The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hi Dave, I'm 59, and tall for a woman at 5' 10". I'm also very slender. I think my main problem with the Titan was its performance in 1st gear....it's an older bike, and wouldn't keep running in first, unless you give it gas. Tricky for a novice to give the bike enough gas not to stall, and at...

Hi Sandy I feel for you! I am 56 at 5' 2" and I started riding about a year ago. My husband bought me a nice used Reflex which weighs about 375 pounds. We live on private roads alot of them gravel. I started practicing like crazy. I dropped the bike several times, got scraped up some and also ...

Firstly I don't understand why you have to have any kind of licensing to purchase a motorcycle . What if you intended it as a gift or buying it for your 140 acre farm never to be used on public roads..just private. At any rate, ask the dealer if you could test ride it around the lot if its big enou...

What are the instructors saying you are doing wrong? I would ask for a quick one on one for some tips. Google says the Honda CG150 Titan ES (never heard of it) has 31.2" seat height. This is probably the reason for dropping it if you are shorter. The Forza's 28.2" seat height and low cent...

Hi Sandy, I am in BC, Canada. What is a Honda Titan? I have never heard of that model in Canada? How tall are you? I am 5 foot 6 and ride a Honda Forza 300. The Forza is a very heavy scooter. I got mine because an Asian person dropped it in a parking lot and damaged it. Repairing the plastics is ex...

What exactly is the maneuver that you are executing, that you dropped the bike three times? Slow speed maneuvers and stopping in heavy rain. The course happens rain or shine, and so far I've trained in 35c degree weather, severe thunderstorms, hail and tornado warnings. A nice cool sunny day would ...

Sandymay, I don't think you made a mistake and I think the Forza would be an excellent first bike. They're very useful for transporting things like groceries and books, much more so than a motorcycle, especially if you add a topcase. I think the Forza handles just as well as the PCX at low speeds (...

Yes, it's the 2016 ABS model. Is your new Forza an ABS model? I found the Forza to be quite easy to ride in city traffic the day I rode it off of the dealer's lot. It has a pleasantly low center of gravity. Nevertheless, I would hope you do not take delivery of any new ride until you have demonstrat...

I am taking the College M1 exit course, and getting seat time on their bikes. Been doing this for the last three weekends.

Did I make a mistake getting it as my first bike? I'm worried about dropping it now. I do not have any friends or family with a bike, so the only way I can get my license is to keep taking the M1 exit course, for seat time and experience....I've taken it three times now, (past three weekends)...lear...

Does anyone know why it's no longer on the website....are they sold out? So glad I bought mine in April....expected delivery later this month....after I get my M2 (hopefully) next weekend.

Congrats!!!

I'll be doing my M1 exit test on a geared bike, not my Forza. The bikes are supplied with the course, and I understand they are a mixer of classic bikes, cruisers, sort bikes and dirt bikes. Apparently you get time learning on all types. This is the course I'm registered for.... http://ridertrainin...

Course is very easy and FUN. Four tips for you. Knees tight against the tank helps with balance. Turn your head and look where you want to go when turning and not at the ground. Eyes up at the horizon. 90° turn means turn your head 90° Unlike a bicycle, the left lever is not a brake. It will not ma...

Here in California M2 is for bikes under 150cc and M1 for bikes of 150cc or higher. When I was learning I got a riding permit, after passing the written motorcycle test, and rode my scooter for like a year. I did my test with the scoot I had at the time, a 1985 Yamaha Riva 180. A slight delay for y...

Thanks for the advise....did you find the course hard?

I did great on the M1, but of course it was all written...

Yep....I'm thinking of going with Riders Plus when I get my M2. Lowest quote, by $200.
