More Than Meets The Eye.

It Doesn’t Get Any Easier Than This.

2011 Honda PCX 125 Features
Parking Versatility The PCX gives you the choice of both a sidestand and a centerstand. That makes it easy to park for a fast dash into a store (the sidestand) or when you need to park it upright in a tight space (the centerstand). With a lot of other scooters, you only get one or the other.
PGM-FI Engine - With plenty of power to carry you and a passenger too, the PCX features liquid cooling and Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) for great performance in all traffic conditions. Plus PCX offers some impressive fuel economy too!
V-Matic Transmission - With the Honda V-Matic automatic transmission, riding couldn't be easier. Just start the engine, twist the gas, and go. The V-Matic means no shifting, ever – so you concentrate on the road ahead and simply enjoy the ride! The V-matic is a continuously variable design, so you'll never feel it lurch from one gear to another. Smooth.
Convenient Storage - Flip that seat open and you have room for a full-face helmet and enough groceries for Thanksgiving dinner. The main compartment locks for security, and is weather-resistant too. There's even a second compartment in the dash for your mobile phone, wallet, or MP3 player.
Rider Comfort - That long, plush seat does more than just look comfortable it's probably nicer than that sofa in your living room. The stepped passenger section gives your copilot a better view. Besides great style, PCX's bodywork is all about function to help protect you from the wind and the elements. Add a helmet, gloves and a jacket and long pants, and you're good to go!
The PCX's standard Combined Braking System (CBS) links the rear brake to the front for sure stopping power. Squeezing the rear brake lever activates the rear brake as you would expect; however, the CBS automatically applies some front brake for additional stopping power.
Electric Start Reliable electric start, combined with an automatic choke, ensures hassle-free starting with push-button ease, even on cold mornings.
