The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Bravo! Nicely done BB. Looks like you're all set for a tour!

You're welcome BB, glad you like them. You know, I wonder if the round cover came with longer bolts and I just overlooked them and accidentally threw them away. The box everything came in was packaged poorly. I am very surprised there was no damage to the items.

Branyers14! Funny you posted this. A couple of weeks ago, I was calling an Out-Of-Town (30 Miles) Honda/Suzuki Dealer, looking for a Burgman 400. ... a Used Honda Silverwing..... WITH 300 MILES ON IT!!! Not sure what the year was, but they were offering it to me for $6,900 at the time. Couple deale...

Thanks BB! Covers are en route!

BB you got first dibs. Sent you a PM.

Got a set of red drivetrain covers from PowerbyForza.com. These are really nice, but as you know, are of no use to me since I traded in my Forza.

Thought I'd post here so more people would see it. $75 shipped. Any takers?

If 50mph+ is a death wish on a Forza, what would it be on a PCX150 or even my Vino 125? Actually, my PCX felt more stable at speed. Was less squirrely and handled road irregularities better. Go figure. Not making this up, it is just my personal experience with both bikes. A bigger engine/more weigh...

Branyers14, I sure never had a problem with the wind when I had my Silverwing. It was steady, stable, comfortable and fast. I went ahead and traded in my Forza today and bought a new Burgman 400. I was the happiest guy in the world during the 50 mile ride back home from Sacramento. It feels so nice...

Wind doesn't seem to be an issue for the Silverwing, even though it has the same size tires as the Forza. The stock suspension is also beefier and handles road irregularities much better. I like the fact that the Wing was manufactured and assembled in Japan. Gives me that peace of mind that this bik...

Hey thanks a lot! Mine does indeed have ABS. I had more trouble actually getting it OFF the center stand. I have a bad back too, and I can see where the bike might get me into to trouble on an off day. So I will stick with the side stand for now. I know what you mean about the Forza. It is not a bad...

Well I took the plunge for $2000 and my Forza. They could not be talked down any. The Silverwing is really not that much larger than the Forza, but it is hella heavy! I am just using the side stand for now. I was wrong about the mileage, it has 8900 miles on it. Still starts right up and runs very s...

Agreed, but since $2K was their initial offer, I'm thinking I have some wiggle room.

Should I offer $1250 and work from there? I want the Wing.

Yes, 2014 Forza with 2000 miles. Silverwing has just under 6K miles but I know it is good for many more. I fired it up and it runs strong.

Oh man, there's a used Silverwing at my dealership, 2012 model, 5900 miles. They will trade my Forza for $2K. Should I take the plunge for that amount? I really want something that can handle tours and cruise smoothly at 80mph. While the Forza is a capable machine, it is really screaming at 80mph. I...

I'm telling you, if you want performance, lighter is better. My Malossi variator shipped with 12g weights for a reason.

Kompact wrote:"See what happens when you ride sensibly?!"

Where's the enjoyment in that. Might as well trade it in for a station wagon. The Forza's fun to rip around on

So true, it's much harder for me to do the speed limit than it is to just go balls out.

I'm running 16g rollers, so I am very happy to see 68mpg. I was running 12g rollers, and while the performance was phenomenal, I couldn't live with getting only 50mpg. No matter how I rode it, 50mpg. So I divided up the 12g and stock 21g rollers for a happy median. The Malossis are nice btw, I have ...

For a full tank though? If so, how?

Scary accurate mpg estimates by Honda.
