新型ホンダPCX125／160　新旧PCX比較試乗インプレッション

The PCX (125) debuted in 2009 (2010 in Japan) as the first bike in its class to feature an idling stop function. The highway-capable PCX150 followed in 2012. In 2014, it achieved the first full LED lighting. In 2018, it underwent a full model change, including a frame change. With the introduction of hybrid and electric models, the PCX has firmly established itself as synonymous with "advanced features." The 2021 model further pursues the traditional "personal comfort saloon" concept by thoroughly improving comfort. It underwent a major full model change, including a redesigned frame and a four-valve engine. A media photoshoot and test ride event was held in Yokohama on December 10, 2020, where the Young Machine team brought the conventional PCX125/150 for an in-depth comparison.
