Are there any 2013 Honda PCX150 owners? Happy with the scooter? Performance? Top speed? MPG? Any problems? Ease of maintenance? Is it a good deal for $3,500 new?

I moved this Saferider because you weren't needing mechanical help but rather asking about the scooter in general. I thought more people could see it and respond here. I've not had any dealings with this scooter, sorry.

My friend has one! She loves it, and she's a scoot-leek. She probably did 1000miles on it already, without ever even passing by the garage. So I presume either her husband, or her dealer did the oil changes on them, or the bike just never had any oil change since purchase. For gas mileage, I usually check fuelly. Many results are off, due to low amount of fuelups, or just incorrect fuelups, but generally from 6 fuel ups and more you can get quite an accurate result of their gas mileage! Only thing is, fuelly does not say if the rider rides economically, or like a maniac, which easily shaves off 20 numbers on the MPG counter! www.fuelly.com/motorcycle/honda/pcx150From the MPG numbers it's in the 80+ category. |

Yes...$3500.00 brand new is a GREAT price! I looked @ them before I purchased a Kymco Super 8 150cc The problem with Honda dealers is fees! They are INSANE! They wanted list price (ok...I'm fine with that), then they wanted $300.00 for freight, another $220.00 in dealer prep & finally $125.00 in document fee! I said to them....Look..I'll do retail & $100.00 for freight & that's it! They said no way. I tried another dealer 30 minutes away & got the same answer. Great scooter with wonderful gas mileage (near 90MPG) yes...that's not a typo!
If you can score it for that type of money...do it! God knows I would have.

I don't own one but they are generally highly thought of as are most Honda products. Dealer fees will vary, some dealers give them away at sticker, some don't, its the luck of your location. But there is a pretty big thread on them at ADVRider forum if you want more information.
