Anybody knows for what PCX stands for?

Honda PCX stands for Honda Personal Comfort Xaloon. Xaloon as in 'saloon'.

Started shopping around Pattaya for a PXC 150.
I went to 4 dealers and all 4 agreed that the performance of the 150 is only very slightly higher than the 125. Looking at the technical specs. of both I read engines stokes are the same. The 150 has a 6mm larger piston diameter. The compression ratio on the 150 is lower than the 125. This reduction reduces the load on the rest of the engine and transmission (and the power output). So the torque will hardly have changed -Hence the comments from the dealers.What has changed is the price.Originally 70000 Baht -now 795000 baht. A lot of extra money for a slightly larger piston. Not surprising that Honda do not publish performance data on the150 engine

I understand where SutusB25 is coming from. The extra 9500 baht (US$293) for an additional 25cc of engine displacement hardly seems a fair trade. There will undoubtedly be an extension in engine longetivity and perhaps a small improvement in performance on hills, but is it worth an extra US$300? Any increase in top speed is probably a speed governor issue and not power related.

When we look at the bike from a marketing perspective though, it's already a high end of the 'normal' scooter range, so those who are wanting something a little extra over the standard Honda and Yamaha scooters are willing to pay extra. If you don't want to pay 79,000 baht for a scooter: don't! Buy a Wave, or Click, or Fino or Scoopy.

Where the PCX fails in a big way is the seat. It was supposed to be a 'world bike' for Asia, Europe and North America - but although the wheelbase, frame and capacity are superior to the 'normal' 125cc scooters, the ergonomics of the bike are definitely for Asian people. North Americans and Europeans are for the most part taller and heavier than Asians. The truth is that without modifications, the Wave is more comfortable to sit on than the PCX for anyone over 5 foot 9 inches.

Honda: Hear me! Get rid of that stupid hump and let the taller riders slide back a bit. The PCX could be so much more than it is with just a little tweaking that wouldn't cost anything on the production line.

It's seems that Honda has stopped the sales of the PCX 125i, of course with the Honda PCX150i being nearly the same price, it would be a bit unlogic to sell them both. Honda is still producing the PCX125i for export to some countries.

Also, we uploaded the English owner's manual for the Honda PCX150i, see our download section Honda PCX150i Owner's Manual in English language.

Does anyone other have bad experience with PCX 150?
Anyone know the price in Pattaya now?

Sorry we don't know the exact price for which dealers in Pattaya sell the Honda PCX150, but what we can say is that the PCX150 is one of Honda's best selling scooters, and the quality of the scoot is very good.

Actually we hear no complains about the PCX150

Good.
Some months ago I visit 2 places and they want 72000-74500 Bath.
Anyone know what it costs to insure it for a year?
