Hello everybody. I am a new member to this site, living out in Hua Hin Thailand. Have owned many rides from big bikes to touring scooters like Burgman/Skywave 400. Have finally purchased a PCX150 as it fits all my needs here. Looking forward to doing some custom work on it this year. Look forward to seeing your rides and what you have done. Peace

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.

Thanks Oyabun. Already enjoying my new toy. Hundreds, if not thousands of these in my area. Looking forward to some long rides out.

I see two PCX's St.Clair. Double cheers and Welcome to our forum(s)!
Very nice scoot! You're lucky to get a dual colored bike. Here in the U.S. we get single solid color choices. Red, White, Black, and this year Gray.
It would be nice if Honda brought some Vibrant colors to the market. You must see Vibrant all the time where you live.
Cheers and have fun all four of you! (o:

Thanks white noise.
There are lots of choices here in Thailand, this year we have the grey, white red, white matt and cherry red. They put gold wheels on some colours that don't seem to fit well though and I wish the matt grey was gloss. It looks a little dull compared to the others, would like to see someone clear coat it. I am actually from the UK originally (Cambridge country side) moved here this year selling my burgman 400. PCX was the best option out here for the traffic and one I chose for customizing as I will need to work for myself next year. Still breaking this one in and the brown and black one will be going today. If I could ride two at once I would but could never neglect a ride. Will try and do a video soon of some of the big car parks out here....sometimes there are 60 odd PCX's in a sea of 1000 flans and scoopi's. Thailand is like Mario kart for scooters but the obstacles are dogs and monkeys.lol

I picked up the grey - though I must admit the red catches my eye mostly. It's nice; I find the matt finish completely improves the perceived shape of the bike.

My only negative is the ride - taking my son to school I pass 72 speed bumps - it can't compare to a real bike taking it all in at 60km/h... so I'll be thinking about shocks, wheels, tyres and maybe seat foam. Meanwhile I take it at around 40-50 and try to do a slalom around the sides of the bumps, or just slow down to 20 for the shorter ones (they match the diameter of the wheel and give a hell of a jolt).

Meanwhile adjusting from 0 to 100km/h in first gear going up to the u-turn bridge with a comfortable cruise at 120 but power to blast 220km/h in the space the PCX takes to hit 80. The speed isn't as much of an issue as I feared. 80-90 cruising is fine. I feel slightly annoyed that the Honda Wave II here is about the same for speed, they could have squeezed just a tad more from the extra 25cc... or did the transmission waste that?

Can't complain - getting well over 300km for 200 baht (averaging 42 to 46km/l) means I never think about the cost of riding out even to spend 3 baht on some basil in the soi.

Hey Tommy. Hua Hin is a great place for a scooter ride.
So relaxed. My girlfriend has the filano...is nice most days to just go out and ride.
