The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I was actually curious about the incident itself, as I don't believe my leg is positioned to be crushed if I kept both feet on the "floorboards" on the sides. I thought I might have stuck out my foot to try and catch it, but I think it could also have been that my pant leg got dragged out ...

:( ugh! That's not good. Really Sorry to read this Valiant. Been there, done similar. Totally Sucks! But, unfortunately part of the riding experience. Agreed, I was just disappointed that I didn't manage to ride two weeks before I broke a bone. While healing, it would be a good time to do some read...

Helmet is proven to prevent/reduce brain injury. There's nothing on the market which will completely remove the possibility of all limb fractures. Crashing is part of the learning process, ask yourself how you could have prevented your crash. Wasn't looking for Iron Man armor, just wanted to improv...

I had the original tires on my pcx and was taking a curve much like you. The rear tire started slipping when it shouldn't and I corrected as best I could but the bike ended up jumping the curb and balancing right there on the curb, with neither tire touching the ground. No damage to the bike other ...

Wasn't fractured, the bones were broken. Didn't really deform the skin, but the doc told me the bone was cracked all around and was moving, jagged edges and all(I'll ask for an x-Ray). I frankly don't buy your position that proper gear couldn't have at least reduced it to a fracture where they didn...

Stay away from the edges of the road, Michelin City Grips in the stock size instead of IRC tires (multiple people on the cbr250r forum have had issues with irc tires as well), keep your speed up and your legs up. We can only do so much on two wheels but every little thing helps. Wasn't really "...

Went for a slow ride up Mount Tantalus nearby. Slowed to 5-10 mph for a left turn uphill, but stuck too close to the outside of the curve. It was exactly how I was taught to corner during MSF BRC, but the road was crowned, so it had the opposite effect, my rear wheel slid out, and my PCX dropped on ...

It's about $2,000 cheaper, it has better mpg, it's lighter, it's smaller(good if parking space is an issue), and I generally stay off the freeways. If I do have to go on the freeway, the highest speed limit here is 60, so the PCX should keep up fine. But I have yet to find myself wanting more speed.

Well, my only point about the accessories is simply that, because it's a new model, we don't see much of them in the US market as of yet.

Tossing the idea around about a PCX150- Stopped by local dealer, and they had a black 2013 for 3618 including 8.625% tax, and plate and registration fees. They mentioned a figure of $200 for the tags and registration, so if that's correct, it would be about $3150 pretax. Also had a black 2015 on th...

I don't see the steel hook and cable as flimsy. Since the only pressure an unarmed (or opportunistic) would-be thief can put on it is to try to pull it out, I just don't see it working. If the would-be perp has a cable cutter, well, then you are out a helmet, but then you were up against a thief wh...

You might be surprised to learn that money spent is no guarantee of effective protection. Some very expensive top end helmets are not as good as some at the lowest end of the price range. The sharp tests are probably as good a guide as any. When selecting a helmet it is essential to ensure a good f...

I got a Scorpion EXO-1100 Hi-Vis helmet. I like the black/hi-vis yellow combo, much more appealing than solid yellow. I am curious though... Is it worth the extra buck for say, something higher-end like a Shoei or Arai helmet? I would personally expect that, once you get above $250 or so, one helmet...

This?: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/helmetlok-ii-helmet-lock If you're getting a long chain anyway, you could pop your faceshield open and string the chain through. Of course, keeping it off the ground could be a bit tricky. I'm actually surprised there are that many helmets that don't fit. Mi...

2 miles? Get on it!

I'm getting 119 MPG according to the onboard computer after 1000Km here in Phuket Thailand. We do pay $1000 less for the bike. It is made here in Thailand. I'd love to see how I'd do on a MSF course. Riding 4 years now and self taught. I don't drive fast. Where do you max out on the PCX? Can you ge...

Happy for you, Valiant....but, Whoa! Jumping Jack Flash....big bucks!! I'm pretty sure Josh is right. Oh well, whatever. Kiss it off. You'll soon have the sexiest PCX so far and this expenditure will be a thing of the past. Just wait till you get it & ride it! "That's the Power of Love!&qu...

Learned four things today: 1. Doesn't matter what colour ... painted things on the road are slippery when wet. Don't expect that to be changing anytime soon, as cars don't have the same problems as 2-wheelers on narrow segments of slippery surfaces. I'd write a letter to the local authority in char...
