The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Saying farewell to the red PCX. It was a fun ride and miserly on gas but it's shortcomings resulted in it losing it's place in the garage. I used it mainly for commuting to work (16 mile round trip) and short jaunts around town for a little over a year but I missed touring on two wheels. While it's ...

Figures... I buy a PCX 150 and Honda releases a bigger version, the Forza with 297ccs. Had I known this would be released a year later, I would have waited. Looks like a bigger version of the little PCX and have the power for comfortable two-up riding around town and short bursts on the highway. I w...

^^^LOL!^^^

Not really BS, ref: page 32, http://www.msf-usa.org/curriculummaterials/brc_handbook_vs71_noprint.pdf "Crash studies show that running off the road, usually in a curve, accounts for 37 percent* of total motorcycle fatalities. This is the primary situation in which motorcyclists have single vehi...

So hopefully I'm under the correct assumption that the Kappa top cases are compatible with Givi mounts, Monolock in this case. So as long as the mount/case are both Monolock or both Monokey, they're compatible across Givi and Kappa. Correct me if I'm wrong here. That said, is anyone here using a Kap...

Me thinks matte gold powder coated wheels would look ace on the red or black scoots.

Thanks for the info Slickvic. and cool helmet!

slickvic - do you lose any cargo capacity in the underseat storage with the new seat? Hard to tell from the pics.

The stock seat is shaped on the underside at the front to accomodate a helmet.

All I know is that my scoot is cheaper to ride (gas-wise) than my F650 - 45mpg- and way, way cheaper than driving my truck - 17mpg

Riding to work I get about two weeks out of a tank and with a fill up costing less than $5, I'm a happy camper.

I've only been in my current city for a few months and I've noticed that around the university and the hospital that the scooters are parked close to building entrances and not in a parking lot/garage. Usually with the bicycles and most of those are small 50cc scooters and about half of them have a ...

Yes, please post more on the JCosta exhaust for the 150. And part #.

thanks

So recently, I've been seeing news reports of smaller scooters being stolen. Mostly 50cc scoots that can easily man-handled by two people into a waiting van or truck. The PCX is a bit larger and heavier so I think it'd be less of a target for thieves or maybe I'm wrong. The ignition shroud is a thef...

I have similar gloves from Performance and Voler that I sometimes use on my scoot/mowersickle. In fact, I often use some of my cycling gear when I go motorized. Granted, you're not gonna get the protection of a full leather glove that you'll need in a much higher velocity get-off on a motorbike.

Cell phone and debit card.

I carry a much larger and comprehensive tool kit on my mowersickle. The scoot is only the basics but that Slime flat tire kit looks interesting. Looks small enough.

aw hell... they pulled the vid. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I have cable for internet service only. I get phone service and watch TV through the innerwebs. Cable TV is a scam.

I have an LED brake light replacement on my F650 that flashes before going solid. Can't remember the manufacturer at the moment but it would be nice if there was something similar for the lil' PCX.

That seat looks nice! How long did it take to be delivered? Any customs fees?

Those bags look pretty decent but I'd like to know more about the mounting system, weather seals, locking mechanism, etc.

Yup, twistedthrottle is a good outfit. Bought from them several times. Great service.

What's up dinamisu? This is Ranier or commo_soulja from the Chain Gang forums and formerly from Norcal. Great to see you here!
