Talking about comfort, I was going to complain about the seat being too hard then I realise I'm just tired from WFH. And the leg space Is the best coming from a sport bike. Need some control? Tuck your leg to the center, need to lift the pressure off your knee? Put your feet forward on the slope and rides like a cruiser! Happy with the bike.
First time motorcycle rider here and bought a 2022 PCX, so far I love it and it rides great!! I'm getting about 90 miles to the gallon which is just crazy!!
My wife just picked up a 22 pcx and I tend to steal it and leave my cbr650r at home 😂 it's a sweet scooter and a blast to ride around town. We took it on a 180 mile ride this weekend and it got 90mpg (actual mpg from filling up, riding and filling back up again and doing the math) that's crazy even for it not being broken in yet as it only has 450 miles on it.
Well done with this personal summary of your 150. I purchased a 2004 Silverwing, firstly, because it’s a Honda. Secondly, the price point was at a comfortable amount for me. But, before I took it on the road, I hauled it straight to my mechanic for a comprehensive servicing so I don’t get stuck on the side of the road. I specifically bought it for my daily commute to work and some nice weekend cruises to the beach. Ride on, brothers and sisters!
2 main reasons I've been researching this bike is the cost efficiency and comfort. I owned a Yamaha 650 and I too suffer with lower back pain, and when you said it doesn't effect your back I smiled from ear to ear. Going look for one tomorrow thanks man
2 years / 13,000 km..... hardly long term. I have over 50,000 km on my 2020 PCX 150 in two and a half years. No mods whatsoever, other than upgrade to Pirelli tyres as they needed replacement. Been reliable and economical over that time.
Pcx 150 2019 all stock here, and still running excellent at 50k mileage.. Just minor maintenance and your good :) Just don't modify such as tire size, CVT etc..
2012 150 since 2012-13. Only about 15-16000 km. Only break was a broken coolant hose at the overflow tank under the seat. Fixed it myself. Have replaced plug with a platinum NGK, coolant, brake fluid, brake pads, tires, batteries and oil all myself. Runs great. Cost initial was 76,000 baht in Thailand.
Thank you sa appreciation sir. Yan po originally ang plan ko, but only a few people like that idea so the whole channel failed na rin. I haven't updated the video list kasi wala na po nagpapa review. Both brands and fans like the personality focused reviews. Thank you so much po for watching.
The clutch bell shudder can be avoided if you don't put a lot of load when your going from a stop. Don't spool the motor while just sitting still. Partial throttle when taking off until the full engagement of the clutch. Minimize the work the clutch as much as possible and you can drill the clutch bell which can help reduce problems down the road. Have fun!
What do you mean when you say ‘don’t spool the engine’ I own a 2018 model on 20K miles and mine always shudders when setting off but it only does it when it’s cold?? Would you say this is a problem. It’s always done but didn’t think of anything because it disappears when it’s warm
@jesusacovarrubias1390 it's an option that some of the riders do in the Philippines, the goal, I think, is to increase the friction. Never really did that. I dont believe in it. I think it just damages the clutch.
In my neighborhood the choice also came down to two scooters in my price range. A 2022 Piaggio Liberty 150 or a 2020 Honda PCX 150. The Piaggio was probably more comfortable, but it felt clunky and awkward when I rode it. The Honda felt natural. And I can find a Honda dealer everywhere I go. Piaggio dealers are a little more widely spread. I'm buying a windshield and tail box. That's about all it needs.
I have owned my 2018 PCX for 2 months and I'm averaging close to 100 mpg, but I also don't drive it at top speed. In that case, it would be about 96 mpg
I have a 2013 Honda pcx 150 it's great around town and a blast to ride. No gears to change like on my Honda Rebel. I wouldn't trade the pcx for two of the Honda Rebels.
wow. you reached the CVT mod part of the video. THANK YOU, chief. Re the CVT, I was nervous that it'd fail at first, but as it turns out, it's worth every penny.
Great videos, thanks. Just bought a PCX125 here in France, and so far I love it. It is good to know what possible problems I may encounter in the future :p
30,000 on my 2019 pcx and i never felt shudder. The only problem I have is ags start which had a bad wire from ecm to alter/gen starter I had to repair twice.
Great review..im considering the 150 used market here in California and they seem to be around $2500-$3000.00 US.BTW..how did you configure the Audio voice that's on this vid?? Sounds like the voice on my Alexa app?? Thanks David
Hey! I still have my 150. Cant find any reason to replace it. Btw, it has been a dream of mine to take. My PCX (or any scoot, if allowed) on a long ride from Lakewood to San Francisco via the Pacific Coast Highway. It's just one of those bucket list that's probabky never going to happen because it's a logistical nightmare. Haha
I have a 2017 Honda PCX 150 and I love it. Thanks for sharing some of the pros and cons to be aware of as a honda owner. It is a great around town option. I am not sure about long term as the speed in the US needs to be 70 -75 and mine levels out at about 65. I love the 45 -50 feel while riding. Thanks for the review. BTW what size tire did you upgrade to?
Sir I have 3 motorcycles Honda PCX 150, Yamaha Aerox and R3 yun PCX ko 1month pa lng di ko na naantay yun PCX 160 gusto ko na kasi magkaroon ng PCX sir.
Hey! Had you considered ceramic coating your windscreen for water shedding and minor scratch resistance? I'm going to try on my new windscreen when it arrives!
Hey, how tall are you sir? I'm owner of pcx 22, and it feels not enough space (compare to the nmax) because my back rests to that seat sill. I'm 180 cm only though
Brother, my apologies for not knowing the answer to your question. I haven't updated this channel because I cant ride anymore. Just the same, thank you for visiting.
It's a great bike but it's definitely not a all day rider on long trips. The seat is just not extremely comfortable and I want to improve it's padded seat. Other than that I really love my PCX and I'm shooting for a long term runner. I'm hoping to get a hundred thousand miles before a worn out engine is worn out. Right now I'm at 20,000 on my 2019. I am going to find out!
Hi Chad. Sorry for the late revert. The side mirror is called Nemo Ducati locally. The windshield is Honda branded and I ordered from through a local supplier.
I am not sure. We do not have 125 cc here in the Philippines. You would be able to tell this later on. When your bike reaches 2000 (assuming it's new), it will shudder when you are between 1 to 15 KPH.
Sir ask ko lang po regarding sa windshield, mas na less na po ba windnoise nyo sa helmet simula ng nagpalit kayo ng long windshield ?? Sana po ma notice nyo . THANKS po ... ride safe po always

Mababaw, to be honest. Ayaw ko ng fairing na plasticky ang feel. I want the premium look. Pero in terms of performance, maganda ang ADV. matulin siya. Pang harabas. Other than that, wala akong masabi na masama sa adv. So again, it's more of a personal preference.

Great review. I purchased 2-2022 160's. I'm waiting to take delivery on them somti.e this week.
Wohoo! Im pretty sure youll have fun riding them.
I haven't heard any squeaky noises from my pcx 150..8000 klms later 😮

Does any body have an idea how many kilometers this Motor is good for in general, thinking about buying one with 24000 kilometers?
My bike is currently at 21000 plus kilometers. Well maintained though so there are no issues. Just make sure the bike has no engine and CVT issues.
What mirrors and windshield is that?
Hi Chad. Sorry for the late revert. The side mirror is called Nemo Ducati locally. The windshield is Honda branded and I ordered from through a local supplier.
I put the extra tall one on my 2013 pcx 150 from National Cycle $159.00 and it looks and does great.
Would you mind sharing the photo? I'm very curious. You can find me on facebook, Ride Alive. Same logo.

Hi sir. My apologies. For the sake of the channel, I am unable to mention the TTS brand I'm using.
Where did you get the crash bars from?
Hi. It's made in the Philippines. It's available in most motorcycle shops here.
Hi, please text to speech did you use and how much? I am looking for a real one to use
I own 2021 125 cc does it also have dragging ?
I am not sure. We do not have 125 cc here in the Philippines. You would be able to tell this later on. When your bike reaches 2000 (assuming it's new), it will shudder when you are between 1 to 15 KPH.
@@ridealive but does it always happen ? Or you were just unlucky ?
It happens. The dragging is a result of dirt. So you just need to clean your CVT. Or you can replace your CVT components.
@@ridealive thanks, hopefully it wont be an issue
It's a minor annoyance. But it helps a lot to clean the CVT every now and then, especially when it's alreasy shuddering.
Do you think 70’000 miles to too much
I would think it's too much. Are you buying one?
