Club?
Only club for a seal is the one for hitting it on the head.
Horrible nasty fish eating bar-stewards, they have ruined many a day's fishing for me.
Cute though.

I finally got my red PCX 150 two days ago. The red color is very depending on the light conditions. If it's sunny it looks bright red, when it's cloudy it's dark red. I was driving with the sun on my righthand side en it seemed that I had a PCX made out of two colors, dark red on the left and bright red on the right. But it's a very nice color, love it!

Step away from my PCX if you're wielding a club! ;-)

I do like the red, but wasn't available for me at the time of purchase. I went for the seal, as it was in stock and ready to buy. I've seen a white one a few times that lives up the road and it always looks a bit grubby. Black seemed to be asking for trouble to me!

If it was available in the UK, I'd have waited for a blue, as it would match my Honda Jazz. Sad but true...

Hi all, this is my first post, picking up a 125 next week, waiting for the new UK reg to come out. Usually I have trouble choosing a model when spending money but the PCX was a no brainer. Now I am struggling with which colour, they all look great ,was going for white until I saw one at the showroom, hadn't considered silver/Grey until I saw it.then saw the red and fell in love with that too.

Today it will be red tomorrow black....

Solution, buy 3 PCX ?

I went for black as it looked great with the chrome. Also like the red which is new for this year. Just look at em all in the flesh and decide. Black shows all the marks up so it would be the red if I did it again. The white and silver just dont do it for me. Red will stand out too in daylight better than the other colours.

In the UK red is the colour to get right now, it identifies it as a new bike and there are less of them on the road.
Looks much better than grey or black and almost as good as the white.

Me neither. My CRV and both my CBR's were black.

Pretty sure :D What about the green version?
Attached some more from PowerbyPCX :o Some are sideways, or did the photographer lie down on the floor? :lol: Too lazy to turn back.

I will be back there quite soon to get the Xenons installed on my 150. Should be a big improvement for my daily rides at night back from work. Hilly roads along the coast, that's where you like good lights.

P.S.: I also like the orange one.
