just saw this story over on Cycle World...2021 Honda PCX is updated with 4 valve head and 7 cc bump to 157cc. ABS optional and comes in white only. Glad Honda is continuing to update scooters.

DO like that this Honda continues to put the brake fluid reservoir out where it's accessible. (Sadly - looks like they're still going with a rear drum even at this high price)
The Forza was the same with the handlebar and 2 reservoirs out in the open. Looks a bit cluttered with all the hoses exposed.....but really like the reservoirs being out there!

Pricey at $5K+ OTD for the ABS. Don't understand how ABS can be 'optional' for2021 - thought it was mandatory for anything over 125CC's for 2 yrs now in Europe?

It's already on the Honda USA website.
Still calling it the 150, but has a different size rear wheel (with a fatter tire so similar circumference), & the bigger motor.

I've been wondering if/when the ADV's going to get that motor.

I'm liking it, and agree about the naked handlebar - less so for brake maintenance, but more so for being able to clamp accessories like a dash/sports camera to the bar. I never drive without one, and the USB outlet will be especially handy for powering the camera if it's linked to the ignition.

Also agree with Tom about the drum brake, but remember that even the Big Ruckus used a drum brake for the rear. Gross.

I still want this PCX though and make it a keeper. I don't think my Mrs would let me though...
