The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Someone said it looks like a Vespa and a Lambretta had a kid....*









*But I wouldn't say that.....only going to raise the wrath of both camps!

More like a Lambretta. . ..

My DW had a TaoTao Roman (150cc) that looked just like that - same colour even. After 2 years I had to scrap it, as the plastics kept breaking and I could no longer get replacements. Mechanics were pretty good, but after fiber-glassing parts back together multiple times, and then being unable to get the replacement parts that I wanted, I called it a day.
Bought her a PCX instead - night and day!!

I read somewhere recently that Kymco has some subcontracts with Honda, so some of the major parts OR even the entire scooter could be made for Honda by Kymco. I am not sure which scooters they were referring to, but if they can make parts good enough for Honda, then they must make some pretty good scooters.

Up until 1963, according to what I've read, Kymco did manufacture parts for Honda. Then they split from Honda and formed their own company and marketed their first scooter in 1992 under the "KYMCO" brand. The rest is history. They were originally a Taiwanese company but also have manufacturing plants in other countries.

Here's a link to more info:

The Yamaha Zuma 125 is made in Taiwan.

My Genuine Roughhouse was made in Taiwan by PGO.

I have to say I've never been disappointed with the quality of scooters coming from there.

Interesting look.

Great photography very nice, … do you ever go to any other places /towns??
