Re: PCX|Blur|Reflex|SC250

~~ For mods, I know I'll eventually get a windshield for it, but the one Genuine makes I'm not very fond of. Found a decent PUIG one that is supposed to fit, but we'll see. I'm debating something for a little extra storage as the Blur has no glove box. Don't really want a gear box as I think it ruin...

Re: PCX|Blur|Reflex|SC250

~~ Yeah, it's quite different it seems, heh. The PCX150 was going to be $3849 out the door, the Blur was about $4200. I assume they are just not selling period down in Atlanta 'cause 3500 is a full 500 off the MSRP price. That's gotta cut through a significant portion of the mark-up. So, the bike wa...

I went with the Blur. He gave me the discount and got a great rate on the loan for the rest of the bike (3.8%, no additional fees). Payments are gonna be about $105 a month. I pick it up on monday. :)

Re: PCX|Blur|Reflex|SC250

~~ Yeah, the Reflex is a solid bike. I've seen a few of them and it's biggest negative (for me) is that the bike seems like it's a lot bulkier than it really should be. It's got more of a big cruiser bike look and I'm actually more into something sportier. I talked to the owner down at the shop toda...

PCX|Blur|Reflex|SC250

~~ So, as some may know, I've been waiting quite a few months for the PCX150 here in Wisconsin. So, my eyes have been wandering. I want the community's opinions on the following bikes: Genuine Blur SS220i (PGO G-Max 220i) - All accounts say this is a flat out awesome bike to ride. It has some issue ...

Re: What would you change on the PCX

Actually, they should just make the Reflex again and half the things people want on a PCX would be moot. Standard models seems a bit bulky, but the 'sport' models were awesome.

50 Ways to Stay Alive

~~ When I first started getting the idea of getting a bike into my head, I was debating between a PCX and a Ninja 250r. I came across this thread for new riders on a Kawasaki forum and figured it would be a good one to post here. Great read for new riders and seasoned ones as well as a reminder. Ple...

Re: Getting a PCX 125 on Saturday!

Yeah, I try to be very careful because I'm a bit nervous. I hate getting too close to other vehicles - so much so that I turn left out of the car park then go around the roundabout and head back the other direction. It adds about 5 minutes onto my journey, but I feel safer doing it that way! (It's ...

If there are any kind of custom shops near you, or within calling distance, they can probably either paint to match, or can tell you someone in the area that can. Custom shops are cool like that. :)

I've always wondered about the CBS pressure split on the back brake, but never actually looked it up. You'd think if they perfected the ratio enough, there would be little reason to have more than one break lever.
