The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

After marking the center of the hole locations and drilling small pilot holes, I used a step drill to finish the holes for the Givi mounting bracket. The step drill worked perfectly to get to the proper size hole and it also deburred each hole as it was drilling. This method also allows you to do te...

C'mon Skutter, come clean. Your buddy Otis weighs 675 lbs. and that is how your 150 bested his 125.

That's pretty neat. You know the time and also what day it is!

Looking forward to your impressions Skuuter. I wish I could have spent more time on the CTX to play with the different shift modes and get it out on the highway. Maybe the fact that you ordered two Forzas after 114 miles on the CTX speaks volumes.

Agree. That includes any crap I may spew out that could cause pain and suffering to anyone.

Maybe you are stretching your fuel tank out? Seriously, my milage is also improving partly because it is getting broken in and partly because my throttle control is improving. Especially on acceleration.

Yeah Tourons = Tourists. Apparently normal driving rules and laws do not apply when one is on vacation or holiday.

Picked my PCX up today after it was serviced. The cost was $159.00 and included: valve adjustment, oil change, brake inspection & adjustment, fluid level checks, wiring & light inspection. The labor charge was $150.00 for two hours. Not cheap but not too bad.

My 125 has touched an indicated 60 mph a couple of times but it usually tops out at about 59. That's usually fast enough for me.

I rode the naked version Taz. I'm 5'11" tall with a 32" inseam. Also, with the low seat and center of gravity it didn't feel like a 500 lb. bike so smaller riders and women shouldn't have any problems.

Along the beach areas here in Delaware and Maryland there are tons of small scoots. Unfortunately the tourons kill several bicyclists and motorcyclists every summer. Get inland a couple of miles and it is mostly motorcycles. People here on Delmarva are much more laid back than the folks on the Weste...

Yeah, I'm a novice and I only rode it for a couple of miles. You have probably spent a lot more time on it than me and can provide better input based on your experience. I'd be interested in others' impressions as well.

I dropped my PCX off for service yesterday and went back to pick up today. While I was waiting, I started chatting with the owner about the Forza. He checked and said he wouldn't be getting one until the last week of August but he said he had a couple of other bikes I might be interested in seeing.....

The USA gets a Givi rack with 50-cal mount and optional flamethrower.

Now that's funny! I almost passed my chewing gum through my nose when I read that.

It is good to hear that you are happy with the service performed. Mine goes in tomorrow at 647 miles.

I was only kidding about the discount but I'll keep a watch on the marketplace for purchasing info.

Golf clubs will be a piece of cake with new, soon to be released Givi Ski/Bicycle/ Rack with Golf Bag Adapter.

He Skuuter,

Can you feel effects on that top box at speed? Or, are you lucky and have an aero belly to divert air around the top box?

Hey Fez,

That's a great way for a young man to get started. Is he taking orders and does he offer discounts to forum members?

Wow! Great find Dave. Looks like a lot of fun. Aren't you boys in Georgia required to have license plates?
