain why the long wait is now finally exhausting me -on top of having no better idea of delivery time. First: I originally jumped on the very first 2021 PCX that I saw listed on a dealer's website, and I've been checking on every ...

Re: Repairable or totaled

Yikes, glad to hear it was only your scooter that suffered much. You don't mention gear at all. Was that what helped you, and is there a gear lesson you can share? Best of luck negotiating with the corporate reps, healing, and getting past this so you can be riding again.

Re: Any idea when the 2021 PCX will hit the USA?

Why is it so difficult to believe that a 157 cc motor with 4 valves and high compression will hit 80 or so mph? The 155 cc Yamaha SMax does... Haven't seen that evidence for the SMAX, in practice. Maybe you're just referring to claimed speeds. I saw one vid that indicated 80 on the panel, but 72 on...

Re: Any idea when the 2021 PCX will hit the USA?

I visited a dealer in Northern Virginia, only to find the showroom was uncharacteristically bare and thinking: " sales must be great " but, sadly that was not the case. They said that Honda, like most major vehicle manufacturers is being strangled for chips. vehicles are sitting in wareho...

Re: This waiting game is driving me insane!

Ezrider, Same boat as you mate. My Honda dealer’s projected delivery date for the 2 new 2021 PCXs has once again come..and gone. Still riding my present scoot, but the PCX’s arrival will soon see it parked in someone else’s garage. That Versys X-300 you mentioned looks impressive, has available ABS...

Re: Road Trip

Sounds like a great plan and ride. Plenty have done that and more on bicycles and smaller scooters. You'll have a great one on a PCX of either variety. Best of luck, enjoy it and everyone you'll meet along the way, capture your memories in one or more modes, and be sure to tell us all about it.

Re: Any idea when the 2021 PCX will hit the USA?

No better, good delivery info here; but also no dealer reports, or guesses/claims, as pessimistic as yours. I hope some dealers have better prospects, but I have little experience with any of them. So: did you order one?

Re: This waiting game is driving me insane!

Staying sane, but I am wavering indeed, inspired by the improving weather. I have called on 3 used-bike ads in the past week or so: a VanVan 200, a Versys X-300, and a Vespa 250ie. Alas, each had (just) been sold: bad luck, perhaps, or fate to wait. Still reliant on still-rare videos of even Asian w...

Re: This waiting game is driving me insane!

Great, mrnixdorf! In the US, I called the dealer at the one-month wait stage and learned, after he consulted his Honda person, that it may be another month before I see my new PCX. Still no tracking number |wink|... Between you and I, I've resumed shopping and may not be able/willing to wait. Then a...

Re: My First Accident :(

Thanks for sharing this, and the heads-up to all of us. It's always a matter of ANTICIPATING and expecting the worst from drivers, fellow-riders, pedestrians, hazards, conditions, etc.. Consider that the most common car accident is a rear-ender, and this has been the case since before cell phones. I...

Re: 2021 Honda PCX "160"

The PCX sold in the USA has not featured rear disk brakes, and the 2021 PCX still does not. Front ABS has only been an option. The 2021 ADV features standard front-ABS, but also has a rear drum, and the 2022 ADV has the same brake offerings. Yamaha scooters here, on the other hand, have featured rea...

Re: 2021 Honda PCX "160"

In the USA: Just called and ordered the first one I saw advertised in my region on a dealer's website. They currently expect to get just one, and 3-4 weeks is the ETA: We shall see. Have been lurking here, learning. We'll see how this develops; stay tuned. By the way, it's just PCX here: no 150 nor ...
