With the 2016s getting set to arrive sometime soon, the dealers (and Honda) are starting to discount the 2015s here. I tested a silver one and I'm mighty tempted. I've never owned a scooter before...some sportbikes and more hard core supermotos. But something about the PCX is very appealing to me...apart from the super fit, finish and engineering of this machine.
What's affordable, intimidates no one, runs like a radio, carries your junk, moves you from point A to point B and doesn't ask for much in return. What has parts that are plentiful and cheap, is user friendly, fast enough PLUS chicks love them and fits in a tiny space?
It's not a big motorcycle just goofy little motorbike... first gear

Someone mentioned the '16 model the other day - wonder what has changed compared to the '15? (the site listed the other day was in Taiwanese or such so I could not make it out).

Nothing.
Scooters are not changed just because the year changes.
The PCX is six years old now, there have been two changes in that time.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

But as others have mentioned, I do find it fun and sooo easy to ride. So easy in fact, I seemed to enjoy the scenery a bit more than I had in years.
I think that largely depends on how many backroads you have, whether or not you need to go on the highway, and whether or not you enjoy shifting gears.
Fun little thing, but lacking in power when compared to a CBR250R. Though on the other hand, you get a 200 mile range on the 2015 and beyond models, with 100 mpg fuel economy. So you can pretty much ride anywhere you want for the price of a frappacino.
2999 CDN is about 2300 USD, currently. Great deal you got! Not so good for those thinking they can get $2500 for their used PCX that's older or has accident damage. But the market is the market. Good going!
2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?
