The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

For that reason, if I were buying a motorcycle these days, I'd probably get a Honda CBR300R (or even a CBR250R) or a Kawasaki Ninja 300. Those are fast enough to get a reasonable thrill without taking ridiculous risks......and they are reasonably priced, as well. The market for bikes in that size /...

You can get scooters that are 650 cc's now, so you don't have to get a sport bike in order to get more power. You also have to know that even the PCX 150 can get up to freeway speeds. So the question is, what do you want that power for?? Do you want it so that you can travel the freeways with enoug...

Don't give in to the urge for a 600 supersport unless it is a track only bike or else tickets and crashes will follow. The new Yamaha R3 looks pretty cool for something that is faster than the PCX. Or the Honda CBR500R if you are too big for the 300's. Or a used Ninja300 or CBR250R which can now be...

If shifting gears is not your fancy, Might want to look into a Honda CTX 700N DCT. Still can shift with paddle shifters if so desired. I was just thinking this morning why bike manufacturers havn't changed the way bike gears work, or at least offer options. Think Porsche.. they have fully manual, s...

Yeah, perhaps the lack of feel really spooked me out.
I will just have to get used to them. As you say, all gloves are basically the same and used by all.

That Tourmaster is pretty amazing.. A lot of thought has gone into the flexibility of that product.
The video is a great watch...

Is that a Medium for Americans!
The man modelling that Jacket is AT LEAST an Extra Large... WTF

She is an inspirational character..

Shame she is too fragile to support the bike and her eyes are old, as expected, as I would love to take a video of her doing a wheelie.. Probably go viral on YouTube

When I was a reckless younger man, I had some fast sports cars and always promised myself that a motorcycle was the wrong thing for me. My wife concurred and it was not even in my thoughts though i always glanced in envy at bikers zooming down the road, only guessing at the exhileration that they mu...

She wants to ride on the back when the weather gets warmer!
She actualy rode scooters for 9 years back in the 60s, including a couple of Lambrettas.



My lovely scoot in the back garden:

Thanks to the forum members on here and from reading various articles on the web and watching videos I have decided to join the ATGATT brigade... I am getting armoured high quality textiles for the winter and probably save up for something in leather for next Spring/Summer. I have spotted the boots ...

These were the boots he was suggesting:
http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/prod ... boots/3661

They looked really bare and plastic BUT he sid they would do the job.
I didn't try them on but they were very rigid, which I imagine is a good thing (as in skiing or ice skating)

It is definitely a case of you get what you pay for but there does seem to be a jump from 'minimal acceptable safety precation' and the next step up in quality. I went into Infinity Cycles in Camberley and the salesman recommended this combo: http://www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product/spada-all-road...

Ah right, as it happens I did spot some under-armor on Ebay when I was browsing. http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/98897 has that ForceField Pro. Is this sort of stuff just not safe enough: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Body-Armour-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Motocross-spine-Protect...

I am stuck on a few I have seen now... all withing the £200 - £300 range. The ones that I seem to go for are 600 Denier + textile with elbow, shoulder and back CE padding with decent zips, reflective areas and a removable liner so it lends itself to all weather riding. Trouser wise, I am looking at ...

I have a medium modular Lazer and it fits really well on my bonce, which is a result as I ordered it online. I forget I am wearing it almost... However, my left ear is bloody sore :) I stretch out the two cheek wings as far as possible when putting it on but struggle to pull them out when I take it ...

Oh yeah, I did a search on 'reflective motorcycle helmet' and there are a lot. I guess its just the cheap ones i.e. most, that come plain.

Can I therefore get some aftermarket reflective striping that is okay to place on the helmet?

How come I never see cycling helmets that have a load of reflective material on them?is this something to do with a weakness of helmet material with stickers on them? I notice that my helmet only had a reflective bit on the neck liner.. Doesn't it make safety sense to have the whole rider lit up ref...

It's perfectly comfortable when riding. I do sweat like a pig when I'm parking and locking up my scoot, but I did order a waterproof gear bag so I can stuff my jacket inside once I'm done riding. I also bought some wicking base layers so I spend less time soaked in my own sweat. Does that wicking s...

Sorry, total noob here... I would like to buy the gloves, jacket and pants from these guys: http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/ As i used them before and they were great. Can anybody point me in the right direction of what to get? :oops: My ONLY gripe with leather is the worry about overheating as I ha...

When I started riding in college i didn't know better like most, so i was guilty of squidding often. I had a Shift Octane leather jacket my mom sent me money for (when she heard i bought a motorcycle lol) and a Shoei RF-1000 helmet. I had just scraped together the $2500 budget for my 99' ninja zx6r...
