Check out these videos of brandy new PCX and Forza scooters from abroad. I'm thinking Thailand but not sure. . .anyone know? Dig the gold wheels on the PCX's.

Exactly... Candy corn and Halloween, Home Depot and road hazards. Plus orange and gold, I can't think of anything on earth orange and gold. If I had to pick one it would be the white, orange, gold rim PCX. But I would switch out to white rims

That's definitely from Thailand. Saw a lot of em running the streets here now. The orange in the PCX 2017 is a no-no for me, so glad I bought the black white combi. Those gold rims are quite cool.

That yellow Forza 300 is lit.

We have better taste? No, probably not.

As far as being seen goes, that Forza definitely sticks out. You shouldn't have to worry about being seen in traffic over here if they sold that color here...though I don't think I would want one. It isn't as though they are muscle cars, like the Super Bee was.

I have seen the lemon (urine?) yellow one here in Bangkok. I don't like it. It would seem that the colour would stick out, but with taxis being bright colours, it kind of blends in.

Someone's been taking his vitamins if that looks like urine.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) does wonders for that.

Wow, that Forza is Visible. Yes I capitalized the V on purpose. Is it just my tablet or is that a really peculiar, almost nauseating colour? I love being visible but yikes! I guess that could be the point...so job well done?

Yeah, I'm not into any of those whacky vomit inducing fluorescent color PCX mods, but this Matt black PCX looks pretty sweet

I like the look of flat black. BUT it's the definition of invisibility.

Greenmeenie · Post by **Greenmeenie** » Fri Apr 28, 2017 8:48 am

True. Looks cool tho. My favorite is still the pearl white PCX. Visible, but so sharp & classy. My 2nd favorite color would be the candy apple red PCX. But Gonna nab me a white PCX next month. Can't wait.

Eat a whole jar of picked beetroot and see what colour it is then.

See my comment above. In my opinion, it is really peculiar, but to each his own.

Great photo! Thanks for posting it

Lotta Green Going On (the rubber tree plants make the bike appear green-er too so,.....)
The yellow color is not That bad, it's just that there's So much of it. Guess that's why it can be not so good either (sigh).
On a smaller scale, this yellow-green actually reminds me of my Nolan N104 hi-viz modular lid. If you want a good match for your bike PingGam, take a look at one. It's a very popular helmet here in the USA, no matter what color you choose.

Hey! Is that your pup in the rear? he looks a bit on guard or is that....spooked?

Cheerio, be safe...have Fun!

The colour doesn't really show correctly in pictures, it looks more yellow in pics than the yellow-green, much like the hi-viz helmets.
I had wanted to get the same colour helmet but I haven't seen one available here, and very expensive shipping from Amazon US

The dog in the back is a neighbourhood dog I was chasing away as he was after a bit of fun with one of our dogs that was in heat

This blue colour was another that I was thinking about, but the wife liked the yellow so that's what we got

The yellow is more like Hi Viz but I do like the PCX in that blue color as well. It's one of the reasons I bought a reflective vest. Blue and grey kind of blend into the background more in certain lighting conditions or weather. Wearing a Hi Viz helmet or vest helps to offset that and increase visibility to other drivers.

The seat looks like an aftermarket item.

If they offered the Forza or a PCX in the U.S. in that Hi Viz yellow I'd seriously consider it over a platinum or grey color for sure. I think a lot of people like the White because it stands out more and rumor has it they are faster.

But that's just me. I'm sure the Honda marketing people have done their research and have a good idea what different regional markets prefer.

No rumor about it, it is just the truth. Ask any of us with a white PCX and we will gladly verify it.

Understandable, since white reflects all wavelengths of light.

OT: I would love to upgrade to a Forza, and probably will get that "urine" color, but then I'm a small guy (65 kgs or 143 lbs) and will look ridiculously out of place on top of a bulky Forza.
