The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

In the UK, one problem that I have seen is the attitude of car drivers to having L plates on your scoot. They seem to be a sign to drivers that says 'I must get passed' . For example, in my home town, the main through road has a 30mph speed limit, which increases to 40mpg for about 300 yards before ...

Congrats. Hope you enjoy it.

When I picked my PCX up after my CBT, I went to the nearest car park, and rode around the car park for 10 mins so I could get a little confidence before I rode home, as it was my 1st bike.

Take it steady, and you will be home before you know it.

No, I didn't inform the insurance company. I'm fully comp, so made the 'assumption' that I'd be ok. I took the insurance certificate (and log book) to the test centre, but the examiner didn't want to see them.

I got a Givi D1136st for my 2015 PCX from Motocard in Spain. Their price is £40.75, and shipping to the UK is less than £6. Delivery is free to the UK if you spend over £60. I had great service, they have a UK number if you have any issues. Would recommend. There website for the Givi screen is https...

So, had the module 2 part of my test today,which I took on my new Forza 125 ( I swapped my PCX for a new Forza last Friday. Great planning on my part ) and...

Passed!

No more L plates

Congrats, and welcome

In the manual they say to run in the engine for 1st 300 miles.

' no full throttle starts, no harsh braking, and ride conservatively'

Ok, leaning to the right then.

So, been out today, and done 70 or so miles on the new Forza 125, so thought I'd try to write a more detailed review. Overall I'm very impressed with the new bike. It does exactly what I want on an A1 licence, and with an expected MPG of over 100, what's not to like? Around town it's not as nippy as...

The therory test is multiple choice, and pretty much common sense. If you've been riding a while, you should breeze it. Try this practice test, that's what I did before I took it for real - http://www.safedrivingforlife.info/take-official-free-practice-driving-theory-test/motorcycle-practice-theory-...

Oh, I forgot to say. Worth remembering that once the Mod 1 is passed, there's no time limit on when you have to take Mod 2. Mod 1 is riding around a circuit on a car park. Goole has what this looks like, and you can practice on any car park, take it on your own bike ( if your going for an A1 licence...

The 1st think to do, before looking at test centres etc, is to pass the theory test. Once passed, it's valid for 2 years. And it's also valid for all motorbike licence types. It's a computer based test on all stuff road and bike, then a number of hazard perception exercises. It's taken in an office,...

If your happy with a 125, then it's really easy. You need to do the bike therory test 1st. You then need to do the module 1 and module 2 test. For a 125 you only need an A1 licence, which, if you happy with an automatic, you can do it on your current bike. I did my module 1 on my PCX a few weeks ago...

Thanks WhiteNoise,

I'll give that a go.

Hmm, how to send Maddiedog a message. Just tried, pm's are turned off.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change your user name on the forum?

Now I've not got the PCX any more, was going to change it to Forza...

The stock tyres are IRC SS560's

I might change these for something more suited to the UK's weather before next winter.

Well, said goodbye to the PCX this afternoon, and picked up my new Forza 125. :D 1st impressions. It's bigger than the PCX, and taller. I'm 6' but can only get my tiptoes on the floor. It's more stable than the PCX, I guess due to its extra weight. It's a little slower at low speeds, but that might ...

Interesting comment gn2, but Theory test passed Module 1 test passed Module 2 test booked for next week, so will now be taking on the Forza 125. Why, I hear you ask, go for an A1 licence? 1) after a major back injury getting on and off a proper bike is really painful, and I have a problem with right...

So, I visited the dealer today, and had a 1st look at my new scoot! It wasn't fully built ( didn't have the screen on) and still had some of the packaging on, but 1st impressions is that it's a lot more substantial than the PCX. My commute is 40 miles each way, so was looking for something a bit mor...

Just heard from my Honda dealer, and I swap my PCX for my new Forza 125 on Friday.

Went for the blue and white ( the PCX is white too).

Getting a little excited
