Hey Chaciak, welcome to the forums!

As for new PCX riders in the USA, I think we got shafted. I still haven't seen another PCX in the dealership. I'll have to ask if they're getting them in and having them sell, or just not getting any in.

Will do but i think we commute in diffrent times (off@6am back@12am), but you could also keep an eye on brand new white pcx with 12 reg:)

I thought I read somewhere they had stopped selling the PCX in USA. And why does the US version not have the idle stop feature? Thats one of the great things about the PCX. It must cost Honda money to disable features and add stuff like indicators on stalks to make it comply to US standards.

But they may be waiting in the USA to sell the new PCX150 instead.

I read somewhere that we weren't getting more shipments in, but it wasn't a reliable source.

Honda USA still has them on their site: http://powersports.honda.com/2011/pcx.aspx, which would indicate to me that they probably are going to keep them available.

I've heard that we didn't get idle stop either because it isn't compliant with our emissions regulations, or isn't compliant with the rules that the department of transportation outlines. That's all just speculation though, there might be an entirely different reason that we don't know about.

has anyone in USA tried to retrofit idle stop yet?

Woozy whats the windscreen on the black one and did you add the rubber trim yourself? looks nice!

woozy-uk · Post by **woozy-uk** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 4:24 am

its a Givi screen (D322ST)

the trim is metal trim i applied, i had to cut it to put it around the screen as i couldnt get it around the contours in one length

rubber trim would be easier. the reflective strips are covering the deep scratches from the accident

i think the screen looks like this. shaped like the top part of the queens head=

So is that your girlfriend?

I seem to remember pics of Thai customised PCX's with very alien painted screens.

That's a bit of a dodgy place to park isn't it, wouldn't surprise me if they get a ticket!

In the last week, I have seen 5 different white PCXs on my journey home from Liverpool Street in the city, via London Bridge, Elephant and Castle, Brixton and Streatham (where I live). I really want one! I'm glad to see they're becoming so popular.

mikeoc · Post by **mikeoc** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 7:37 am

I saw another white pcx in Crystal Palace last night, and one parked in Moorgate this lunchtime. Seems to be the most popular new bike I am seeing on the roads at the moment.

Wow, lots more PCXes over there than here. I rode over 400 miles this weekend, didn't see a single PCX.

I saw an interesting sight which would have made a great photo today, a grey PCX sitting at traffic lights waiting to turn out of a side street with a Vespa PX sitting beside it and the two riders sharing a joke and a laugh.

I ride with Vespas all the time, they're no different from us.

Friday's commute home, I had some wannabe-gangster-homies roll up next to me. They were bobbing their heads to the beat and waving their arms, generally looking silly. They turned down their radio when I looked over at them, but didn't stop dancing, so I started mimicing their head bobs and arm waves. It was hilarious. What twats. I wish I had a picture of that.
