I'm 6.2 and 195lbs with a 34in waist ( not bad for 51 huh ! ) I imedietly did not like the position, felt VERY cramped compared to my PCX. When the weather warms we will do some swaping comparisons and I will post my findings. Hope spring shows up soon, brrrr.
That was also my impression, it's a little tighter than my BWS even. Add in my newly arrived armoured riding pants which gets in the way of low speed steering and it's a non starter. The PCX's riding position in my mind is completely superior to anything in the under $4,000 category.

I like my PCX. While it shudders in the first 1-3mph and I don't exactly like that, so far I've driven it for 8,000 miles and have had 0 problems! :-)

I've also driven the bike from Clearwater Beach to Sarasota Beach which is a little over 90 miles one way with only mild discomfort coming back. I don't have the iron butt that some riders have lol

I think the PCX tops any of the 110-200 class bikes regardless of maker, however, I am unashamedly biased having owned 3 Honda bikes and 5 (or is it 6?, can't remember now) Honda cars.

:)

There are always tradeoffs/pros/cons/etc and the PCX seems to do... everything pretty well. 8)

All Honda need to do to build the perfect all round scooter is fit a 200cc engine in the PCX.
The 125 and 150 engines are just not powerful enough.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Definitely need more ccs with a CVT. 125/150 is adequate with a manual transmission. Love my CBR 125R.

Treble it :) Absolutely damn right. 200cc, maybe 20% increase in power, bit more top speed, love that idea!
