New Guy in Franklin, TN

[JoshM]

Hey guys! Well, I don't own a PCX yet, but I'm going to look at one Saturday... for the 3rd time .
I'm still on the fence about the SH150i vs PCX150.

The local dealership quoted me $4100 OTD for the PCX, $3300 OTD for the SH150i.
The SH is a 2010 w/ 1100 miles, and the PCX is obviously new.

It's really going to come down to which I like to sit on better

I've had Piaggios and Vespas in the past, but there's just something about these 2 Hondas that have caught my attention.

I'm still not sure of the new style sh125i (new PCX engine and 2013 dash) or a PCX, but waiting on the 2014 new style PCX to be available before I get one. I thought the SH has more top end than the equivalent PCX (for 125, read 70 rather than mid 60mph) but not sure about that or the US 150's. Sharing the same enhanced engine, should be much easier getting to the valves than the PCX

Welcome (almost) to the Honda family of scoots & to the forums
So this is your third shot at seeing the PCX/&/SH150 hmm...are you over thinking this perhaps? Coming from the Piaggio family I'm thinking you like "step throughs." Well, you can swing a leg over or through to seat yourself on a PCX. If you like a flat floorboard and full step through the SH150 maybe the one. Both great scoots. Bet you know which one I'm voting for Btw, Piaggio scoots are very nice, they're just heavy and too costly to repair...and the seats are always so high! Dang! Good luck and Pick One This Trip...you'll be glad you did!! Psst!....(go PCX )

This will be the 3rd time seeing a PCX. They recently got in the SH so I will finally be able to see/sit side by side.
Although I love scooters, I've had, and still have, motorcycles. So swinging a leg up a little bit is no big deal. I liked the open floorboard of the Piaggios for extra foot positions, but it's not necessarily a deal breaker either way.

There will be a decision made this weekend. No "ifs", "ands", or "buts" about it!

[WhiteNoise]

Good! Cheers to your "go get 'em" attitude Please share a pic of the..... "Chosen" one

There is something to be said for the forward foot rest portion at the top of the footboard. Nice for highway cruising.

If your interested in saving 400.00 on a Pcx call Chattanooga Power Sports. They had a red and black in stock.

It really is worth checking around for a good price. I called several dealers and found one less than an hour away that didn't charge a freight fee and offered free delivery! I got my PCX delivered to my house for $3528!

[JoshM]

Ratster, thanks for the tip!

I found the $4100 price at a dealership a bit north of me. The local dealer came in at $4400 but said they'd price match the $4100.
I just emailed Chatt Power Sports for an OTD quote. I'm going to Chatt next weekend anyways, so it may work out for the best if they're price is even lower.

We live in Marietta, Georgia. That is south of Chattanooga on Interstate 75 before you get into Atlanta. I have heard from several dealers here that people have come down from Tennessee to buy bikes and scooters because of the larger selection and fact that there are multiple dealers in our area. The point is, don't be afraid to look outside of your area, sometimes way out of your area. If you know someone with a vehicle that has a trailer hitch see if they will go with you to look for a scooter down this way. Then, after finding one you could rent a u-haul trailer and take it home.....or look for one, do the paperwork, and then get your friend to go with you to pick it up.

PCX150 on order for $3900 OTD!

The two stores in Chattanooga quoted $3800-ish and used that as leverage with the local dealership. He came down to $3900 flat OTD which I'm very happy with. I'd spend $100 in gas, food, etc driving to Chattanooga and back I'm sure.


Should be in my driveway by the end of the week!

Great News Josh, and a sensible otd price! Color?? Now the hard part....."the Wait"

[JoshM]

It was tough deciding color, but I ended up going with black. My past two scoots have been red so I decided to mix things up a bit.

[JoshM]

It's in and ready to be picked up after work! If only I could find a way to get 5:00pm here faster...

There's usually a few rallies up near you every year, I'll probably be at the Hill On Wheels rally this year if they host it again.
