Re: Rear tire size 2014 Forza 140/70-13

After putting a few hundred miles on the Michelin, I have to ask. Why didn't they design it in in the first place?
It is a very good tire.

Re: Rear tire size 2014 Forza 140/70-13

There is a ride difference; though the tire is fractionally taller, it shouldn't be enough to notice- but the difference is there. Maybe I am just in tune to how the ride 'used' to be. The shape 'seems' to be more rounded instead of a semi 'flat' surface of the Dunlop, but maybe it is because it is ...

I just put a 150/70-13 Michelin City Grip on mine; very happy with the performance.

Re: What are your positives/negatives about the Forza?

The faster you go the more fuel you will burn. Want better mpg? Use less throttle when moving off, ride slower, read the road ahead and control your speed with the throttle so that you reduce braking to a minimum. ^^^This^^^. I don't ride the throttle, but still take some decent slab time. I am now...

Beautiful 86 sunny degrees this Sunday, so I was down at the boat yard and docks and took some pics. Will share this one for now (others have to be downloaded and resized).

Re: PIX, fronts & rears

Good camera. I too have a Lumix- a ZS-5. A trick I learned on another board: I use a neck strap to hang the camera safely in my jacket when riding. It leads to quick shots that mean only a quick stop and shoot (and on rare occasions, only a shoot!). My riding is more fun when I can stop in the eveni...

Re: new forza in black

This is where the confusion arises. The static spectator may observe a colour shift towards red as the scooters go past and away, but as any Forza pilot will tell you, as you approach light speed and look down at the scooter it remains white. The red ones are only barely visible as little dots in t...

Re: new forza in black

As any color- white, silver, etc. moves faster and faster and faster away from you, the color shifts towards red.
