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

i like mine after about 1500miles. My concerns are similar to yours. 1. storage space under seat isn't as great as I'd hoped. My full face helmet will only fit upfront...it won't fit 2 helmets that fit my head. 2. mirrors aren't long enough to look around my shoulders 3. Seat hump takes away 4"...

Re: HONDA Forza NS300 / The best cruising bike ever..

i'm agreeing with you. I've owned other scooters in the past but the forza 300 is pretty close to perfect. Plenty of power, decent fuel economy and lots of storage. I'm not happy with the shape of the storage under the seat but I can make it work. My last Honda Reflex NSS250 I feel was roomier under...

Re: Custom Seat made in Thailand

i'd love to see a side by side comparison of that forza seat versus a stock one. Another 3-4" of legroom would be great for me. My knees rest on the dash right now.

Re: pcx is now no more

Supermattyp help us out, where is "too fast and hilly here?" I loved riding in Florida, but it gets Hot! Took the MSF course in 100 degrees. Smokin' Hot and not a bit of shade to be had. Here in the country on the Alabama/Mississippi state line. The speed limit is 60mph on the surface str...

Re: pcx is now no more

sorry about your bang-up. The bad news is you got popped on the roadway. The good news is you are in good enough spirits to get online and tell everyone. I've not ridden a pcx but I own a forza and can say that they are perfectly sized for my needs (which appear to be higher demand than everyone els...

Re: ATGATT or Squidding: What do YOU ride with?

Just jeans and no gloves at 60mph? I'm in the same boat as the bloke from Atlanta. It's routinely over 100* here with humidity 80%+. It's uncomfortable even wearing blue jeans most days. You know you live in a hot climate when your employers dress code is is designed more around avoiding heat strok...

Re: It's Electric!

Just my $0.02 worth here. I was actually in the process of buying a Zero S from my local dealer when I saw the Forza 300 that I ultimately ended up buying. The Zero is a world-class E-bike in every aspect. They are SCARY torquey and have more than ample power for any situation. I will be holding off...

Re: WTB: smartphone holder in middle of handlebars

I found an awesome mount I'm going to order from Austria. It's a piece of rubber that wraps around the bar and then you pull the corners over each corner of your phone. The. Name is Finn. If you Google finn bike mount you'll see it. They don't ship to the u.s. just yet but i have a friend in the u.k...

WTB: smartphone holder in middle of handlebars

Hey guys, I bought a Forza a few weeks ago and it came with a RAM mount system attached to the left handbrake. I don't understand why this location was chosen. I'm looking for some sort of simple pipe clamp I can attach to the single bar in the middle of the handlebars and mount my large smartphone ...

Re: ATGATT or Squidding: What do YOU ride with?

I wear a reflective HJC full face, padded mesh jacket with pads (no inner lining), blue jeans, leather shoes and no gloves. I tried but I feel like they get in the way. I've been riding for about 8 years and only had 1 off, a 10mph lay down in wet grass. Now I mainly ride highways above 60mph so mor...

Re: Another benefit of living in Thailand

main benefit of living in Thailand = the thai food!

I just finished a contract in Australia and got to experience Thai food in an entirely new way and developed a new appreciation for it.

Re: New Forza owner from S.E. USA saying hello.

Thanks for the tip Mboni. I was using my 64mpg x 3gal for an estimated 180miles but when I went below the E at 130 I started panicking. I didn't know if the mpg indicator was off or the fuel gauge....now I know which one is the bogus gauge. p.s. I have a lot of family in Georgia. We hail from Valdos...

Sorry for the lack of updates and info. I bought the bike on saturday and it's been storming every day since. I decided to risk the weather today and rode into town (40mile roundtrip) just to make sure I'm getting my moneys worth! I have to say I'm VERY upset about the fuel gauge on the bike and wil...

Re: New Forza owner from S.E. USA saying hello.

Thanks guys. I put about 140 miles on it todayand have to agree the suspension may be just fine. The seat however needs to go in the Trash bin immediately. So terrible. Need to really shop around for a shop to build me a custom seat.

Re: Project Legroom Complete!!

Looks great. I'm 6'3" and mostly all leg. If I can't get comfortable with the stock seat I may try to commission you to make me one like yours. Really great job on the fit and finish.
