The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

A friend of mine can't call my PCX a scooter... he says, "A scooter is like a skateboard with a handlebar. That's a moped." My response, "No, a moped implies you can pedal it, like a bicycle." Him: "Then, it's a motorcycle." Me: "I don't give a rat's rear what you ...

A day off and some Inter-Island scooting... http://captnjim.blogspot.com/2014/06/inter-island-scooting.html Another great blog Jim. What set-up have you got for taking picture while you are riding? From the "Kids, don't do this at home," file... I have the best luck with a DSLR on a strap...

Congrats on the "his & hers" PCXes... there's a lot of that going around. We have been riding for over 40 years and are having a ball with the scooters!

Best wishes,

I think I can help with this issue...

Get rid of the bicycle.

You're welcome.

Scooting around San Juan Island... http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z440/eiwiz/Sc21_zps88677889.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z440/eiwiz/Sc15BoatsHaro_zps1a83aca3.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z440/eiwiz/Sc03SouthBeach_zps985480d0.jpg And a link to the ride report... http://ca...

Great ride report! I came across this from a link on the ADV scoot forum, so sorry if I'm late to the party. We used to live in the Black Hills, home to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, where the number of bikes is generally over a half million... quite an impact! I was not "scooter aware" ba...

It isn't so bad - some of us have made it through this just fine...



My wife gets better mpg than I do - might have something to do with my additional drag.

Enjoy riding with your Honey.

I'll be 61 in a couple months; been riding motorcycles for 46 years. The PCXes are our first scooters. You can teach an old dog new tricks. The scoots hit the high points of what I enjoy about two wheels (the freedom, fun, sporty riding) without the weight and bulk. I thought shifting was part of th...

OK, I tried the brake with the scoot on the centerstand... light application of the left lever slows the rear, a bit more and you get some on the front. Not noticeable when running. I took the scoot out to run an errand this afternoon and tried turning with the rear brake applied while giving it som...

I have not tried applying rear brake to tighten a turn. I am not a big fan of linked braking (had "integrated" brakes on a Goldwing in the past), but I really don't seem to notice it much with the PCX. I was not aware that the left lever only applies the rear when lightly pulled... I will ...

The PCX has combined braking - left handle activating rear and some front brake. If I were looking to make a tight turn, I sure wouldn't want any front brake.

I have mine mounted in a vertical position - I find it gives me more map ahead...

You do sound an expert. I'm not trying to come off as an expert - just a guy who has been riding motorcycles for a lot of years. The PCX is a great scoot, but it is 150cc... one shouldn't expect it to perform like something with 4 times the engine size. It is ideal for our use, but we KNEW it wasn'...

We have two PCX 150s, his and hers. They seem to pull the same, but I do outweigh my wife - she gets better MPG than I do, but they seem to have the same top speed: 65 to 67 mph. We get a lot of questions about the bikes when we're out and about... the most frequent: how fast and how much? This is m...

Anyone find getting a test ride a hard thing to do even though a dealer may have a couple on the showroom floor? Over here in Melbourne, Australia a couple ofthe dealers I've been to seem to have the idea that people will buy without even a test ride. Hmmm....... Until buying these scoots last year...

Welcome to the forum - exciting times ahead! Enjoy your new scoot and post some adventures with it.
