The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

i thought it was a good read - the 50 list above, not 50 shades of badly written hype

I've ridden in the rain since the first day I bought a scooter, I was going to wimp out but decided its better to just get on it and go! I don't mind riding in the rain at all, just take it slower around the bends and leave a bigger stopping gap! Oh and I use the combined brake more than the front! ...

You absolutely have to try on the helmets, I was a large in the cheap box scope helmet I had and it fitted perfectly! When I bought the new caberg ego I couldn't even get the large on my head!! I got the XL and that fits perfectly! Shoei, arai and shark didn't fit well at all which was a shame as I'...

I've read that's common on a few american mountainbike forums! Over here the right is always the front brake, I'd probably be having some scary moments if I was to mix them up

Can I have a go? ...................................... Not ridden a PCX yet!

And three years warranty. But short service intervals. Kymco are also at the bargain end of the market and worth a look. I looked at loads of scooters before I decided on the pcx (which I invariably didn't get) and the next on the list was a kymco super 8 or the agility city, could get both for £17...

If you haven't driven/ridden around the local roads you'll find it hard to figure out where to go, its completely different if you're walking it or as a passenger in a car. Practice will help, just have a ride around on a sunday to familiarise yourself with it, you don't want to be all over the plac...

so youve got the silver and black one? i like that one but i had the choice of the white and black one i bought or solid black and i dont like solid black helmets. how good is that top vent? i never sweat in it! the old helmet used to make my hair soaking when i took it off!

i prefer hardtail for the speed and i dont ride as much gnarly stuff anymore. Thats the actual Merida world championship carbon bike from 2010, rides fantastic and weighs less than most road bikes. Unfortunately its up for sale as i need the cash to pay for the S-Wing. got my eye on a Merida 29er ha...

ok so it doesnt have a motor and it hasnt got much storage but its worth more than the scooter!! wouldve cost £2780 to build up but the other halfs dad owns a bike shop and built it up for me at cost!

I love those Dukes, i nearly bought one, a mate bought one and i had a go on it. it was 50/50 whether i got one or went for a scooter. in the end it was the ease of use of the twist and go that persuaded me. really smart bike though

i agree to a certain extent but that bloke is crazy, like most french drivers/riders.

my heart was in my mouth watching that! i hope he's got good life insurance or no family to leave behind because he is going under a bus one day!!

i rode today with thehelmets top 'sunroof' open and it didnt leak at all. apparantly if any rain seaps through the grill the blast of wind therough the front channel blows it out the 'exhaust' vent at the back! i dont care how they do it, it works perfectly!

I haven't got a pcx mate, I bought an S-Wing! It fits under the seat but its a squeeze, I put it in the top box which is 35 litres

I didn't realise there was that much difference!

I've got one of them with the scope design, fits nice and comfy but I wanted a sun visor

I'd be curious to see the swing parked next to a PCX for size comparison. Lou, is it much bigger? (I ask because of your small garage big bike comment) I'll see if I can park up next to a pcx at the local honda dealer when he has them out! Or if the ball and chains aunty comes over I'll get a pic, ...

My warranty is up and its approaching 2500 miles (although its had a service every year) and I'm going to get it serviced with valve checks, after that I'm doing it myself!

I debated just changing my visa for a tinted one but I ride a fair bit in the dark and don't like riding visor up.

The vent on the top by the way is HUGE! Its like a sunroof with metal grill that you can slide shut!
