The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Welcome- and Merry Christmas! Great bike, that PCX. Lots of love for it in these forums, and many drivers that have had (or HAVE) both. If you have questions, there are a lot of good users here that can answer just about anything you can possibly throw at them. The PCX side of this forum, in "G...

Hey.

Whatever floats yer scoot...

A very Merry Christmas to all the riders on this forum! I have to read all the posts from all over with an envious eye; it is cold here, and the path leading to my bike is covered with ice. Regardless, this year is the best year of all, because everyone I love is warm and safe. It doesn't get any be...

Wow, nice work. Thanks for sharing!

See...you had to come here to get warm : D

Agreed! ( but I think it is a joke, is it not? )

Personally I prefer gradients, but haven't figured out the best combination for mine yet...(currently prototyping gold to light brown)

Just kidding ya- the avatar WAS funny ! By the way, you look younger than me, so maybe the Vespas don't pack on the age as fast...

Now, where is that ol' warranty claim thingy, anywho?

YOU YOU...HaHa! Took me a minute, too. Looks like you don't have football in the centre of the universe...too bad for you. These are Michigan Universities; these are places to learn good comedy, but looks like you already graduated!!

By the way, isn't it cold the way riding that way in Ontario? : D

Hi, neighbour! Sorry for the delay; just got home from work. Boy, I am embarrassed; I don't know the Universities here yet. Recently relocated to Michigan, and have been involved in work since the day I arrived. Looks like the Spartans are closer to me, but I will just have to check to see who has t...

Welcome to the group!

Glad to hear you like the bike; not so great news about the warranty stuff : (

Boy, I wish I could help. I have only had it 65-75mph twice, and both times I was in heavy 18-wheeler truck traffic with strong head/side winds. I hadn't even noticed if the bike was vibrating- I was too busy trying to stay alive! I hope you get this sorted out, it is no fun to buy something with su...

I could try to determine a better gage of my mileage, but anecdotally, the Forza fill-ups I have so far recorded were: 61.4mpg, 66.2mpg, 68.2mpg, 69.1mpg, 66.1mpg, 70.05mpg, and 67.7mpg. Averaging the mpgs gives 66.95. Temperatures varied from 33F on the low side to 73F on the high side. Some trips ...

Oh, my, I think my response was not appropriate for this forum, so I might have to rescind my offer.

THIS, on the other hand, is more appropriate...

Mel46-
As a northerner, I am trying to keep all the snow up here that I can, so I can ski.

But if you send me your address, I will send a box of Eskimo Pies instead!

(pity the postman.)

I do, but not like I used to. For a few years, made my living was a union musician in LA and Las Vegas. Toured a lot, and opened for some oldies groups (opened for the Coasters..) ahem, a '50s' group. I still 'pick' these things up and keep 'em tuned in case I run into another old fart that plays. I...

an OLD farts bike.

I have finally found out how to increase the acceleration of the Forza without having to modify the engine, frame, or suspension.

It entails eating a lot of beans...

Key words "down-sized." It's simply more economical. I want a 200.

Got it! Though I bought the Forza, still look longingly at the PCXs....

cessna151- Except for the underseat lighting, you just described a down-sized forza. Regardless, it is good to see more scooters coming into the US. If we get enough diversity here, it may finally make Americans wake up to the joy of riding them. I don't think I have ever been on a bike bad enough t...
