The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Well I'be went and done it! Replacing the PCX with a Sym GTS 300i Evo. We'll I've put the order in for the Sym. So hopefully get it with in a couple of weeks. If not I'm away on holiday for a week so might be a while till I see it. Will miss the PCX. But just wanted something a bit bigger. Will keep you posted.

Nice choice .... What colour you go for?

Cool! Sym's are great bikes, you'll love it.

I'm going with a friend of mine to look at a RV250 today, funny coincidence.

Be sure to post pics up, we love scooter pics.

It's dark grey. It was that or black, so after having black PCX thought I would try a different colour Will post pics when I get it.

It would be nice if you could get proper colours rather than something from the colour pallette of 1920's cinema.
Nearly every decent maxi-scooter in the UK is white, black or shades of grey these days.

Yeah I know what you mean, very limited choice. Were obviously not allowed to have bright colours unless it's a Vespa!

Good luck with your Sym. I have a Sym Mio 50cc scooter. Rode about 6500km with it without problems. I like it a lot but it isn't nearly as a smooth ride as a PCX, nothing is.

I had a Kawasaki Z1300DFi which makes the PCX feel like an old tractor with an out of balance crankshaft.
It was like riding a gas turbine on a floating pillow of silk.

Meh, that's an apples-to-oranges comparison. You might as well compare the PCX to a Goldwing. Of course the giant cruiser with an assmassager and heated seats will be more comfy.

I added bar-end weights to my PCX, and dynabeads. It took a good ride and made it smooth as silk. The bars feel like an extension of my hands, it's amazing.

How many ounces on the bar weights? Did you do the modifications separately? Wondering how the bar weights helped out. They made a huge difference on my SV650, but I went with the heaviest ones i could find at 10 ounces each.

I have no idea how heavy they are, actually. A guy just gave them to me, he had a spare set with him on the scooter ride we went on last weekend. They're WAY heavier than the stock ones -- at least 5-10 times heavier.

Haha! well thats cool. I bet you're hands are feeling better. They helped me out with vibrations big time. Might be worth buying a set.. You can find them fairly cheap. Cheap and easy mods are the best =]
