Re: Honda X-ADV

I too love the look/styling of it...would have brought one if available now.....needed to change bike, Honda could not give a firm date of when it would be in the country....so I went for a Burgman.
One sale lost.

Re: Honda Vision nsc 110 oil drain hole thread damaged.

Don't mess about with thread tape, this bolt keeps your oil in the engine thus keeping your bike alive. Take it to a bike shop and have the thread Heli -Coiled...problem solved for under ten quid. The tape keeps the oil in so you can ride it there to get the proper helicoil job done... ;) (I once r...

Gone to the dark side

My daily commute changed from 40 miles round trip to 122 a fortnight before Christmas.....the Forza handled it ok, but I was on the limit of it for a period of the journey, so today I picked up a nice new Burgman 650. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from this group for which I thank you all. I w...

Re: Speed ?

I find the Forza heavy and clumsy in parking lots. I've had lighter scooters and motorcycles. The Forza is a hundred pounds heavier than my DR650. WHY??? I always found it a bit odd that a 300cc is not twice as fast as a 150cc. Not even close. I don't think I would have been happy with a PCX on our...

Re: Another 2014 - 2015 Forza Recall in US

Half an hour to check but will need more time if replacement is required. Got my letter today as well, that's three recalls and six warranty repairs in three years. Pretty poor. You could look from another point of view and think pretty good...they have bothered to keep track and rectify any compon...

Re: Tucano Urbano Leg Cover Review (initial impressions)

I purchased one today.....bargain fair weather price so I could not say no. Can they be folded away and not used when the weather is nice? Tried fitting it today......think I got the wrong one, does not seem to even come close! The one I brought is a R164... Anyone know if this is correct for a 201...
