Some changes for the Honda PCX

[barryG]

For some unfathomable reason, Honda have revised the PCX engine so that it is 3% more efficient Seems to me a waste of R&D but hey ho.

On a brighter note.... you can now buy a colour version, yes theyve realised Black and White is the past and the PCX is now available in a rather tasty Candy Red

It's always been available in Candy Red, just not in the UK.
There are two different reds though, the new PCX150 is a darker red than the 125.
Also available in Japan is a rather fetching blue colour and lets not forget the metallic gold ones available in some far east countries.
As for the fuel efficiency and the 150cc upgrade, I would have preferred to see a 200cc job.
I believe that the R&D was carried over from the Vision 110 which makes the PCX look like a gas guzzler.
Wonder what the claimed 155mpg LX 3V will achieve in the real world...?
Will Piaggio's R&D pay off by the LX 3V outselling the PCX...?
I would like to see a 200-250cc version of that 3V engine in a modern styled scoot.

Dunno if doing a 150 is worth while for the uk, learner laws and all that..

Needs to fit in with Rider Licence, tax band, and bhp limits, insurance brackets etc...

33hp 250 pcx anyone? - form a Que...

Vespa have a PX150 in the UK so they seem to think it's worthwhile.
Honda already make a PCX-ish 250 the Faze but it's Japan only.

it looks smart from the front but it looks like they forgot to do with the back!!
