Hello Folks,
Good to see this community biulding around the PCX here.
I've been riding for quite some time, and then had to sell all my bikes when my first daughter was born due to pressure from my home boss to reduce chances of getting myself killed on the road. (I've had a few accidents both on track while club racing in superstock600 and on the road).
I've just got myself a PCX125 (which has been officially approved as SCOOTER, not a bike :-) for commuting to the city.
As per local regulations 125cc bikes up to 11kw can be driven with a limited A1 category licence. I could have bought a slightly stronger scooter, but I got in love with the agility of the PCX and I hope I can get my other half riding by getting her an above mentioned limited licence - therefore I'll officially stick to to the category and potentially make some performance mods later on.
I still have some bike specifc tools and a workshop to make the mods myself, but will ask questions around regarding experience of others.
Have fun and safe riding all of you.

Re: Intro from Budapest
Welcome... yes you will learn much about the PCX and Forza here. If not directly from one who has done a mod then certainly some time spent reading in performance will catch you up to speed. Note in your travels through performance mods nothing is without consequence The Honda PCX is precariously tuned and balanced from the factory for and mostly dedicated to fuel efficiency. Here in the US we don't care about that, but some can appreciate the unique beauty and simplicity of design in such compact form and function... this is where the PCX shines!Oyabun wrote: make some performance mods later on.
