A Simulator - Choose Any Bike

Post by WhiteNoise »

Wasn't sure where to start this new thread, :roll: here or under Other Bikes. Wanted it to have exposure so...Guess what I chose? :D :lol:

Okay so this is How this rolls, click this link, http://cycle-ergo.com
Pick a bike, enter your height and inseam (even add passenger) then BAM! You get to see what you (& pass.) would look like on that chosen bike. Simples and kinda fun :P
They have a PCX, but not the 2015. No biggie, but I did request they make it available. I sent them a profile pic of the 2015 and my email addy (they request that info when you request a bike to be added to their very long list of makes and models).

So Have Fun with It! Tis Why It's posted :P

It has a problem. My wife is only 5 ft tall and has a 27 inch inseam. It shows her just a little bit on the balls of her feet. In reality, her toes barely touch the ground. The fact that the seat is wide contributes to the problem, as well as the high front of the seat. She now wears boots that have 3 -4 " soles in order to flat foot it at a stop.

I'm 5'8" with a 33 inseam. I have flat feet on the ground with a lot of the bikes on the site. I do like the Honda CTX 700.

This simulator clearly shows the difference in leg/knee room between the PCX and the Forza.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....
Not taking blame for Grom woes. A six footer can still handle this Baby. I know I saw a tall gent on one recently at Honda. He did just fine and Saw his pearly whites shiny the whole time :D
The Grom? Through the eyes of this Baby Boomer? A wittle Devil ;)

Fun but sad for someone inseam challenged like me. All the adventure and dual-purpose bikes I'd need stilts for. Oh well.

Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

My wife has pointed out to me that the simulation does not take into account how wide the seat is, causing you to lose inches due to having to straddle it. My wife has a short inseam and straddling the PCX shortens her inseam even further, so she has it wear boots with a 3" sole in order to flat foot it at a stop.

Even though the Forza has compartments that stick out further if you are real tall that could touch your knees, this accentuates the real difference between sitting on the Forza and the PCX. It is pretty significant and noticeable over a little time.

Thanks for pointing that out! Crazy, that I forgot to look, ah well.
Welcome to the forum(s) RRocket! Do you own a PCX? Or are you considering buying one?

I'm looking into getting one. I ride what I consider pretty hardcore bikes. Primarily supermoto. But after checking out a PCX, I came away quite impressed with the utility and build quality...so I've been interested in picking one up. But at the time the refreshed 2015 was rumored to be coming so I've been waiting. Will likely pull the trigger on the purchase in the spring.

Oh okay. I didn't know. :oops:
So the 2015 hasn't arrived in your country yet. I get it now.
Would you mind sharing your location in your profile? I have some quick instructions posted right below this post on how to do that. It sure would help you/I/us all out, so we don't "assume" where you are.

By the way...consider this my vote for You to "Pull That Trigger" in the Spring! :D
Keep us posted, please! 8)

Someone needs to build an ergo simulator, you type in the bike you want to try and just go for a spin!

Would be extremely helpful in deciding which bike to get..
