Yamaha is diving into the PCX pool.

A couple of things I like about it. 2 gallon fuel tank is pretty generous for a 150. That cooling air intake looks cool, too,

I wish it came in other colors.

I have heard comments on other sites that it appears to be a little short of legroom.
Perhaps the girl in the pic is riding with one of those superlow seats to help her reach
the ground with her feet.

It is a good looking scooter, and Yamaha knows how to build stuff that will run a long time, but the first time I looked at it, I wondered about what wheelbender6 brought up. They say 'spacious design'.....that might depend on whether you are 5'3" and 108 lbs, or 6'0" and 220 lbs.

MSRP..$3690.....I could have bought 3 of my scooters for that....and I guess that would have provided me with a lifetime supply of factory new spare parts.

Yes...it is a nice scoot.....but I don't think I'll be out shopping for one
