Thanks for the feedback! The new PCX160 should be an even better scoot than my older PCX150! My only concern is with the valve maintenance intervals... whether they are the same or more frequent, and if it's more difficult or expensive to do it. The PCX150's valve maintenance isn't hard, but it's VERY time consuming to pull all of the Tupperware off of the bike to get in there. 4-valve heads can be more tedious to adjust, so we'll see how that works out. Otherwise, the PCX160 is significantly improved over the older models... engine power & efficiency, top speed, rear suspension, chassis rigitidy, digital gauges, etc. Cheers, and good luck with your PCX search! 😉👍 --QM

I completely agree! I have a 1978 Honda CB125S sitting in my garage right now that's waiting to be restored. I always wanted a CB125 in my early teens, but I chose to buy the 1984 Honda XL125S when I was 14 years old because I could ride it everywhere... pavement or dirt. I put over 35K miles on that little XL125 riding all around OK, AR, and MO in just the first 2 years! I upgraded to bigger bikes when I turned 16, but I always regretted selling the little XL125S... it was such a great little bike. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Agreed! The only reviews that I've seen on the new PCX160 are from the Asian markets. Maybe I'll snag one in the next couple of months and satisfy our curiosities?! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

@@QuasiMotard Awesome! Looking forward to that!

Howdy, James, and congrats on your new 2022 PCX! The fuel economy will improve after the engine has broken-in a little bit. I noticed that my PCX150's economy improved after 600-800 miles. The Dr.Pulley sliders significantly improved the economy by nearly 15% for my mixed city/highway commuting duties.; it jumped from ~96 MPG to 115+ over the same commutes and road conditions. Variator sliders are generally lighter than factory rollers. OEM rollers that weigh 17-19g are typically replaced with sliders in the 12-14g range. The sliders' different shape makes them behave differently and alters how early the front variator pulley is forced closed (pinched together to make the belt ride higher in the groove) through centrifugal force. The lighter weight of the sliders gives you quicker acceleration from a stop, but the variator ramps are still squeezed tighter together during high-RPM operation (better top speed and lower engine RPM vs speed due to the "taller" front pulley ratio). Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

I live in Houston, TX and I have a 2021 PCX. My top speed was 70mph going downhill. I weigh approximately 90kg. I recently changed my roller weights to 17g vs the stock 19g. This has drastically increased my acceleration, but it lowered my avg mpg and my new top speed is about 64mph.

Congrats on your PCX125... ride that thing! The PCX's are fantastic commute tools if you can pick your routes to stay off of the really fast highways. I wish that Honda would import the newer Forza 300/350 to the USA because it would be a perfect commuter, IMHO. It's able to run 85+ MPH all day without any trouble, and the new rider aids (e.g., ABS, HSTC, adjustable windscreen, etc) give it significant advantages over the older/smaller scooters. It's slightly larger than the PCX, but it's not quite a maxi-scoot... and it gets very good fuel economy (in the 85 MPG range). 😉👍 --QM

64 miles is NOTHING! You should check out some of my scooter touring videos where I crush 400+ miles/day with the PCX! 🤣 ( One example here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqeghs6HqNTSYZc.html ). The seat is completely stock on this PCX. I'll add an AirHawk Cruiser seat pad for longer tours, but the original seat works fine for me as long as the duration isn't more than 3-4 hours at a stretch. Otherwise, I need that AirHawk or an extended leg stretch break every few hours. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

I am still running the factory sizes, but I have upgraded the tires to Michelin City Grip tires instead of the original IRC Hoop's. The Michelin's profile looks and feels a bit wider than the IRC's, and I noticed that the high-speed stability increased when I switched over. The original IRC's only had ~2K miles on them, but I was never impressed with their handling or wet grip. The PCX150 is a lightweight scoot with lots of surface area, so it does get bullied by the wind at higher speeds. I'm accustomed to it now after several thousand highway miles so it doesn't bother me too much. I also noticed that a light grip on the bars tends to help because I'm not putting any extra presssure/bias on the bars to influence the bike's natural line. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

@@QuasiMotard fkn eh i should upgrade them too. Thanks for the videos man, cool to see someone vlogging on the same year pcx 150 as i have!

Howdy, David! The screen that I have on my 2015 PCX150 is the National Cycle VStream Sport Touring (medium height): www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-sport-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161414 . It works very well, but I think the taller version might be better for reducing helmet noise and turbulence. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Howdy, Mark! Yes, my neighborhood in Katy was very fortunate. We had some downed trees and fences from wind damage, but we didn't have any flooding or power outages here. The adjacent neighborhoods and even Wal-Mart were out of power for about 24 hours. Everything around here seems to be back to normal now. 😉👍 --QM

Congrats on your PCX150! You and I are similar heights, so my comparisons should work for you. The screen that I have on my 2015 PCX150 is the National Cycle VStream Sport Touring (medium height): www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-sport-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161414 . I like the height of this screen, but I think that the Tall Touring screen would work better to reduce helmet turbulence: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-tall-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161415. I might add a MRA X-Creen Tour spoiler to the top of the NC sport screen to give some tunability... but that costs another $140! Ouch! I have the tall Givi D1130ST ( www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/givi-d1130st-d1136st-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=995157 ) on my 2016 PCX150, but I don't like it as much because the screen is too large and flimsy... it bounces and wobbles around too much at freeway speeds. The National Cycle screens are a bit more rigid and vertical so they don't flex as much. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

@@QuasiMotard thank you for the fast response. I'll be ordering the extra tall tonight

Forgot to ask if the windshield comes with a kit to move the mirrors?

Yes, the NC screens come with mirror relocation brackets that push the mirrors away from the sides of the screen during full left/right steering lock. They are just powder-coated metal plates, but they work perfectly! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Howdy, Joshua! The only mechanical or performance upgrades that I've installed are the Dr.Pulley variator kit and the National Cycle windscreen. I discussed the Dr.Pulley slider weights in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/neBjdr16ztmZZI0.html . The sliders that came with the Dr.Pulley variator kit were 12g, but I have since replaced them with 14g sliders. The top speed doesn't seem to be affected by the heavier weights, but the 12g sliders definitely gave faster acceleration. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Howdy, Austin! I've been running the factory-recommended Honda HP4M 10W-30 (or 10W-40) oil in this scooter since it was new. The HP4M is a semi-synthetic oil blend with molybednum for friction reduction. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

They sell wayyyyyy to many to be phased out.

I'm 5' 6" (29" inseam) and ~170 lbs riding weight with all my gear (helmet, jacket, boots, etc). 😉👍 --QM

I would LOVE to have one of the new Forza's here in the USA, but Honda doesn't (yet) import them here! The Integra 700/750, the X-ADV 750, and the new Forza 350 are also high on my list. If Honda ever decides to bring any of those to the States, then I'll drop a deposit for one as soon as the pre-orders are announced! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

@@QuasiMotard exactly. Forza 750 is the perfect commuting scooter/bike. Great look and better space management than Integra or ADV. I love maxi scooters because of their performance, practicality, and comfort. I was driving Piaggio Beverly 500 in past and I love it. Also was watching CTX 700 but Rebell 1100 is the perfect Bike with DCT. But I'm an afraid little bit of Rebell's comfort. I like to stretch my legs so I will love it more if Honda has the Shadow DCT version.

The screen that I have on my 2015 PCX150 is the National Cycle VStream Sport Touring (medium height): www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-sport-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161414 . I'm 5'7" (170 cm), and I like the height of this screen, but I think that the Tall Touring screen would work better to reduce helmet turbulence: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-tall-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161415. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Hello, and thanks for watching! This 2015 Honda PCX150 currently has 4434 miles (7136 km). The mileage is increasing slowly because I didn't ride this one very often over the past few years. I also spread out my commute miles across several different bikes and cars so they don't take a huge hit in mileage. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Howdy, Christopher! Our rides are always open-invitation, so anyone is welcome to join in the fun! I'll try to remember to drop you a note next time we're planning to ride up to Arkansas so maybe we can meet up somewhere. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

My 2015 and 2016 PCX150's hit the factory rev-limiter at 62-63 MPH. After installing different variator pieces (e.g., slider weights or variator ramps), the top speed was increased to 72-74 MPH without hitting the rev-limiter... now the top speed is drag-limited by air resistance. 😉👍 --QM

Thanks for the offer! I'll let you know if/when I'm ready to sell or trade it. My local dealer offered me $1850 for it a few months ago, so I'll see where the market stands in a few weeks. Cheers! 👍 --QM

You should get one! They are fantanstic little machines... very efficient and capable. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

I upgraded the rear shocks on this scooter to the YSS G-Sport shocks: bikerzbits.com/honda-pcx-150i-yss-g-sport-tg302-335trj-04.html . These didn't increase the travel, but the springs are stiffer and the shock is damped better to prevent bottoming-out. I purchased these through BikerzBits in Thailand: bikerzbits.com/ . Shipping is a bit slow and expensive from there, but you can also check Ebay, Webike Thailand ( thai.webike.net/en ), or Webike Japan ( japan.webike.net/ ) as alternate sources. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

@@QuasiMotardYour bike appears to cruise 70 to 80? Can you tell me did you change the variator and what weight rollers are you using and are they sliders or round? Sorry for all the questions but you seem to have it figured out..Thanks...Lou
