Veteran scootster here. I've been riding for many years and blogging about same. Started out on a Honda Aero 50 in college, many years later got a Yamaha Vino 50, which soon got upgraded to a Kymco People 150. Had an 83 Honda Sabre for a while, while keeping the Kymco as a backup. Sold the Honda a couple years ago and am back to the Kymco as my two-wheeler of choice. I've ridden my 150 on long overland trips over much of the northeast.
For years I've been kinda taken by the looks of the PCX, and the engine displacement is exactly what I like. Over the last month, I've been to the local Honda dealer a few times, the first time for oil, the others to look at the 2013 PCX-150 that's sitting in the showroom, and on Friday I got to ride it. I wrote a review of my experience which I will link below if you want to bother reading another review of a scoot you're all familiar with.
The one thing I will say here is that the PCX feels like it would be great for the long distance trips I do as well as good for the longer commutes to work I have with a new job I'm starting Tuesday. It will need a taller windscreen (I've seen GIVI has a good one), and a luggage rack that will accomodate a crate (found a helpful topic on that in this forum), but it felt so planted and so comfortable, I can see it working very well for my needs. In any event, I'm going back tomorrow to finish the credit app. If I get approved, I will have a nice black PCX and will probably be around the forums a bit. Very happy to be here.
