Re: PCX 150 in the shop again!

I'd definitely let them look at it- sounds like belt slippage, though surprised on such a low mileage bike.

Hope they get it sorted, and if they argue about it being under warranty, stand your ground ;)

Re: Forza ABS Review: A non scooter riders impressions.

@ Darth Emma- Thanks for the kind words :) I have since writing this review found the Forza to indeed reach a higher speed- seen an indicted 85mph on the clocks, though to myself did feel to take a bit of time to reach it. Your comment's were an excellent review in it's own right! Some very good obs...

Re: Keep bike from getting soaked

Another option may be a scooter leg cover- not specifically aimed at what you need, but should do the job :) Or you could go for an outdoor cover.

However in order to give you some info on oils/brands, try checking out http://scooterunderground.ca/knowledge/scooterengineoil101.htm there i...

Re: Forza ABS Review: A non scooter riders impressions.

I think depending on size and weight of the rider, and also how much mileage the engines done (loosening up) To a PCX rider the Forza may indeed feel to have some punch between 60-70, but as I've mentioned, i'm usually riding a Multistrada ;) As for the CTX700, if power is of concern, then that woul...

Re: Forza ABS Review: A non scooter riders impressions.

That's great to hear MichRocks, they do have the legendary Honda Build quality that's for sure. Interestingly, have you tried storing your helmet in it yet after a ride? Warms it to a nice temp ;)

Forza ABS Review: A non scooter riders impressions.

Hey all, as blackcat54 suggested, here's my review of the 2013 Honda Forza. 8) One word- comfort. I'm not a scooter rider normally, had motorbikes for so long now developed that usual snobbery against scooters. I ride a Multistrada currently, but thanks to my job with North West Honda, I get to try ...

Re: Honda vs Givi Accessories

Hey dustin91, the B33 is an interesting topbox-it's the cross-over model from the monolock (commuting) to the monokey (touring) range- same box, but different plates. And it's the plates that the weight limit is mostly in relation to. Most monolocks are a single-wall thickness on the case and have s...

Re: Honda vs Givi Accessories

Hey all, as someone who works at a Honda dealer and sells both the Givi and Honda luggage, I could offer a good comparrison :) If it was me, I'd probabl buy the Givi, simply based on the price. Usually you find they retail at around HALF what the Honda will cost!! Is it half the quality...not in my ...
