The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Ok, I was wrong This is May 2014, My New Bike IS the 2015 model. Paid my deposit and waited 12 days as the dealer was busy.
I got an Alarm fitted and a GIVI top box. I called to collect it as arranged only to find it was delayed due to them fitting an immobilizer Alarm, the immobilizer part of it is not compatible with the pcx wiring, But at a later date they will try again.

Anyway i set off into rush hour traffic it handles great.

Clocking up the miles and discovering things like the avg mpg indicator, i am getting 127.9 MPG, Fantastic!.

Very Nice Indeed! Many smilin' miles await you.
Me? Still waiting for a mere glance of one here in the states.
You are fortunate to have yours, (I feel a jealous streak coming on )

I like the new dash implementation, but for me the biggest want is the larger tank. I know I can get another 20-30 miles on the reserve, and I carry an MSR bottle worth the same, but why should I need to? Where'd they find the extra tank space that wasn't on the 2013 model?

I'll probably just upgrade to a Forza in good time. Or an automatic CTX700.

I would love it if someone actually did find a way to upgrade the tank on our older models. That is the one thing i miss about my Burgman. Yes, it got worse gas mileage than the PCX, but not so much so that it would run out at the same time as the PCX. I always had to carry extra fuel just in case my wife's PCX ran out of fuel. It was easy to forget that she would run out way before me. Now we both have PCX 150s, so our trip planning has to be around fuel stops.

Welcome to your new ride. I am wondering if you are our first member from Northern Ireland. I don't recall see that location listed before .... but lets not get into location listing or we might get WhiteNoise going again ... only joking WN

Sigh. Seat keep open mechanism....

Nice bike - looks good in red. Although I went for the white one, which has a nice semi-sparkly white finish, the red does look great too. Even the black semi-sparkly paint I saw in the dealers on Visions was nice.

Although I cannot judge mpg exactly due to filling up about 20 miles after hitting the last bar, the MPG meter shows an average of 130mpg and a manual calculation gave that figure too - so great mpg. When not stuck in non-filter friendly traffic, I'm regularly doing 30 or 40mph as roads permit (no major A roads on my commute).

Wow that red is HOT! Is the new red darker than the old red?

Not sure what the old red was.
This is Sienna Red and its like a Pearl/Metalic Red.

Although i think this year the Red will be Like the Himalayan White, I see it everywhere.

I had 2 long runs, after the first i was going for it 62 ish MPH for a long stretch mpg went down to 121 mpg. But i did do 180 on a tank and filled up with 3 bars left on the display. so could have got more.

Absolutely fantastic MPG.

Thinking of installing one in mine ... something like this:



Ben.

^^ That should do it!

ewing65, I've asked this question elsewhere and still waiting the answer. Would you mind sharing the Brand Tire on your New(est) PCX scoot? Are they still IRC? Sizes the same?

Lol . Can I have one in red please
