How you been. How is the africa twin?

@rocketrollsvlogs7625 7 ай бұрын

@@motardsquid i sold the africa twin and am currently "bikeless". I had to make some other things financial priorities the last couple of years. Thinking of getting a scooter to address my bike fixation until i get another motorcycle or two. I can park the bike in my work garage downtown and ride it on weekends and around downtown.

I bought a 2022 Zuma (BWS125 here in Canada) as my first intro to scooters after 40 years of riding various bikes and I absolutely loved zipping around town on that thing. Fun and very practical for city riding, and that flat footwell made mounting and dismounting so easy...kind of reminiscent of being 12 yrs old riding up to the park and just hopping off of my bicycle on the fly. However I needed something that could take me down the highway, so after owning a Honda PCX150 for a year, I've settled on a 2016 Honda Forza 300...still not quite checking all the boxes, but until Yamaha offers colours other than 'Henry Ford Black' on the Xmax 300, it's Honda with it's azz backward horn and turn indicator arrangement for me.

Finally saw my first BWS a couple weeks ago. The owner told me it had been in the shop for months with "transmission" problems. Doesn't sound like you keep your rides long enough to determine reliability?

I disagree, the fuel filler is in the ideal location. It is on the same side as one would normally dismount and it is conveniently placed up high and easily accessible...and just as you, or your passengers should avoid getting in and out of your vehicle when re-fueling due to the potential for static buildup to create a spark, you should dismount your bike and keep your feet on the ground when re-fueling your bike...it's a very rare occurrence, but all it takes is one time for everything in your life to change.

DAMN Honda to Hell for changing up the horn and indicator placement. I'm on my third Honda since they implemented this change, and I still find myself fumbling when reaching for the horn in an emergency. Forty years of riding and my muscle memory refuses to adopt to the change. You might want to look at a bar riser to give you additional clearance for the turn lights. I added a riser to my PCX to move the bar up and away 3/4" in each direction, and found this to be absolutely perfect for me at 5' 9", and I have since added the riser to my 2016 Honda Forza 300, bringing the bar up and rearward for best reach. Risers can also be purchased with a single direction change only, I just happen to have one left over from my NC750XD that worked.

Horn should definitely be below indicators and any other button mandatory as a matter of safety

Now they have electric Zuma. The most beautiful scooter in my opinion is Suzuki epicuro 150 .. had it in red..

Yeah, scooters are so useful. The Suzuki Bergman 650 Executive is amazing. I think 250cc perfect size in town.

Do you think the turn signal lights could be moved??? Have you compared this scooter to a Honda ADV 160?

@motardsquid 7 ай бұрын

The signal can be moved, but also the handlebar is too low and the floor platform is too high. You can come and check the zuma out if you want. I do have it for sale ;)

@motardsquid 7 ай бұрын

Everything i can gather from the adv150 and the adv160 is that its much better than the zuma. But in a way it's not a comparison, the zuma is a rugged adv scooter that you go on trails. The adv is a killer 150 motor from honda that is smooth as silk(i imagine it being so just from riding my pcx). I appreciate the zumas looks, but the ergonomics are strange, and the 125 cc is made for euro motorcycle licensing standards. 150cc is the goldilocks of scooters.

Vespas and piaggio 150s have flat and low floor boards. I’ve had both. A Vespa racing 60s 150 and a Liberty 150s. The pcx is as comfy, but the I prefer the upright position on the Italian scooters.

@@1blackpaper I didn't say they were better. I said the floor is flat and lower. I said I preferred the seating position on the vespa. For the record, I have a PCX150 now. I had a 2020 GTS300 HPE and the motor drank oil so I sold it. If you think the floors are the same height, I recommend you sit on both and you'll know what I am talking about.
