Re: Ex-Demo PCX

In any case, it's dubious that modern engines even need a run-in, and even then I doubt a lack of one would cause any noticeable issues, at least before you sell the thing 8) . I asked one of the mechanics at the place where I got mine about this and he told me that it's not as big of a deal as it ...

Re: Things I love about my PCX!

Hey: I love that with the new humpless seat I can scoot (badum-tss) all the way back to where the passenger would sit. I'm 194 cm (6'4" ish) tall and was a little concerned about the dimensions of the bike as people were saying that it is not the most suitable bike for tall people. This way I c...

Re: Hi

Thanks, Mr Elbows. That's what I've read around here as well. I actually told one of the guys at the shop (the mechanic) about the complaints I had read about the tires and he told me they're not too bad (what's he gonna say anyway, right?). The good thing is that the rainy season here should be ove...

Re: User Names?

Luizao is a nickname in Portuguese for Luis, which is my name. I'm Spanish, but from a town right on the border with Portugal. Also, I have Portuguese ascendence on my mom's side. Also, there have been a bunch of Brazilian/Portuguese soccer players named Luizao and my friends started calling me that.

Re: Hi

Thanks, Forza and kcpcx. I'm super happy with the bike. Just took it for a spin and it's amazing. I don't get the complaints about the crappy tires (we'll see how they behave on a rainy day) but the bike seems to go on rails, especially on the roundabouts, which are very common here. Spain has quite...

Re: Hi

It's here!!! I rode it for some 15 km (basically did the same route I take to work everyday) and I must say it has surpassed my expectations so far. The bike is smooth, quiet and handles awesome. Plus, I filled the tank just under 8€!!! That's what I'm talking about! I'm super happy with my purchase...

Re: Hi

@you you, so what happened was that they didn't include my middle name in the contract and, therefore, the contract wasn't valid. Funny thing is I have all my bills under my name without the middle initial or anything and it's usually fine. I guess it's difficult with a vehicle that has to be regist...

Re: Average age of PCX/Forza owners?

So, I'm thirty but turning thirty-one in May. As sad as it may sound, I felt more comfortable in the 31-40 range, so that's what I voted. This is my first bike ever too.

Re: Hi

Thanks everyone for the welcome and WhiteNoise for the piece of advice. I'll have to look into that. The thing is that here you are qualified to ride 125cc bikes with your car driving license, so no practice is actually needed, not even the "L" sign I've seen on British Youtube videos. I'm...

Hi

Hi everyone: This is my first post but I've already read through a bunch of threads. I should be getting my bike on Monday (was hoping to get it today). I ordered it a couple of weeks ago but there was a mistake with the paperwork and everything got pushed back a whole week... darn it! I'm really ex...
