Probably the best day of riding I will have this year. I get a little out of my comfort zone on some narrow roads and tight corners in the Brecon Beacons.

    Just got the same bike and had my first hour on it today... not very confident yet; stalled a couple of times and not suer what gear I'm in half the time but it's fun. Hopefully I will get better. Thanks for making this video.... it helps :)

      @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125 Před 2 lety

      I don't recall having issues but I'm a bit of a fairweather rider. I bought the bike second hand and I can remember when I got new tyres for it I could instantly feel the improvement.

  • @BlueSkiesMusic

    Great review but you seem a little inexperienced or not familiar with how the bike works, maybe get a little more practice

    Thanks for your observations, I am a similar size and weight as you, and tried the pcx and Forza 125 today, and founf the pcx too cramped, the forza is like riding a arm chair. The only thing putting me off at the moment is the substantial price of the Forza, but it does look cool ,

    My workmate has a PCX, I have an S wing. The S wing is bigger, posher and more powerful but not faster. 65mph both bikes. Its big plus is great pillion-carrying ability, which I regularly use. PCX too little. Otherwise I'd go for the PCX for the 115 mpg. As opposed to "only" 92mpg. (Actually it's Pantheon version that I have, essentially a pre-facelift S wing)

  • @TheTwistedStone
    @TheTwistedStone Před 7 lety

    Guessing your being a little unfair as you are looking forward to and possibly justifying your new purchase. Love my little YBR, great little filter machine and yes I have bigger bikes but nothing that gives you as much confidence slipping through heavy congestion... No its not the fastest bike in the world but you have to agree its a pretty manageable bike for most people ?

  • @Laufter100

  • @kassiedreaneai7459
    @kassiedreaneai7459 Před 7 lety

    Scenery is nice. Cannot go wrong on a country road. More speed is not why one gets a scooter. Suspension can be a bit harsh on bumps also with more speed. You ride to enjoy, not for video or anything else. Other scooter riders will appreciate it for what it is. Good music choice too.

    Hi @kronos_rides_about_a_bit do you find there is a lot of wind noise over the windscreen? how do you combat it?

    • @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125
      @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125 Před 7 lety

      Yes i did. I did try clipping a screen extension to top of screen which did eradicate the noise but I felt that the screen couldn't really support the extra weight so I took it off again. Also I didn't like looking through it. Perhaps a smaller deflector might work.

  • @Aeoryx
    @Aeoryx Před 7 lety

    Cool vids mate. Got myself a YBR to practice on before doing a course and have been riding about a bit too. Was wondering if you had any tips as your gear changes seem fine. I really struggle sometimes going from 1st to 2nd sometimes and it jams in neutral (so bad when in traffic). All other gear changes up and down are fine. I've tried pushing harder on the selector lever but it seems to block occasionally until I play with the clutch a bit. Did you experience this?

    • @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125
      @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125 Před 7 lety

      My bike drops into neutral between first and second sometimes but I have never had it jam in neutral. I have developed muscle memory now so when it does go into neutral I automatically just click again on the gear lever. I have had problems finding neutral in which case I either throttle up a bit and very slightly engage the clutch then disengage again, then shift, or I roll the bike forward or backward a little. This turns the cogs somewhere and will then let me shift into neutral. Pushing harder doesn't sound like a good idea to me. If you are applying gentle pressure to selector before using clutch I would expect it to slip in easily when you clutch in (from 1st to 2nd).

  • @garethmason7920
    @garethmason7920 Před 7 lety

    Great review. I had a PCX but swapped to Forza a week ago and so happy i did. Like you said PCX are built for being nimble but the issue i had going down main roads was i was stuck behind lorries as it struggled to overtake. My Forza on otherhand can do up to 70mph which is more then enough to pass lorries and to get back into lane afterwards. So i would deffo reccomend a Forza now over a PCX

    • @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125
      @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125 Před 7 lety

      I also felt like I had more presence on the road on the Forza also. I didn't feel uncomfortable on dual carriageways which I did/do on the pcx and now the YBR.

    I have a honda forza, but i wanna mount my go pro to the scooter itself. I can't find a good place to mount it in front of the scooter, do you have a solution for this. I want my gopro behind my windshield.

    • @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125
      @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125 Před 7 lety

      hmm, the only thing I can think of is a suction mount on the windshield itself or something to attach to one of the brake fluid reservoirs maybe.

  • @elvantorro
    @elvantorro Před 7 lety

    How did you mount your go pro to your helmet? With the original gopro curved adhesive mount?

  • @darkopopovic5516
    @darkopopovic5516 Před 7 lety

    Great countryside you have there mate! I do enjoy exploring the smaller back roads myself! I always enjoy seeing the rides through small English villages as they are so different to what we see here in Australia. Was there a football game on or something? Those drunks were hilarious! What part of England are you in? I hope you got the bike sorted out OK. Thanks for joining us in Sync The Planet 2016 mate. It was great riding with you.

    Hi Kronos, I have to agree with Boon Doggle, you need to ride in the centre of your lane. Other road users will keep on trying to get past you if you constantly hug the gutter. Besides all the detritus off the road surface tends to gather in the gutter and you have a greater risk of getting a puncture

  • @abdullahesp2422

    hi tnx for the video . i am still not sure which one to buy forza or pcx my main concern is passing through traffic . i am using the bike for couriers .passing through stopped car in traffic is the forza easy like the pcx ? and the indicators are on the mirror if in case fall down to the ground while on side stand (is it expensive the original mirror with the indicator ?) tnx again

    • @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125
      @kronos_rides_about_a_bit6125 Před 8 lety

      +Abdullah Espanol Its alot more stable at slower speeds than pcx. Probably not as nimble purely due to the extra weight. Mirror units are about £60.00 uk pounds each.
