Re: Honda SH150i

Been reading up. There are pro's and con's to everything. Even the people that seem to absolutely love the SH seem to dislike the more "upright' or classical seating position. It does have bigger wheels which is nice. The looks don't bother me. It definitely is not a classical vespa looking sco...

Honda SH150i

I don't know much about this bike, other than its more expensive than the PCX. I guess this is built in Italy which makes it more expensive. It is 153cc so that's a bonus I guess. I guess its an option for me (if you look at my other thread on buying a scooter) if I found the right one. Can anyone s...

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

I don't mind paying a premium for our location, but that certainly does not mean anyone should be stupid. I would drop 2500 for the one with 300 miles on it (as long as everything checked out). Its just never going to happen. That guy is going to end up keeping that thing for years. Let me know rain...

Increasing fuel capacity.

Any one seen or tried to turn the 'trunk' into and extended gas tank?

Increasing the range would be nice. Especially for rides to more secluded areas.

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

Yeah, You can't pass tax and tags onto the next guy. You can try, but its just not going to work. There is no sales tax in the private market. The more I read and read and read, the more I am leaning toward the 150 just for the extra mph. We aren't in a hurry and definitely can take some time to fin...

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

So what is a PCX 125 worth now? i know location matters, but as already stated it looks like people haven't come to realization that the 150 is here. I have no idea about the scoot market, but driver a car off the lot and kiss 20% good bye. What you you pay for these ? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sb...

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

I actually don't like the look of the 'typical' scooter. If modern scooters did not come to fruition, not sure I would be here. I love classic cars, scoots? not so much. looks like a brick on wheels to me. So glad people perceive things differently, otherwise this would be a really boring world with...

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

Thanks gn2.
Not a bad option in the 125 class.

In the 150 though the PCX is just the 'one' right now. At least as far as I am concerned for performance, gas mileage, features, looks etc...

Re: How-To: Install a 12v Accessory Socket

thats not as clean and slick.

a nice flush mounted one would be much nicer looking imo.

OK I have to get back to work and stop reading these darn scooter forums!!!!

This place has a good vibe. Members seem almost too nice. I don't know if its the scooter comunity or the good guys followed you here, but nice place to get help. We sat two up on the PCX 150 the other day. Definitely big enough for around town. I agree the Zuma might not cut it in that department, ...

Re: How-To: Install a 12v Accessory Socket

Yeah, its the USB option I am worried about. By now you would think there should be a weatherproof USB option. Haven't even looked yet.

Re: How-To: Install a 12v Accessory Socket

Great write ups.

When I get a scooter, I am going to install a dual USB at 5v.

Although I do like the weather proofing you can do to a 12v plug.

might have to rethink that.

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

I should add for others looking. I am 5' 10" and weigh 165. I felt a little cramped riding the Zuma. It might just be adjusting my body a bit, but where I felt comfortable on the seat. I did not have this feeling on the PCX, however, I did not have it on the Zuma until I actually road it. Just ...

Re: Shopping for my first Scooter

Thanks for all of the feedback. I have pretty much narrowed it down to the Zuma or PCX. I researched other brands and for many reasons I narrowed it down to these. Mostly because of track record. I am not brand myopic, but I know their generator lines well and I believe in their small engine capabil...
