Honda PCX150 Scooter First Test Review Video | Riders Domain

[@patmurphy389]

thank you for the review!! i just got mine today!! luv it!....after riding a honda metropolitan & ruckus, this is so nice!

[@RidersDomain]

Glad you enjoyed it and congrats on the new ride!

[@RidersDomain]

Hi Pat - that's great - yeah, it's nice to have a little extra get-up-and-go. Yet, this PCX is still easy to ride. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@patmurphy389]

Thank You!

[@Wolf_Mechanic]

For the longest time. I could never imagine myself riding a scooter. Thought they were dumb, tiny, lame. Now that I have one, it's the greatest thing I ever.

[@elisacasa_creations]

:) I also never imagined myself on a scooter as I owned a motorcycle for 2 years... but now thinking about it

[@migzz_bd24punches28]

Have you ride it in the winter?

[@Lee-70ish]

Likewise I was a Rocker in the late 60s so hairdriers as we called scooters were the enemy. At 66 I've just bought a PCX125 They are vastly better than the old Lambretta and Vespa dogs. How times change.

[@Savvce]

Seriously

[@Savvce]

Same here

[@tomfromnorthcarolina1491]

This is a real review, unlike the robotic voice overs that simply read the specifications. This review gave real world information and discussed why certain features were important while others less so. I wish I could find more reviews like this.

[@RidersDomain]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. - Byron

[@mickbuxton5718]

Amazing little machine.Rode various bikes for 63 years,Legs not strong enough for many bikes now, so bought the PCX. Quite amazed at its performance.

[@robertsalyers1351]

Just picked mine up yesterday put 14 miles on it riding home from the Dealership...wow...this thing is cooool

[@taylormordoch9802]

I still got my 2011 Honda PCX, 27,000 miles on it. Still runs strong and smooth

[@emmabazic4775]

I need it to buy it how can I buy it

[@scottangel5135]

I have a 2016 and it is great for running around the city. Its so easy and predictable to ride and park. Fun!

[@RidersDomain]

We certainly agree!

[@Austinphoenix14]

This video sealed the deal for me. I purchased a 2018 pcx 150 last May and couldn't be happier. Your review presented all the features and performance aspects in a precise and visually stunning way. A great urban chariot. Thanks

[@alexcrouch9]

One thing to note for taller riders like me at 6'3 is that the PCX 150 is one of the only scooters where my knees didn't start to get up into the handlebars. I think it's probably designed primarily for the average height rider, but I'm still really comfortable on the PCX.

[@RidersDomain]

Thanks for the note! It definitely has broad appeal in terms of its size, I could also imagine riders much smaller than me at 6' feeling right at home on the PCX.

[@upinsmoke333]

@alexcrouch9 Thanks for that. Im 6'1" at 225lbs. Is my weight an issue?

[@alexcrouch9]

Kastmaster 2000 I don't know. I'm a bean pole at 180 lbs. The only thing I would expect that to affect is speed by a few mph and maybe seat comfort would be a little different.

[@jg5001]

Kastmaster 2000 I'm 5'10" at 135lb so I think I can eek out a top speed of around 70mph. About to get this bike, so excited!

[@rabonour]

That's good to know - I'm thinking about picking up a scooter, but at a hair over 6' I'm definitely conscious of getting one with some legroom.

[@BikeTall]

I just took the MSF course and plan to get one of these. Was going to get a Vespa, but at nearly half the cost with more features, the PCX was a no brainer.

[@RidersDomain]

Thanks for sharing your story - did you ever end up purchasing one of these scooters?

[@mikeo1567]

Been riding a 2013 PCX 150 for 4 years now with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

Sweet. 👍

[@mustangpilot6786]

Just bought a 2022 Honda PCX and it rocks!! 90mpg and speeds up to 65mph, its perfect!!

[@jesuisravi]

I've had one of these PCX's since 2014. It has never let me down.

[@TheReesew1974]

Best review I've heard all year.

[@robertsalyers1351]

I've had mine for 11 months now I've put about 400 miles on her and I am very excited the weather is getting warmer This 153cc scooter is just plain Fun I've owned Motorcycles from 600 cc sports bikes to big Harleys And this one is more fun than any of them

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

👍

[@owloped405]

My Saturday errands. The bank. Post office. The farmer's market. Lunch. My commute to work. Food shopping for two. I've put hamburgers and shakes in a tray in the tub and they stay upright. Honest. You volunteer to go out to get that missing ingredient for dinner. I've ridden it in high 30's and low 40 degree temps and it turns right over. The engine doesn't get hot in summer. No shifting. Breaks are great. Going into my third year riding it and after 12,000 miles it's going strong. Replaced the front tire and get regular maintenance. And it really does get between 80 and 100 miles per gallon. Note: If you over stuff the seat and cannot get it open just push down on the seat and hit the release. I had to google that once when it happened to me. Scooters are underutilized transit tools in the USA but they are a lot of fun. You need a motorcycle license to ride it. I took the safety course and practiced a lot in a parking lot with the aid of "Ride like a Pro" practice DVD for motorcycles. Break and throttle works with scooters for slow riding and superior control. I would just say respect it. Cornering in twistees is not like a bicycle. It rides like an easy to ride motorcycle but with the same physics so you need to understand cornering. Scooters are sometimes treated like the safe, shallow end of the pool but respect for being on two wheels is always needed. So don't just ''twist and go'' but practice and go slow on turns until you really get the feel for cornering and take the safety course. Took me about 1,000 miles to feel comfortable, but that included practicing a lot in parking lots doing emergency breaking and balance and cornering. One day I was diverted into a construction zone and was very happy I practiced going around cones in a lot cause ditches would not be fun to fall in. Honestly, if you've been thinking about getting a bike as I was for about 40 years, but not sure about shifting and the complexity and weight of a motorcycle, this is a great way to go.

[@tbillyjoeroth]

Post office? I bet you write checks at the grocery store, too.

[@cocoloco65482]

The Best Advice for someone trying to get on two wheels!!. A lot of people are undecided and think too much about the stigma that comes associated with this wonderful little machines to be ready to own one..... filling up with 5 dollars a week and paying like 150 on insurance a year lets you save a Lot!! But of course there's always the fools that will recommend you to minimum start on a 600cc because you'll easily get bored, smho. More important in this times of crisis than ever to save!!

[@mavicpilot1908]

Excellent , very thorough review ! I've been researching , riding numerous scooters lately. Hands down, the PCX 150 is easily the best one I've ridden. It's an absolute pleasure to zip around on . Honda quality speaks for itself . I ordered a 2018 in pearl white :) , I should have it in a few weeks 👍 I can't wait !

[@RidersDomain]

That's awesome - glad you enjoyed the review - ride safe!

[@AGreen-ug9oi]

Exactly what I want a scooter for - checking off local todo lists while not using up all the gas. Not being xtra cool and what not. I am just over 6', so it was very good to hear and see your height in comparison. Also to see the underseat storage in use for both the helmet and shopping bags was useful. An excellent review. Actually, the best I've seen.

[@RidersDomain]

Thanks for the note! Machines like this definitely have a place and purpose. - Byron

[@hissrace]

I have been looking for a 150 cc - 180 cc scoot to go with my RV mostly. I have seen many reviews and this is the best I have seen so far. Nice job.

[@papabear101745]

Love my 2019 Honda PCX150........85 MPG.....65 MPH....

[@scottgoodson5132]

I’m thinking hard about getting a 2019.

[@my_rats_esaped]

I live in Jersey, is the practical to drive on the turnpike or parkway?

[@danieldanix1]

Thanx Byron for the excellent presentation on the Honda PCX-150 scooter. I just luv it, I plan on getting one anytime soon. Ya man!! Your Jamaican brotha, Peace.

[@RidersDomain]

Glad you enjoyed! Let us know when you get your hands on one, would love to hear how it works for you. -Byron

[@freddievanniekerk4123]

Almost on 20 000 km on mine love it ride it every day 46km/liter.

[@MI-me3pt]

This scooter will take across the country, look at the scooter cannonballs from the past few years. It will not do high speeds but it will definitely get you there.

[@charlesdwilson2112]

Purchased a 2015 Honda PCX150 Metallic Black July 2017. Did some mods as in: Givi windscreen-NCY variator kit 13g rollers face plate and variator-Leo Vince Corsa exhaust. I enjoy it. Great ride and comfortable. So far max speed GPS was 75mph. I can run highway speeds (55-65mph) no issues and even hit freeway/interstate speeds (65-70mph) but prefer not to. Scooter/bike is a little light for the freeway/interstate runs. I am just getting into the scooter/bike scene and purchased a Tao Tao Powermax VIP150 to make sure I could handle something before I purchased a higher priced scooter/bike. I have a disability that prevents me from riding a bike/scooter to heavy or big and the Honda PCX fits the bill. As a consumer there is a market for scooter/bikes to be tapped. Biggest issue is advertising is not well known. yes this review helped me decide and a lot of others reviews on the Honda PCX. If you can ...find a Suzuki Burgman 200 to test as it may be my next test and I do plan on keeping the PCX. Three Scooter/bikes I am looking into are the 2018 Kymco Xtown 300i - 2018 Yamaha Xmax 300 - 2018 Suzuki Burgman 200. Also Sym Citicom 300. Thanks in advance.

[@whiskypapz6666]

Thanks for the great content about the PCX 150. Mine is a 2018 silver Honda PCX 150. I love this bike. Honda PCX rules!

[@jeromecabral8440]

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these

[@robertsalyers1351]

I am 49 years old and 5' 9" tall about 195 lbs....this thing has plenty of power to hall me around no problem... I've only gotten her up to about 55 mph but still had more throttle left...gently breaking her in for now...LoL

[@ijl66]

Thinking of hiring one of these on holiday.One scooter between us. Me and my son both over 6' combined weight of 350lbs Has it got the power?!

[@robertsalyers1351]

@@ijl66 I probably would recommend a 300 cc scooter if you're doing 2 up riding for more than say 10 miles The PCX 150 could do it but I sure it has a weight limit not sure what that limit is... Honda. Com ??

[@MellisaDormoy]

Thanks for this wonderful review. I have a Honda motorcycle but am considering a scooter.. this was a nice review and let me know all the features. THANKS! And I loved the fact you mentioned automatic and rider height - that's an important factor for me.

[@RidersDomain]

Glad you enjoyed! You'll have a lot of fun on something like this, I sure did! - Byron

[@elisacasa_creations]

Happy to hear that... I am also a motocycle rider but i am selling my kawazaki ninja and considering this Honda PCX scooter as i am finding it more practical... specially that I am a bit short for high bikes ... Advise me please

I love mine can't wait for Spring Vroom, Vroom

[@a.toniboysmith7360]

I haven't been on a Honda 150 scooter in years. When I saw this new 150 Honda scooter, I gotta have one.

[@robertsalyers1351]

Get one

[@Billysbarbersoffical]

I got the pcx 125cc i hit 68mph on that So how can this only to 65mph being a 150cc

[@couchpoet1]

Waiting for the ADV150

[@Beauxpattison]

Thank you for the review! I’ve decided that I want to get a scooter and so far the PCX 150 is at the top of my list.

[@catfish24]

These are great to ride around town or take it to a beach side city and go site seeing who wants to ride a thousand pound motorcycle in stop and go traffic these scooters are much better and they get around 100 miles per gallon.

[@monelfunkawitz3966]

I picked up my 2018 Sept 15th with 1126mi on it. I now have 2184. Everything on this video is 100% true, it is a BLAST.

[@donniedarko1345]

Thank you for this informative review. I'll be picking this up in the next few days!

[@RidersDomain]

Congrats! You're going to have a great time with this one.

[@donniedarko1345]

Gonna have a blast! I live in San Diego...never rains and the weather is always "scooter perfect". Great to get around and cruse coast highway on the weekends.

[@RidersDomain]

Looking at a grey day here in southern Oregon got to say we're a little jealous! Have fun out there.

[@68pointbreak]

I have a 2017. Luv it. Thanks for the review. Be safe!

[@RidersDomain]

Awesome! You stay safe out there as well. - Byron

[@68pointbreak]

Riders Domain Thanks . When it 1st came out a few yrs ago at 125cc and only white and cherry red. I knew I wanted one. Glad I waited till summer 2016 and got 2017 and dark blue. Me and my daughter enjoy riding it . Be safe out there everyone.

[@RidersDomain]

That's awesome, especially getting to share the experience with your daughter! Take care and thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the bike. - Byron

[@cbry_82]

EXACTLY!!!! It's a Cadillac! Timeless and reliable.... I'm about to get mine tomorrow (PCX150)... and I'm thinking this bike would be in my stable for a while.... Not as exclusive as a Vespa, but it's there (in that ranking), it's there...

[@sunrisesurfbum]

Excellent review actually!

[@bigeyetuna1]

Great review on the Honda PCX 150. When I see the PCX, I kind a seen it like a Honda Fit of scooters. Lol Its economical, frugal on gas, lots of storage just like the Fit. Are you going to do any accessories like bigger windscreen for the PCX?

[@RidersDomain]

Unfortunately no accessories this time around, our test unit had to go back home. The PCX definitely checks a lot of practical boxes, was really pleased with the time I got to spend with it! - Byron

[@clijeron1973]

Thank you for such informational video ! You should get a commission on sales. I bought mine today, mainly in part for the information provided on this video . Thanks again !!!

[@blengravers]

Nice scooter, just wish Honda would bring to the states their many other scooters.

[@darwinstevens810]

This is really nice for someone who us small since motorcycles are more likely to be dangerous. Some suggest people less then 140lbs shouldn't ride a motorcycle. This is a happy medium since I don't plan to drive long distance or on the highway.

[@conceptcs]

great for the bay area

[@RidersDomain]

Couldn't agree more! - Byron

[@Wolf_Mechanic]

I'm in Tampa, my scooter is perfect for the roads here.

[@robertpresti4366]

This is gonna be my next scooter after having my 09 Yamaha Vino 125 with over 18,500 miles and still going strong. The Pcx 150 will give me more room and comfort as well as power.

[@RidersDomain]

Sounds like a solid plan, let us know what you think when you get your hands on one! -Byron

[@captsubtle]

My first ride was the 2013 model of this in candy red. Had just over a gallon tank, maybe 1.4 with reserve, but still got 90-100 mpg. I did plenty of motorcycle group rides on it, and while it was slow to get to highway speeds, it could keep up if everyone was going 65 or so. I'm surprised they kept an analog panel, as I thought the 2015 or 2016 went digital. Either way, it was a great first "bike" and a ton of fun around town. I eventually upgraded to a Kawasaki Vulcan S, to do more group rides and more highway travel, but I do miss that storage!

[@RidersDomain]

Hard to beat that storage, that's for sure! How are you liking that Vulcan S? I got to ride one a while back and thought it was a lot of fun too, definitely a different type of appeal than the scooter but nice nonetheless - Byron

[@captsubtle]

Love it! It was a quick learn even though it'd been 3 years since my MSF course, and even with 3,500 miles on it, I'm still always finding ways to be a better rider. The thing just sings at high speeds, and now that the engine is broken in, really likes being shifted at higher RPM (I'm not a "motorcycle guy" but I know the engine comes from Kawi's sport bike, so that makes sense). And the ergo-fit adjustability is set up really well, particularly for us shorter folk. Lots of after-market accessories, too, though the OEM ones from Kawasaki are pricier than they should be. Couldn't recommend it more highly!

[@Nooziterp1]

For owners in Europe, I think you will find it was made in Italy. I have a Honda Forza 350 that was made in Italy so it stands a chance the PCX was too. The reason being Italy is Europe's biggest market for scooters so it makes sense for them to be made there. Fine, as long as Honda oversee production so they have the normal Honda quality.

[@RidersDomain]

Couldn't have said it better myself! - Byron

[@ridinmontana4k554]

Great review. I have a 2019 PCX 150 in Indonesia and an Smax 155 in the states and they are two different animals. You nailed the key points of the PCX. It surprisingly absorbs the road and has the "grandma's Cadillac" feeling. It also has smooth acceleration even if your too aggressive on the throttle. By contrast, the Smax uses a mid-shock and is motorcycle like tight in the suspension, and with a bit more power and wider tires, I find it better for the U.S. riding needs because you can cruise comfortably at 70mph with the confidence of 328lbs wet to keep you planted to the road at high speed. The PCX in Indonesia does have disc brakes front and back and is key-less.

[@MVPProductionsBeats]

can this hold 2 people? My main goal is to get a scooter that doesn't require a bike license that can hold 2

[@RidersDomain]

I don't see a problem holding 2 on this one. I didn't ride two-up while we were testing, but the seat is a good size and would be well-suited for scooting around town with a passenger. - Byron

[@JohnBraman413]

not sure where you live, but here in massachusetts you need a motorcycle license for anything over 50cc.

[@scottgoodson5132]

I Agree. Most every state requires a motorcycle license for anything above 50cc. Check laws in the state you live in.

[@andydixon141]

Great review. Thank you

[@cocococo9881]

I plan to get one when I'm older, my only question is can it take on a freeway? Or should I get a slight a 200cc that can take it on?

[@RidersDomain]

If you're going to do a lot of freeway time, I'd suggest getting something a little bit bigger. - Byron
