The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

2nd half of this video shows it had good acceleration and is a great scooter for a 110 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWpp7wagGao PCX 125 has better acceleration and top end so 150 should easily outclass it at the expense of mpg. I'd imagine most scooters 110 and over pull away really fast. That...

Maybe I should just watch the YouTube video and check them myself? I'm just afraid of messing it up, which is about what happens about half the time when I try to play mechanic. Sometimes I make things better, sometimes I make them worse. I checked/adjusted mine just for fun, at 500 miles both valv...

I did tuck And why should I have to buy and install a varistor in order to get close to the advertised top speed?

I'm just jealous of all the folks who get 65 mph new. I use my scoot for around town, but also ride some stretches with speed limit of 55. Part of the reason I waited for the 150 was to have more power in reserve. I would like to be confident that I stand a chance in traffic if I have to do a short ...

Quite a few people say the valve's were out on the 1st service (that's if many dealers actually check by removing covers and doing it properly - there were posts that Honda advised dealers 'only if necessary') - but I wonder if they go out due to bedding in or if they are just not setup properly du...

What about vibrations, top speed or fuel economy?

I have 1200+ miles on my PCX 150. Finally got the nerve to open the throttle all the way yesterday on a clear straightaway. Only went up to 60 mph! Tried it a couple other times and got up to about 63. Almost 65 going downhill, but that was it. Is this normal for a new bike?

I've been very pleased with the acceleration of my PCX150, particularly from 0-35 mph - perfect for beating the cages across the intersection. For my purposes, I get up to 55 - 60 mph just fine. Above that is a little slow, but that's fine with me since I stay off the interstate.

I was doing 55-60 through the bayou. Not sure what these little ones are. But it will soon be love bug season - they fly around having sex in midair, which means double the guts!

EEEEEEWWWW - bug guts! Hope my windshield gets here soon!!!

Maybe he was turning by leaning - even still - dog had to stay on the handlebars. Pretty impressive!!

Thanks everybody! Here's another pic:

The other scoot is a Buddy 170. The award was "Best Scooter Group"

And we won an award!

Fun time handing out candy to the kiddies.

Is it just me, or does the Givi mounting brackets make it look a bit like a UFO trying to land on the back of the scoot? The Honda rack mount seems to look a little more like it belongs there, albeit maybe a bit more bulky?

both of those are excellent threads - looking to compare the two. Thank you very much!!

Actually I found an excellent thread after I posted this - PCX commuter posted some excellent pics. Thanks!

Thank you for the great pics! I am spending way too much time on this forum!
