What's the reason you feel scared on a 50 cc scooter? i feel much safer being able to move with the flow of traffic rather than being viewed as a slow moving obstacle that other drivers need to get around sometimes aggressively. it also sucks to not have decent acceleration to pull out into traffic...

nice review. for me it is about the smallest motorcycle i would ride and i dont feel it is heavy at all. 50cc scoots scare me to death with their lack of power to pull into traffic, etc. it is a streetbike. if you want/need to ride gravel and sand, you should be looking at something different, IMO. ...

Lowest temperature at night here is about 21 Centigrade, so no need to worry

that must be nice. guess you dont have any tips on keeping comfortable for winter riding then...

If you get proper ones by Toucano Urbano there won't be any problems i have those and have no problem with room for the levers. i also have heated grips and am must using uninsulated leather gloves so fra. you could hack the end of the levers off or get some shorter levers if you are having a probl...

not sure how it is in the UK but in certain areas of the US you can get 100% gasoline, or a mixture of ethanol and gasoline at the cheaper places.

welcome to the better forum of the two. this is a non profit website and a lot of the longer time PCX owners have settled over here due to the much better management of this site!

When at home and its parked in the cave under the house I slide down a chute onto it the same way as Virgil Tracy gets into Thunderbird 2. If I'm away from home I use a Joe 90 jetpack to lift me up over it then gently descend onto the seat. thats funny. i also have a midget garage for parking my bi...

you probably just need to upload it to a photo hosting site like photobucket.com first. then paste the IMG code into the message box.

there was always a lot of spam on that site that would sit there for days. i wonder how many sites they are 'managing' to try to peddle their wares? it was always obvious that they were in it for the business. it is good that we have this site as an alternative!

A couple of metres of auto edge trim like this will keep you going http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Car-EDGE-TRIM-SEAL-Interior-Exterior-PVC-Van-Boat-Truck-/320841541874?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4ab3a568f2 i knew i could get some trim and DIY, but the way they handled it i was constantly l...

i absolutely recommend staying away from internet shop 'SAME SAME'. they sent me my ermax +25 and forgot to include the trim kit. i emailed them and heard nothing back. i emailed ermax and they said that same same had picked up the trim kit and would be sending it soon. 2 weeks later no trim kit, so...

i think a lot of fickle young noobs get excited about getting a new bike and SPAM the various forums with their questions only to lose interest and disappear. prove me wrong in this case OP!

the japanese manufacturers are still making plenty of mid-sized scoots (250-400cc). 250cc scoots are by far the most popular in japan other than the 125cc class. it just seems that they arent being sold in the US. that would come down to a a decision by honda USA in all likelihood. the decision woul...

assuming you are in the US?

if i could only have one bike, i would get a 250cc. however, it depends on how YOU will use it of course. if you are just gonna ride it locally a 150 would be fine as long as you dont need to go on the expressway.

just saying we dont know where you live from your info. how cold does it get at the center of the universe.

even if it isnt any colder than where i am, i wouldnt call you a wimp. i'd just say you arent as hardy a rider as some!

IMO, if the top speed of the PCX isn't fast enough, you're either riding it on the wrong roads or you simply bought too small of a scooter for your needs. I have yet to ride my PCX wide open to try and keep up with traffic or to just stay out of everyones way... in fact, I am usually passing everyo...

Bike is all waxed and tucked up in the garage ready for next year dunno, whats the climate like where you are? does it regularly get below freezing day or night? snow, ice? how often? here in osaka it only gets below freezing a handful of days per year and sometimes at night but not often. there is...

really liking these after my first commute. they are very easy to install. i didnt have any problem with the levers or the wind blowing the muffs into the levers at speeds up to 90 KPH. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/kansai-riders/D640EF8F-CB6D-40FC-8F82-257842CE965B-682-0000007FF2100F87.jpg

i wear long underwear, whatever normal pants i want, and Aerostich Darien goretex overpants. works for me.

i was considering trying a Termoscud but was concerned that the rain might run down my jacket inside the termoscud and get me wet. comments from Termoscud users please?
