The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

So far so good, what a beautiful thing I want one on a scooter please
Great job on a very cool engine

How long can they get away with this crap for?

As long as there are customers with balls bigger than their brains

When I owned my Harley, I loved it, but it was very temperamental when it was cold outside. I don't know how many times I cussed it out in the winter because it did not want to start. I am sure that fuel injection solved that problem though. At least, I hope it did.

Slight detore here, but I always wondered on bikes with those tall and wide handlebars where the rider has their arms high and out-stretched, well - don't their arms get tired and what's the point/advantage?

Ape bars have no advantage, no purpose, no point other than style and cosmetics. Makes a statement that you will not be going very far very fast and you might just crash if any evasive actions are needed Like spinning hubcaps... pure show.

ape hangers-didn't know any one else new they were called that. Must admit every once in so often I can picture myself riding my PCX past some friends with a set installed-just for laughs

lets take a ride with some ape hangers... FUN!!!

Now that we have taken a detour, I will keep us on it ....

I seems ape hangers aren't too safe because some jurisdictions, such as New York State, do not permit handlebars to be more than the height of the operator's shoulders.

I think Ape bars should be mandatory equipment on snow mobiles after learning where the idea originated from that was a very interesting video. Every year someone in Wisconsin runs up on a low hanging wire or rope and darn near decapitates themselves.

How about wire cutters like helicopters to prevent decapitations?
