The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

As per fish's request I'm putting up some pics I've taken of, and while riding the Golden Gal, aka Ron Jeremy, in and around my town in the Highlands of Vietnam (Coffee Country), day and night, rural and urban. Kind of a mishmash of photos - so if you see one that piques your interest ask away... I ...

Soon as I have saved $1020 I'm throwing the key back at the boss, and buying me just that.

And this 2012 model (a bit old) can be had for on or about said price.

Here in Vietnam it halved in price to 51c/litre for 95 unleaded.

A pleasant surprise when I last filled up.

But I've discovered a guy, through a friend, that laughed at the prices the Honda dealership quoted for a full service, replacement of rear shocks and exhaust. He re...

Cheers!

I've replaced a couple of bits and bobs, and a rear tyre (which he won't pay for) and had the exhaust repaired - all at minimal cost....

I've got the 2013 PCX150 with the rather rubbish seat, but since I lease it from my boss I'm not going to go overboard on upgrades and repairs. However I will need to get the seat recovered soon - currently it's brown. Would you recommend keeping it brown, or going black? https://ibb.co/300LkRB <IT-...
