What would you change on the PCX

Imagine if Honda were listening, what would you ask them to improve if they brought out a "mkII" version?

For me it would be a clock

To make more of them, so I could actually find and buy one.

Lol, I agree! :P

I'd tell them to make that Blue from Japan an option!

Removing the seat hump has to be up there...

In no particular order of preference: Clock, 200cc engine, much bigger petrol tank, hydraulic auto valve adjusters, fork gaiters, better indicators, rear fog light, ABS, built in standard rear rack with topbox fitments, colour matched OEM topbox, quick release bodywork panels for service access, 8000 mile service interval.
The 150 has already had a seat humpectomy but definitely a better seat would be a high priority.

Realistically?

I'd change the gearing so that it doesn't hit the rev limiter, they can add a hard 60mph limiter for the markets that need it. I'd increase the size of the gas tank by any means possible. Also, the service intervals need to be reconsidered: Needing a valve adjustment every other month does not a economic vehicle make.

I would like a PCX300. Im not going to upgrade my 125 just to 150 ! Also would like mirrors attached to the fairing, rather than on the handlebars!

Something a bit bigger, between the 150 and the Silver Wing would be nice, say around 400cc. A bit more weight would be nice too for stability on highways and in windy conditions. Automatic valve adjustment would be a huge plus. And definitely a bigger fuel tank.

It's often been said that the best scooter Honda don't make is the S-Wing 125 with an SH300 engine.

Remove the sticky up bits of plastic under the seat for the tools and the manual. They just take up space

Add rear disk brake
Remove throttle/speed limiter-so what if I blow it up!
Make the colors universal- the Japan blue does look nice.

I use the tool part of the "sticky up bits" to store my disc lock in, keeps it from rattling about.

A clock would be nice. As would a stock top-box mount.

At the risk of sounding like an utter yank, I'd like a cup-holder somewhere. Not to drink while on the scooter of course, but sometimes in the summer heat it would be nice to pick up a cold beverage or shake or something and then scoot down to the park and drink it in the shade.

Not sure about changing anything else. For what the PCX150 is, I'm pretty happy with it.

That front gap between the stock windshield and the body is begging for an LED unit to shine out (white/yellow/orange for red PCXs, blue for the black PCXs). Or possibly to zoom back and forth like KITT from Knightrider.

I think it would look great being a bit bigger, give it that proper motorbike look from the front
