The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Greetings from me to all.Owning to tendons in left hand not gone back as they should,[I don't know how I did tit],Pulling the left lever to change gear,hurts.
But pulling the left lever to operate the left brake,[as on a scooter.] Dosent,so bought my self a Honda Vision 110i,scoot,didnt wont to go too big/heavy.Now even though its a brilliant scoot.Keep getting jumped on by the PCX 125. Not in corners though,[used to race back when I could afford it.]
So here to learn/and read about ,what others pcx 125,s get up too.
And its South London ,where I am.So hello to all.

Or I could just go up in the scoot cc.and get a Honda Forza 300.

In all honesty, If I had a full bike licence, I would probably go for a NC750x DCT, granted its much heavier but has a hell of a lot more power but lighter than a Silverwing

DCT NC750X
Kerb Weight 230kg

Forza 300

PCX 125

Welcome, Dick the Den.

Great forum here, lots of good folks who are glad to share their experiences and help when they can. I hope you stay on board and enjoy.

Through some weird twist of fate, I have both a PCX and a Forza, and I'd have to say that the PCX is much better in town than the Forza, which is noticeably bigger and heavier and somewhat less agile at low speeds and which does its best work on the motorway or on longer commutes. They're both great machines and each has its own strong points, but they're really not similar in any way other than the brand name.

^^^^^ ^^^^^ Strictly my opinion, of course ^^^^^ ^^^^^

Err, not really.

NC750 motor has 40kw
FJS600 motor has 37kw

NC750X weighs 219kg
FJS600 weighs 247kg

To get an NC platform bike with the level of comfort, weather protection, storage and luggage carrying capacity which the FJS enjoys, you would need an Integra (238kg) with a topbox and side cases and suddenly it starts to get a bit on the expensive and heavy side.
Or is that heavy and expensive?
Who can say.

my bad, what I meant to say was that it has more power than a Forza 300 but weighs less than a Silverwing.

I am with you on the DCT N750X, i have been tossing up between that or the Honda NM-04, just because Im batman lol

Wow! We have a rider that likes the NM-4! Cool dude! I thinks I like the Batman looks too
Whenever I'm in the showroom they never have one. Just keep on saying one's coming in..."stay tuned." Yeah, yeah.
Haven't been back in awhile, but I will sit my bum on one once there! Truth.

When I was in my local Honda dealer deciding what scooter I was gonna go for they had a used Vultus (NM-4) in stock and on the showroom floor, I said to the salesman 'So what did batman go for after he traded this in, lol'

Did he avoid the small sage bush drifting gently by as he walked away?

Probably because they don't want to be left with it sitting there gathering dust years later.
I've seen two, one on the road and one in the dealer.
The one in the dealer has been sat there a long time...
