Re: scooter rider

In all honesty, If I had a full bike licence, I would probably go for a NC750x DCT, granted its much heavier but has a hell of a lot more power but lighter than a Silverwing

Re: scooter rider
Welcome, Dick the Den.
Great forum here, lots of good folks who are glad to share their experiences and help when they can. I hope you stay on board and enjoy.
Through some weird twist of fate, I have both a PCX and a Forza, and I'd have to say that the PCX is much better in town than the Forza, which is noticeably bigger and heavier and somewhat less agile at low speeds and which does its best work on the motorway or on longer commutes. They're both great machines and each has its own strong points, but they're really not similar in any way other than the brand name.
^^^^^ ^^^^^ Strictly my opinion, of course ^^^^^ ^^^^^

Err, not really.triaxor wrote:I would probably go for a NC750x DCT, granted its much heavier but has a hell of a lot more power but lighter than a Silverwing
NC750 motor has 40kw
FJS600 motor has 37kw
NC750X weighs 219kg
FJS600 weighs 247kg
To get an NC platform bike with the level of comfort, weather protection, storage and luggage carrying capacity which the FJS enjoys, you would need an Integra (238kg) with a topbox and side cases and suddenly it starts to get a bit on the expensive and heavy side.
Or is that heavy and expensive?
Who can say.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: scooter rider
Wow! We have a rider that likes the NM-4! Cool dude! I thinks I like the Batman looks too
Whenever I'm in the showroom they never have one. Just keep on saying one's coming in..."stay tuned." Yeah, yeah.
Haven't been back in awhile, but I will sit my bum on one once there! Truth.

Re: scooter rider
When I was in my local Honda dealer deciding what scooter I was gonna go for they had a used Vultus (NM-4) in stock and on the showroom floor, I said to the salesman 'So what did batman go for after he traded this in, lol'

Did he avoid the small sage bush drifting gently by as he walked away?
Re: scooter rider
Probably because they don't want to be left with it sitting there gathering dust years later.WhiteNoise wrote:Whenever I'm in the showroom they never have one.
I've seen two, one on the road and one in the dealer.
The one in the dealer has been sat there a long time...

Actually he laughed, guess he knew what a sense of humour was.
