2014 Forza

Anyone know if there are any left over new 2014 Forza with ABS. I'd buy one at around $3800.

Re: Make some noise

For me Noise is for boys.. I think the American mentality stemming from the bad boy look of the gang groups back in the 50's gives it the popularity and attractiveness of many folks today. The appearance of some that drive the biggest noise makers are generally (not all) deplorable, unkempt, and sc...

Re: What Would You do?

For me, ABS is a must have, simple as that. The loss of skin is painful, trust me!

Re: Deal Fell Through

Hello, PCXers, I am unhappy to report that my truck sale fell through today, and, thus, I will not be able to purchase the Honda PCX at this time. However, I will get one, certainly, by this time next year. :( Would it be ok if I stay on this Forum with all of you great folks? Perhaps I can be an h...

Re: Pro & Cons, Switching from Burgman 650 to Forza

If you have no problems handling the Burgman, why spend money on another bike? Keep the Burgman. So what if you're doing only 5k miles a year? Or do you really just want a change of bike? (that's okay, too) Heck, I have three bikes and I probably don't ride 5,000 miles a year on the three combined,...

Re: Pro & Cons, Switching from Burgman 650 to Forza

When I owned my Burgman 400, there was...and I believe still is, a section on youtube video in which a guy would demonstrate how to disassemble the bike for certain types of maintenance. He showed how to do the valve checks, how to take the back end apart n order to put a Givi tail box on...which I...

Re: Pro & Cons, Switching from Burgman 650 to Forza

In my opinion, Honda quality cannot be beat. Sadly there is a great deal of variation in reliability between Honda models. The ones manufactured in Thailand are plagued with poor quality componentry and manufacturing/assembly defects. The Forza is made in Thailand. By 20,000 miles my Forza had: (in...

Re: Pro & Cons, Switching from Burgman 650 to Forza

I appreciate all responses. I have zero issues handling the Burgman, but the fact my pillion buddy, Pugsley, a 9 year old Pug/Lapso Apso is reaching old age, just don't want to subject him to brutal weather, etc, etc. We've logged 67,000 miles on three different bikes, but it looks like those days m...

Pro & Cons, Switching from Burgman 650 to Forza

At almost age 74, I'm contemplating the switch from my beloved Burgman 650 Executive to a new Forza ABS. I'm wondering if any members have experience in this issue. The main reason is that my touring mileage has dwindled from 15,000 to 5,000 yearly. It seems the 650 is an overkill for the low miles ...

Re: Pros and cons of going from 300 Forza to Silver Wing?...

I'm in the opposite situation, since considering switching from a Burgman Executive 650 to a Honda Forza ABS. However, I'll be 74 in a few days, otherwise would keep the Burgman. I've still not ridden the Forza, but will when the weather clears here in Michigan. The Silverwing is a great bike, but s...

Good for you on waiting for the ABS model. If that Peugeot were available in the U.S, no doubt I'd own one.

Re: Garmin Zumo 665LM

I too am planning on going the Zumo 665LM route for my Burgman 650, eventual Forza, etc. My last Zumo, a 550 had extremely low volume. Is the 665 better? Wish I could help you with the Bluetooth issue, but no experience with them. However, when I get the 665 I'll be using some sort of Bluetooth syst...

Re: 2016 Forza is here...

I have just done that. I had a 2005 Burgman 650 and sold it and bought a 2014 Honda Forza. The Forza is Fantastic. I love it, but it does not have the power of the Burgman 650. I don't need the power of the 650, and this is why I switched to the Forza. The Honda Forza will do 70mph all day down the...

I'm seriously considering a switch from my Burgman 650 Executive to a new Forza. Can anyone tell me if large replacement seats are available?

I'm considering downsizing from my Burgman Executive to a new Forza. Has anyone on this forum switched from a 650 maxi scooter to a Forza, and if so, opinions?

Re: disrepecting the Donald

Like I said, forget the Donald. Listen to the issues. Get concerned about the issues. Many politicians saw nothing in all sorts of ways. Take any issue Trump mentions and try to see the problem and a possible solution, don't just be against what he says. Just knowing that the issue is real can be e...
