Re: Matched set of Michelin or Pirelli tires

I'm due to replace my tires within a couple of months I can only talk about the market in Australia. When my Forza's tyres needed replacing at abut 5,000 km I COULD NOT BUY DUNLOP OEM TYRES, not even through Honda Aust. I chose Pirelli Diablos and after another 5,000+ km I'm reasonably happy. They ...

Re: City grips vs. OEM dunlops

Due to unavailability of City Grips in Oz, I've been running the Pirelli Diablos for the past 3 months and find them a great replacement for the original IRCs. Definitely a softer compound and feel a lot more precise on corners. Probably won't last as long , but a definite improvement for my style ...

Re: City grips vs. OEM dunlops

Hi all, I'm planning on going the citygrips simply because they are $50 cheaper and most reviews I have seen rate them similarly. Thanks all. Hi! idontwantaname1234, If its not too late have a look at Sava brand tyres. I switched from Dunlops (rubbish) to Pirellis and next time to Sava. Regards, Pe...

Re: Forza Vs PCX

Went to local bike shop and am drawn to change my PCX to a Forza but not sure if this is worth it as same 125cc, could you give me your opinions Be interested to hear view points Thank you In Australia we only have the Forza NSS300 model; so a 300 is, IMHO, much better than a 150!

Chicaboo,

Look at the Scooter Community forum; you don't get much bad behaviour over there.

Re: Kymco DT 350i vs Forza 300

Chicaboo! Can I offer some comments? Like you, I also live in Australia. I have owned my black Forza 300 for several years. I use it around town and also for light touring with trips lasting from one to seven days. My first gripe was THE SEAT! I found it awful, I'm not that tall but probably a littl...

Re: 2016 Forza is here...

It's not a shock, it is just disappointing. Take a look at the Honda Silver Wing Scooter. They are still trying to sell 2013 year models! Do a side by side comparison of a 2013 Honda Silver Wing to a 2015 Yamaha TMAX... I just wish Honda would put a little more energy into presenting newer models/u...

Mainly because they only sell the Forza in Black or White :roll: My Black one is MUCH faster than the White ones 8) :lol: ;) Back to the original post; you will find your new Forza...

A FULL TANK

I was out for a ride on my Forza this morning and needed to get some fuel. Whenever I fill the bike I take a great deal of trouble to get the last few mls of petrol into the tank; petrol is just starting to run out of the filler :o :roll: . That said, as I rode away from the filling station my fuel ...

Yeah I suspect your correct about that. I was just talking after some of the stuff I read about the lack of updates to the Silverwing. Its time for Honda to add some of the refinements. BTW have you checked out the updated Yamaha TMax that was brought back to the US this year? Looks like a slick ri...
