28 September 2012 - Honda is excited to announce the latest scooter arrival, the PCX150, which will be in Honda Dealerships nationally next week. While based on the already popular PCX125, the new PCX150 will offer riders more practicality and more fun.

The PCX150 was well received during its debut appearance at the Sydney Scooter Expo at HART St Ives last weekend. While interest was still ripe in the existing PCX125, the lure of an extra 25cc and the addition of Candy Rosy Red colour had scooter fans talking and cameras flashing.

Combining innovative technologies and unrivalled practicality, the PCX150 features a more powerful version of Honda's eSP (enhanced Smart Power) engine. This lightweight, liquid-cooled engine boasts a Honda PGM-FI fuel injection system which ensures seamless, effortless power delivery via the smooth V-belt transmission, while reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

Like the PCX125, the PCX150 features Honda's unique Idle Stop Switch. When enabled, the engine stops running automatically after three seconds at idle, and re-starts instantly when the throttle grip is twisted, this function assists the PCX150 achieve unrivalled fuel efficiency.

The unique front face and flowing lines of its bodywork give the PCX150 a dynamic and modern presence while the dark-tinted windscreen provides excellent wind protection. A low seat height and generous wheel base combine with a relaxed steering geometry to create a very reassuring and stable ride.

Ideal for daily commutes, the PCX150 boasts a lockable storage compartment under the seat which is large enough for a full-face helmet plus another useful storage space up the front which is perfect for smaller items.

Stylish, nimble and incredibly practical, this new scooter will be available in Candy Rosy Red, Asteroid Black Metallic and Pearl Himalaya White colours. Honda's new PCX150 has an incredibly competitive MLRP of $4,020 (excludes on road costs).
