Decisions, decisions...(new guy)

[Bash On!]

First mod I got was the rack. Very useful. Required for a top case or for strapping on items that won't fit elsewhere.

Regarding the windshield, I like the stock one. But in 100-degree F + weather, I'm looking for max airflow. You may not have that issue up north. Ride it for a bit before you order a bunch of stuff.

New addition to the garage!

My only concern is...will I get bored with it. I don't think so...but having never owned something so small, the thought has crossed my mind.

But as others have mentioned, I do find it fun and sooo easy to ride. So easy in fact, I seemed to enjoy the scenery a bit more than I had in years.

Boredom's not an issue. The 150 is highway legal but you must be patient with acceleration. It's got pop, but it is more geared toward 0 to 45 than it is 0 to 70.

Suspension/Power are the only two considerations. Spending nothing on gas is the big counterbalance.

Hey RRocket!

Boredom's not an issue. The 150 is highway legal but you must be patient with acceleration. It's got pop, but it is more geared toward 0 to 45 than it is 0 to 70.

No amount of gearing will help any 125/150 in the 45-70 range, regardless if it's CVT or manual. I had a CBR 125R, with a 0-35 of about 5 seconds, 0-50 of about 10 seconds, and 0-60 in 20 seconds, redlining the crap out of that poor 13HP engine. Doing 70mph relied on having no head wind or doing a race tuck.

I think that largely depends on how many backroads you have, whether or not you need to go on the highway, and whether or not you enjoy shifting gears.

He's had fast bikes in the past and he has a Porsche now, I think he's covered for speed.

Don't feel too bad. I am moving from a`2004 Goldwing GL1800 to a 2015 PCX150 and couldn't be more excited. I pick it up tomorrow. I love the Goldwing but I want something more nimble, spritely, and fun around town. Plus the mileage is a bit better. I am sure the snooty riders will no longer bother me with waving since I am a lowly scooter now, screw em!

We want the bar pirates to keep their hands on the handgrips anyway. Safer for the rest of us...or maybe not.
