Today I went in to my local dealership to put a deposit on the PCX150 I was told they'd be getting at the end of July. It turns out they got one in this morning. It's now mine. I've never ridden a scooter before and this thing is way, way fun. Shoulda done this years ago.
So any Americans who are waiting for the PCX150 to come out might want to check to see if any snuck in early.

Just out of curiosity, what state or metro area did you find the 150 scooter?

Just picked up mine on too, 01 July 2012. Dealership just called me this morning it snuck in early lol, but I put a deposit on it back in may. Dealerships are only getting 1 per dealer the first 2 month's here in the United States. Breaking in as normal. Had a PCX 125 traded in for the 150. Price is 3400 for the new pcx 150 for those who want to know minus the state taxes and plates and other stuff.
Rode it 100 miles today not even breaking a sweat doing 65 down the highway. Has plenty of pep for big hills too. Finally they added the power it needed for the ailing pcx 125.
Seat is wider and sits higher then the PCX 125 so if your a shorty like me 5'6" your going to find straddling the wider seat uncomfy after about the first 50 miles. Taller people will definently like the bigger seat tho and passengers Imas well.
Will have to take it down to the upholstery shop and have the seat contoured for us short people lol =).

Congrats on your new PCX, and welcome to the forums!
I need to go sit on one to see how the new seat feels if it's wider. Is it wider for the passenger as well?
