PCX -- The Attraction

The PCX is the perfect machine for you to build experience on, it has excellent road manners.
Maybe in time you'll move up to something bigger, maybe you'll find that the PCX does all you need it to in which case you won't have to.
If Honda did a PCX 200 I would probably have bought one instead of the Forza.

I fully agree!

And I'll need to get a motor bike drivers license if I want to drive something bigger, so better be sure that I want to. I can drive this one with my car drivers license (only in Belgium).

I just spent 3 1/2 months on an island where the highest speed limit is 45 mph - the PCX would be PERFECT there!

25 bikes over 45 years normal, 200+ of triumphs alone bull5hit.

You forgot the bit about more miles between servicing.

gn2, Shazam!! You swapped out earlier then said!

Kinda spur of the moment? Happy For Ya!
So, in addition to service intervals how's about a really good report on the the main stand (center)?

Oops...hush, that's ^^ Forza talk.
Back on topic, PCX attraction......"Oh the look, the touch, the feel" of a PCX twist'n'go. A buzz & a bye!

Honestly, the White screamed at me across the showroom floor while the Red pulled at my shirt tales. So glad me White was louder. We're a good pair, we are.

Not sure what you're trying to say... although BS is a recurring theme.

I was trying to say, badly, that it was nice that you weren't bullshitting or broadcasting about the number of bikes you have had.

Does Honda import the VT750S to the USA?
I think it would be popular over there

Only one Triumph for me, a '69 Bonneville, back when I was a teenager. I put over 20,000 miles on that bike in two years ... and 2 chains... 4 tires... a couple headlights... and countless quarts of oil.

It was cool at the time. Until the first Honda 750/4 pulled up alongside me at a stoplight. Dang near killed myself when I stepped off the bike at 60 mph, 'cause the Honda disappeared ahead of me so fast, I thought I was standing still!

It's important to understand the difference between a joke and BS.

......

....."True".....I "drooled" over my First Honda 750-4 when a Friend of mine bought a new one and took it on a 3-day Trip to the Smoky Mountains with me on my, at the time, 1967 Shovelhead Harley, the Other Three friends were on a 650 Triumph Bonneville, and two BSA 650s....while we were usually adjusting valves, chains, and/or kick-starting, He just hit the starter button, and ready to ride...

...I bought one when I got Home to use for extended trips...the Triumphs and Harleys gradually started getting relegated to more "Cruise Around Home" rides. Eventually, many years later, it became "Japanese Bikes Only" because of dependability, and now, it's "Honda only", although I did own 2 Kawasaki Ninja 250s, a Kawasaki Versys, Kawasaki Concours 1400, Triumph Speedmaster, and a Triumph Speed Triple in the last 5 years. "SO MANY BIKES, SO LITTLE TIME".....

You might have mentioned this before.

You should write a book. Then we would have the choice or reading it or not.
