Bye bye PCX

Post by ese12105 »

Haven't been on in a good while, but I finally decided to sell my PCX. Just wanted more after almost 3 years. Good starter bike. Got some practice on a Suzuki GS500 which I bought for my wife then bought myself a Buell XB12ss Lightning. What a difference. I love my new bike! Great gas mileage, amazing torque, and plenty of speed. Good bye PCXers! Stay safe!

Dont listen to the nay sayers, whats important is that you like it and it fits your needs. There are many choices of bikes out there and many that are better then a pcx or forza.

I mate of mine had a Beull and he loved it. He had to get rid of it though because it needed a bit of work and he had problems getting parts as they stopped importing them into the UK. I think they were sold at Harley dealers.

Harley still supplies parts here in the US. It's an awesome bike and I absolutely love it!

Tastes, situations, and riding styles change. Sometimes you just like that "new bike smell." ;) Most of the bikes I've owned over the years have been big, heavy mileage makers. The PCX is a complete departure, and I enjoy the change.

Have fun with the Buell - and wave at the scooter riders out there! 8)

Good on you. I had a fling also with an X1 buell and loved setting off car alarms through narrow streets and in town during an afternoon ride. You can't get much more polar opposite between a Buell vs a PCX. I like your style !!!

Stay safe, especially on wet roads when applying some of that low-down torque !
