New strategic global model to be exported from Thailand to Japan, Europe and the U.S. beginning in 2010

Honda will begin sales of a new scooter model, PCX, in Thailand in November of this year through A. P. Honda Co., Ltd., a Honda affiliate responsible for distributing Honda motorcycle products in Thailand. Thai Honda Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Thai Honda), a Honda subsidiary that manufactures motorcycles, power products, and components in Thailand, will serve as the global manufacturing base for PCX and is planning to begin exports of PCX in early 2010, to other countries in the ASEAN region as well as other regions including Japan, Europe and the U.S.

OOOOH How exciting!!!!!!

Another Honda Hairdryer!!!

The PCX is equipped with a newly developed low-friction, water-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder 125 cc engine, achieving excellent fuel economy of approximately 50km/liter (ECE 40 MODE). The "idling stop system," which automatically stops the engine when the motorcycle comes to a temporary stop, was adopted to improve fuel economy (except for the U.S. model.) In addition, PCX conforms with Thailand's Emission Standards at level 6 as well as the current exhaust emission standards in Japan, Europe and the U.S. with Honda's electronic fuel injection system (PGM-FI*1) and a catalyst device (catalyzer) installed in the muffler.

Moreover, PCX will be the world's first*2 125 cc model which will be equipped with the ACG starter which combines a cell motor and alternating current generator and helps achieve the compact engine size and significant reduction of starting noise.

Pretty fugly..

I must admit I kinda like this concept tho

As theres no import duty on 250's now there really should be more larger scooters and ones with a bit more pull.. 125 is OK for 60kg Thais but struggles with full size farangs.

Why does the Zonesociety link lead back to the TV 'dead link' page?

Just copy and paste and its there..
