An impatient daughter of a fella browsing bikes when he was suppose to be picking up a part. She was a bit :x Gent at desk kept an eye on that foot though (for sure, sure!) Why they had a seat there and not by the desk :roll: just dumb.
Wait! I just remembered...the gent at desk showed me a new bike on his computer that's coming our way. Said it was a 700 autoshift. I asked the seat height (not listed on his specs) and the price.... unknown. The guy was pretty (how do you say), useless? Sorry, not very nice of moi. So what's the bike?

No, they all had that sticker as did most Hondas at the time.

Okay gn2, thanks 4 input :)
Taz, after peeping in on Honda's website I believe it's this one http://powersports.honda.com/2014/ctx700n/options.aspx (the DCT) http://powersports.honda.com/2014/ctx70 ... ssion.aspx
Now why didn't the salesman see the specs I asked him about on his screen? Weird :roll: Perhaps they were recently updated?
As I type, I seem to remember another member posting on this bike. Hmm...was it you gn2?

Yeh the CTX looks nice but I am fussy and want abs but not dct and that does not seem possible.

ABS without DCT?
Forza 300, the new Honda 500s, various Honda 600s and 1000s, the NC range, the CBR250RR and that's just Honda.

Thanks but I was just referring to the CTX that has only 2 options and the abs option only comes with dct. Will look at the 500's soon.

You are correct. Here is the "Engrish" :lol: translation:

"Most popular now appeared PCX150 Prestige trike.
Also in the quiet of the engine sound, I realized the great ride.
At idling equipment, further improving fuel economy.
Specification screen bar handle, a show, a great design.
With the back gears, front and rear disc brakes are."

Good to see a reputable scooter being triked rather than the "you know what's found on your local Internet cheapo plastic station" ;) I looked at all the pics & the PCX actually looks pretty cool with three.
But.....personally and visually I don't like the rear fenders. They should be bigger/wider to accommodate the size of the chosen tires. I'd like to see a slight flair on the rear ends of the fenders as well. While we're at it, why not hide all the inner guts with some more Tupperware and give it a crazy swirled hippy paint job? :D o_O :? 8) :D
What "is" that lever? It looks fugly! Cover it!

Seriously guys? :| I already translated the original page a few postings above yours. Yes, it is a reverse gear lever.

Oh, and it's my turn to be a picture whore.

Spring time and Ramps in the mountains.
The Ramps are ready.....small, pungent; a cross between garlic and wild onion. The mountain folk use them in many dishes. I like them in my eggs. The Cherokee would let the babies gnaw on them. When the wee one would wake in the night, mother could find it by the smell without lighting a candle. :P

You need knobbies on the scoot to get to where they grow!

That is wild garlic over here. Just starting to appear and soon well have the whiff of garlic whist riding. Use the leaves for cooking (there's no bulb). Cheap and delicious
