Now that is seriously fantastic.GatorGreg wrote:Here's a scooter you can take fishinghomie wrote:she might not care to ride after you go fishing a couple times with it.
I had a GSX before - I wouldn't choose a scooter over 150cc for anything. They're designed for lower speeds (unless you look at bigger wheeled scoots). I wouldn't touch a Forza when I could have a CBR150 that'll be faster and more comfortable and far cheaper.florida-boy wrote:Hi, I'm Brad and I live in Jacksonville, FL. I'll be 38 next week, I'm married with a 3 y/o boy and spend a lot of time on the water. My wife and I recently had our 10 yr wedding anniversary and went to Savannah, GA. We rented a 50cc scooter and had a great time. Since then I got my motorcycle endorsement/license and have decided to buy a scooter - only nicer/faster than what we rented.
That was my first experience on a scooter. My brother and father both ride Harleys; my dad not so much anymore. I just want something for cruising around town and I want something that my wife and I can take on the hgwy for trips to St Augustine (about an hour away).
I'm 5-11 and 200 lbs. I started out looking at the PCX 150 but have reservations. I fear that after owning it for a short while I will regret not getting something bigger. I want a scooter that's highway capable, will perform well with 2-up and offer enough leg room (I'm 5/11 but have long legs). I've been looking online at the Forza and Silverwing but I'm not sure I want to pony up the dough on the Silverwing. There aren't many scooters sold where I live and the local dealer doesn't offer test rides; I'm going to look for a more committed scooter dealer starting tomorrow, but in the meantime, I happened upon this forum and thought I'd sign up and ask for some advice.
Specifically, should I look past the PCX 150 to a larger scooter like the Forza or Silverwing since highway capability, comfort with 2-up and leg room are important to me? I'd love to hear what experienced owners have to say, thanks!
Personally I'm not sure about the wisdom of 'igger scooters. For an ecomonical ride, definitely you should look at 250cc and up. Motorbikes are very comfortable, I think the PCX less so. I bought a PCX for the stupid economy, just around town and no highway it's great... but it IS very much more bumpy over uneven road surfaces compared to every motorcycle I ever rode before.florida-boy wrote:Hi, I'm Brad and I live in Jacksonville, FL.
