The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I met a local guy at my Honda dealer with another 2014 Forza w/o ABS and he says his stock Forza hits the rev limiter right at 87 mph on his on level ground and he is a pretty big guy. He also said it gets up to 80 mph pretty quickly but then slowly after that. Big hills can slow things down a bit....

No recall notice as yet but rang the dealers to book mine in, as I want it done on a Saturday I have to book 2 weeks in advance. Dealers said they couldn't do without the notice but I explained my VIN comes up on the recall site and it instructs I contact my dealers! He said that as I was booking i...

A heavier bike is pretty nice on a long highway trip. Out here in the midwest, you have fairly high winds sometimes. A heavier bike generally doesn't get blown around as much on a windy day as a lighter bike. More substantial bikes deal with wind gusts from passing 18-wheelers better, etc. In city ...

Just had my recall notice from Honda Canada - last 4 digits of VIN is XXXXXXXX0315. Could not come at a worse time with weather just turning to snow and ice here. Oh well as they say, sh** happens!

I'd recommend you drive up North from Toronto on Hwy 400 then 69 to Sudbury, then Hwy 17 West to Sault.Ste Marie . It is very pretty specially if you go even further North of the Soo by Lake Superior. Awesome scenery! Z Maybe that's a spring warm-up trip! Looking at the map I was also thinking that...

The major drawbacks with the Forza as a tourer are: Lack of power for tackling big hills and mountains Lack of storage space (I can just about get all I need for three days under the seat) - a top box and/or back pack will extend your luggage carrying capacity Lack of range - I get about 250-60 Km ...

The Forza can handle that but it doesn't seem like the optimal use of a scooter. Thanks Yak - one other item I have to consider is roadside assistance which is not given or offered I b Canada with the exception of BMW which gives North American coverage. I asked Honda on a plant tour and was told i...

Just below freezing here in Toronto so going out as roads still dry. I know it's only days away from hibernation time though!

So I am looking at a trip that's going to be in the region of 10,000km next year. While it's obvious that it would be better on something bigger than the Forza, I wanted to know any experiences people have had with long trips. Any advice on long trips and did anyone move up to something bigger - but...

Rotate the grounded front wheel occasionally to avoid a flat spot and inflate tires fully or a couple pounds more even.

Get a Starbucks on the road!

Loving the new Forza after a couple of days but having occasional starting problems that seems to be related to the seat. Just won't start every time after I have been under the seat to store or remove something like the helmet. Have checked and seat is definately closed properly. With a bit of open...

Are there any standards in the racks or are they all different according to brand? If you buy Honda rack will Givi fit or is there no compatibility between brands?

Thanks for all the responses. I bought a Forza and had it delivered today. The Honda dealer that could not get helmets to fit under set did not get my business as I was able to do very easily at another which knew how to fit them. Clyde at Moteretta here in Toronto is amazing and really knows his pr...

I was very much looking forward to buying a Forza after successfully completing rider training this past weekend. It was a huge disappointment to visit the showroom and I could not fit any of the new helmets on display under the seat. I had bought a Bell Mag9 and have a Shoei full face that I got fr...
