I've got a 2011 White PCX 125 and just joined this forum. I'm planning on getting my scooter all geared up for camping and longer trips, so I'll post my progress as I go.

I live in Portland, OR, so I'll be figuring out how to deal with the cold and the rain...

I've previously owned a Ruckus 50 and two different metro 50s (as well as a buch of different motorcycles).

Honda is my brand of choice when it comes to cars, scooter and motorcycles.

I'm having issues getting my flickr images into my post, so I'll update as soon as I get it figured out.

Thanks!

Dan

Welcome aboard! I have a white too :D best color! About adding photos, there is a thread under the "Off Topic" forum on How To add your pics. Have you checked there yet? Good luck with your cold rides, gear up in layers for warmth. The cold & I do Not get along :|

Yep White is nice though I like the red and white ones in Thailand. Regarding flickr, simple copy and paste the BBCode from the 'Share' option in Flickr. flickr allows you to decide the size, eg 640 x 480.

Thanks for the tip. I was getting an error about the size of the pics ("unable to determine size...") but I got it sorted m

I love the white color. My wife wanted me to get black because its so "cool" but I didn't like the idea of being invisible at night.

Yeah I've Serena lot of cool versions of the scoot in Thailand and they seem to have great accessories too. Thanks for the tip on the pics, I got it sorted out the way you described.

Very true. I will actually be looking to add some reflectors to the new storage box.

When I was first choosing what color to buy, I always thought bought the WHITE version. Looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. But almost everybody who owns a PCX here in Thailand have a white one!!! So in the end, lets get black so everybody HATES black here! :D

Lol. I've seen a lot of multicolor pcxs. Is that a factory option or a custom thing?

Right there are 3 combinations here in Thailand:

Black body with red consoles
White body with red consoles
Red body with black consoles (same as the 125cc version)

Next year there is an ALL BLACK version coming out. Looks sweet! But still the gearbox and rear swing arm still has the same dull gray color. Only the front forks will be black.

Mine's the Black with red console version.

That's really nice. I like the duo tone a lot. Here we have had black, red, or white. White was actually discontinued with the 125 (now the 150) so I got the "last one".

Mr Black Bandit,
here in Malaysia, Honda sells only All Black + Black consoles, Grey Body + Black consoles and White body + Red Consoles..

i'm thinking to get All Black PCX 150.. but i really like the Black body with Red Consoles, the one which is sold for Thailand market.. do u think i can buy the red consoles in Hatyai, Thailand?
