What are you trying to prove by showing pictures of your other bike and car?

Overcompensating..

[Gweiloman]

Is it just me or is anyone else reminded of Naam's avatar?

And here I wasted all this time trying to think of a polite way to comment on what must be the ugliest bike on earth.

You've nailed it!

Why do you feel the need to insult someone else's taste? Is your life so pathetic that you have to stoop to this level? Try and get out a bit more... then again, better not as you're probably not the best representation of western education and culture.

That taste is personal.............and that its my choice how I spend my money.

But you wouldn't understand would you?

Many thanks.

What is the total cost of the very nice PCX including all mods?

Don't know the answer for that particular scooter....but it has been said that some people are spending more on mods than they paid for their PCX new!

It looks great but I would be worried about leaving it anywhere!!

[BirdsandBooze]

IMO you've done a good job. Customisation is an individual thing so there'll always be people who don't like what the other guy has done, although most will make constructive comment rather than be impolite about it. The only thing I'd change is I'd have the sides of the seat in black and the top in red.

I would imagine that that would be fairly easy to do.

Ahhh don't worry about it. 'The Necron' ( ) is probably one of those stuck in the middle of Nakon Nowhere and is starting to get bored. Using Thaivisa is a means of compensating for the lack of face-to-face with other westerners.

Its a bit pathetic really.

Probably around 140 k baht now. The next stage is this bore-up kit. Just need to find a competent place to get it fitted and re-mapped etc

http://japan.webike.....ref=model-top/

It ain't about the money though, that's the point some people miss. Its about being individual and also practical to use. For example, when I lived in Korat, I had an Elegance for the quick shopping trips but also a Honda Blackbird. The point is, the roads are better there for the Blackbird..............you could get the power down on some great straights.

Could I use it in Bangkok though? Nada. Waste of time. I'd end up killing myself. I've also had the CBR 150's, Nouvo's, Hayate's etc but the PCX is the only one that I would be happy just jumping on and taking off to Phitsanalouk, Khon Kaen etc. The handlebars are custom on the PCX as well so width wise, its the same as a Nouvo Elegance...............so no problem squeezing through traffic.

It's always spur of the moment stuff with me. Waking up one day and thinking.................I'll pack my rucksack and take off to Hua Hin, or Koh Samet, Koh Chang.

If posters want to 'diss my bikes well, I think that says more about them............... than it does about me.

Must admit your pcx doesn't float my boat.........your Ducati on the other hand most certainly does.

As for your statement that it's your money, so you can do what you want with it, I must disagree. Now go and buy me a Hypermotard. :-)

[marstons]

I like the gloss black side panels might give that a go myself as it should not cost to much if you used the orginal panels. Whilst i would not spend that much on my work horse really its up to each indivdual what they spend their money on. No need for snidey rude comments.

You'll need several fine coats to get rid of the texture, followed by a laquer for protection.

I'm off to Hong Kong again and won't be in the shop for the next few days. However, I can be reached via Thai Visa PM or at [email protected] . Thanks.

Hi Marstons,

The tyres are IRC Wings. Brian from SumetCycle (sponsor) sorted them for me. Personally, I think they are great. Good in the wet and a good compound. Mine are fitted onto 13" mags but they are available for 14's too. Mine are wider than standard but I prefer more rubber on the ground.

YSS shocks are a definite improvement. Probably the best upgrade you can make. Be aware though that they come in different configurations. XL ....XXL etc. This relates to weight carried. 90kg, 110 kg etc.

I have attached a link which shows you. I have the G Euro's which cost around 3,700 baht. You can go much higher than that though, depends what you want to do with your bike.

Contact Brian at SumetCycle for more info. His wife Pam, is also around and is pretty knowledgeable.

Hi thanks i PM Brian yesterday but see he is in Hong Kong for a few days,i will order the wings off him and get them shipped to Pattaya.

Will give the shocks ago, looking on the site they are cheaper it appears than Mai Thai but will see if he will price match the store in BKK.

Thanks for the info, great looking bike.

I sent a PM this morning with the tire info, Marstons. I also have the YSS shocks you mentioned for 3,600 baht. Thanks.

Brian

Hi Brian,

Understand you're off to Hkg again. Will you back by the weekend? Still have any more of these YSS shocks? Am thinking of coming in this Saturday to get a set fitted (weight up to 110 kg).

[SumetCycle]

Yes, l will be back in the shop on Saturday and I've got plenty of YSS shocks in stock. See you then.

Where did the complainers go, in for a quick hit and out, typical Its a nice job on that red scooter. P did you notice any increase in power with the exhaust, and intake .

Yup. The increase in the mid-range was very noticeable. It beats stock 150's off the lights although they do tend to pass after about 300-400 meters. Hoping the big bore conversion will sort that out.

[yankee99]

@summit.....I am shopping for a new helmet. I visited your website and it needs a lot of work. Please take this a constructive criticism. Only six photos (some not good) and no prices. Normally i would just go to your shop but it is out of my area.....

I do like some of your bike prices which attracted me to shop a helmet through you...

[marstons]

Quick thanks Brian, the IRC wings arrived in Pattaya, got them fitted Monday, as expected felt a little hard (tyres not me), first stop was always going to be gas station with gauge, 79 in the front, 90!!! in the back. now put 33 in each feels way better and conering better.

Wished they would use gauges, 90lds is not even close to correct level.

I am waiting for VocalNeal to let us know about the Dyno test on the 150cc from Costa and then I will be upgrading when I get back to Thailand. The scooter looks good.

I am wondering what types of accesories are available for a 2012 Wave 125i?

Are there things like a aftermarket CDI that gives a nicer throttle response & power

increase as they do for trucks/auto's?

Thank You

You should look here.

Best to email the company though and ask. They generally respond

Thanks that looks interesting.

The only CDI related thing I have ever seen for the Wave 125i is this one...

Got the shocks fitted today. Boy, what a difference to the ride and handling. Hardly bottoms out except at fairly high speeds and nasty bumps. Highly recommended if you're heavy like me

Btw Brian, can you remember which model I had fitted? I forgot to ask for a receipt and as you know, I left the box behind.

Hello Brian

Please can you update on the latest price and avaliability of the crf250 ? Also do you know if a motard version will be released and when ?

Thanks

Mike
