Re: How cold will you ride?

20 degrees (F) is my limit. My fingers go numb! I was told to get Cold Killers as they block wind. I bought some lobster gloves that are insulated goretex, but they don't block wind very well. I wear layers and my Artic insulated Carhart biboralls are worth their weight in gold! Bulky, but for the F...

Re: Body Panels?

Partzilla.com doesnt have any parts for the 2014 Forza. I did find them on BikeBandit.com It rides good...just not pretty in the front. Lights work fine, just some broken front panels and clips around the front. Thanks everyone for the concern and help. I was wearing gear- and even some knee and shi...

Body Panels?

Anyone know a good source to order body panels and the needed hardware? I laid mine down today and it slid into a sign, so now the front end is banged up.

Thanks.

Re: traded in my PCX

I too traded in my PCX for the Forza back in March. I had like 68 mpg on my first tank then it dropped after. Now (3,000 miles later), I average 63 mpg (US miles and gallons). I average 60 mph

Re: Average age of PCX/Forza owners?

I bought my first bike (new rider) at age 35- it was a 2013 PCX 150. I bought it for daily commuting to work to save on gas. It done well, averaging me about 70 mpgs, and maintaining 55 mph. I wanted to upgrade to get more power and ability to 2 up with the wife. So I decided on the 2014 Forza just ...

Re: Forza - 1000 mile update

Im not sure if there is a European- USA conversion or something, but I was getting 68 mpg on my first trip home from the dealer (avg. 45 mph), then my first two weeks running with a fresh fill up and going 55- 60 mph, was getting avg 65 mpg. Now, closing in on 300 miles and Im getting 60 mpg...not s...

Re: Bought two new Forza's for wife and myself

Can you trim the Givi? I am 5'6" and sit with a 32" torso, so was wondering how this would fit for me. The dealership charges $162 for the shield, plus labor.

Re: slight vibration at about 68 mph...anyone?

I am just under 600 miles and have also noticed this "buzz" type of vibration at around 67 mph. I find it to be a little erratic, but not sure if it connected to a certain rpm, or what. I know with the PCX, it had a limiter at about that speed, but do I understand that the Forza does not h...

Re: So long Pcx , welcome forza

I got the Forza today, and a big thanks to the Forzanator for his video. I tried it at the dealership and it will fit in the rear, but due to my blue tooth attachment, will not fit in the front...but I am happy with the rear placement. I guess we tried every combination but that one... My thoughts o...

Re: So long Pcx , welcome forza

Well, I finally after haggling with the dealership all week got a deal that I agreed to. Will be getting the ABS version on Saturday. My payments will be about $150/ month (currently for the PCX, its $89/ mo). My insurance will only go up $4.50/mo.. I hope my fuel economy doesnt suffer a whole lot- ...

Re: So long Pcx , welcome forza

Both I and the sales person both could not get my helmet to fit under the seat. I have a full face XL APX branded. It appears to have vents that run on the top (?). So that stinks.

Re: So long Pcx , welcome forza

The extra storage under the seat is a huge bonus. I can fit my backpack, jacket and full size helmet under the seat. The PCX was a struggle to get just the helmet and jacket, backpack was a definite no go. Never interested in getting a top case, think they look a little goofy. I test rode one at th...

Payoff?
Title?
I financed my PCX through Honda Financial. I owe on the loan- more than its worth. The Title is the paper that shows ownership. Until the loan is paid in full, Honda holds the title.
Does this help? Or was you joking?

Re: Tire Size?

A private sale might net you more cash than trading it in. New rear tyre makes for easier sale at higher price. Problem is my payoff is like $3800 and so if I sold privately, I would have to cough up (credit card??) the difference to get the title for the new owner...whereas on a trade, it would ge...
