The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Let me know how you like your Parabellum. I really want the Givi Airflow, but can't quite swallow the $250 pill.

I'm on StromTrooper as well, same s/n.

I love my DL650. 2015 w/ a hair over 1,000 as of this morning. Averaging 59mpg. Perfectly fine at 30 mph, 45, 55, 85. Comfortable 2-up, even with a tall wife. Nearly as quiet as the PCX... which is nice, but I'd like a 2Bros or Yoshi exhaust on it. http://i.imgur.com/pC68Y4n.jpg http://i.imgur.com/d...

How many miles are on your PCX? How much do you weigh?

I'm 6'1", 240lb (naked) and had no issues hitting the limited (~62mph) without a fuss.

I would recommend Joe Rocket gear to anyone on a budget... other than their gloves. I've had great success with all of their products. I purchased three pairs of gloves; 1 for my wife, and 2 for me (warm/cold). Both of mine had the stitching come loose within 2 months of ownership. My wife's are sti...

Flash your high beams back at them.

Oxford heated grips.

Cool! If I had the room, I probably would have kept the PCX. But, on top of the lack of space, I felt that the PCX would be left sitting too long and often to really keep it.

Yeah, starting to get the itch myself. Something tells me when Spring 2015 rolls around, my PCX150 may get replaced with this: http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/2015-VULCAN-S-ABS It'd be my first motorcycle, but I just cannot stop thinking about it. Not too powerful, ABS option, adjustable handlebar...

I'm envious. I was looking at Suzuki Boulevard S40's last year. $5,500. Did that model tempt you at all? Is the V Strom worth the $10,000? Maybe i should ask you that question in 6 months. I've had cruisers in the past. The S40 has never been near the top of any list of mine, personally. The S40 is...

Dave is maddiedog, right?

It is quite high, for sure. I have a 32" inseam and I can plant roughly 1/2 of both feet down at the same time. If it were 1/2" taller, I wouldn't own it. There are multiple ways to lower it (suspension, seat, etc) if needed.

Huh... never noticed the clear screen of the Forza. I agree, the black looks much better.

I've never seen the '05 and '08. I'm quite fond of the 05.

Still weighing the options for top case.

I'll still be around. I like this place too much to just up and leave.

I would actually get the Ninja 650 over the FZ siblings. I love the Ninja. Excellent, nearly bullet-proof, engine, comfortable ergos, good price, etc. Although the Ninja is a bit more pressure on the wrists, it wasn't terrible like the true sport bikes. However, it mainly came down to 2-up comfort. ...

Hey Yak, Trade in on the PCX was $2000. I probably could have got a few hundred more selling myself... but I'll gladly take a 10% loss to not have to deal with Craigslist people. Plus, the tax benefits probably erased any loss. My commute to work is nothing but hills and curves. I would slow to unde...

When I bought my PCX in February of 2014, I told the dealership to let me know if they get a V-Strom 650 in stock. I called multiple times about it, they called me a couple times, but nothing. Finally, on Friday, Nov 7, the salesman called me and told me they just got 2015 in. I told him to have it ...

If I were a potential buyer, I'd be far more concerned about the rust covering nearly every metal part of the scooter. New panels will probably accentuate this issue.

Nice! It'd be hard to turn one down at that price.

Would you care to share your OTD before taxes?

I have no rhyme or reason when choosing side vs center. The only thing I can think of for sure that I do is park it on the center stand if I know I won't be riding for several days. If I'm out and about, or park at work, etc, it's usually on the side stand. However, I'll throw it on the center stand...
