Re: 2014 Forza availability

I don't know what version of the PCX is being sold in Australia, the 125 or the 150. But I have read that there is a very noticeable difference in both top speed and off-the-line acceleration. If, on my PCX 150, I find myself at the front of the pack of cars at a red light, regardless of hill or not...

Re: 2014 Forza availability

Don't know about the Forza hump, but - - - Comparing prices in the USA, and considering as an urban commuter who actually never really needs to exceed 60 miles per hour: Summary first: Yes, I would love a Forza if someone else gave me the extra $2,100 to $2,600 (depending on ABS option). I paid cash...

I will not take your bait. This is a forum about the Honda PCX. I will not respond to off-topic mentions of the President of the United States, or his family.

Re: MC Endorsement

I took MSF the course with my 16+ year old daughter in my home town close to Seattle, WA. My wife will take the course later this summer. The absolute best thing for me as a father is that some officially sanctioned school taught my daughter. I don't care that we did slow speed u-turns in the course...

I'm not sure since he is my neighbor's dog. He is definitely some kind of doodle, that's for sure.
I've either heard him called a golden doodle or a labradoodle.
I'm thinking my neighbors call him a golden doodle. He gets frequent hair cuts so he can see.

Re: New member - planning to get a UK PCX125 - advice?

Of course, I am speaking of the scooters being offered here in the U.S. We seem to have fewer choices in the sub-300cc range than what you folks have in the UK. I was just offering my happy experience with my PCX 150 here in Seattle, WA in the US. Here there is a giant leap up from my US PCX to the ...

Re: New member - planning to get a UK PCX125 - advice?

I hope to believe that even if I ever buy a larger motorcycle I will never give up my PCX. I have no idea why I would want to go to frequent manual gear shifting in a stop and go urban environment. My lightweight PCX will get me through city traffic out to twisty 35-55 mph sub-urban roads, and occas...

I loved that video of the European trip! About Butt Puckering, here is a video some one else did on a ride through the mountains of Washington State in May of 2012. This is not what I typically do, since I am an urban commuter, but there are some crazies around where I live. It looks like Ben's trip...

Re: I feel naked

The dealer I use still stamps the warranty book. Im just trying to keep my costs down but not saying everyone should be doing it.

Re: Honda OEM Rear Trunk Base, 2013 one-piece metal version

I can't say for sure since I only have the PCX 150 and not the 125. However, there are so many others who have found that the mounting holes under the plastic are the same. Look at this video of a guy installing a Givi top box to a PCX 125 - the mounting bolt holes look identical to the PCX 150. htt...

Re: Kitaco Rear Carrier

Not me, but I highly recommend the metal carrier sold by Honda in the US designed for the PCX.
It looks great and is exceptionally sturdy. It's the Honda Rear Trunk Base 08L70-KZY-910.
