Honda Australia has confirmed its PCX150 scooter – one that shares all the virtues of the PCX125 but with a larger capacity engine – will go on sale down under in early October, 2012 for $4020.
The PCX150 has a 152.9cc single-cylinder fuel-injected powerplant, complete with 58.0/57.99mm bore and stroke and 10.6:1 compression ratio (down from 11:1 on the PCX125).
Honda doesn’t quote performance figures, but the 150 should easily eclipse the 125’s 11.6Nm by a decent margin, which will please the part-time highway enthusiast.
Honda already has a 150cc scooter in its ranks, the SH150i, but it has larger 16-inch wheels compared to the PCX’s 14.
The PCX150 will be available in three liveries: red, black metallic or pearl.
