Re: Current Offers from Honda Don't Include Scooter Discount

Offers will often be based on excess stocks, new models due, etc hence some models may not be included.

Re: When is it time to move up to a Big Boy Bike?

Actually the NM4 is rather shit on storage, most of it is impractical.

Storage is one of those things that you find easy to forget about when you have it but once you've been riding for a while without it then it'll probably be rather annoying.

Re: So are City Grips the way to go?

Michelin City Grip 150/70-13 fits the Forza 300 rear just fine. I have had two. The first lasted 16323 km and the second has 14634 and still going strong but I have a Michelin 150/70-13 Power Pure SC on standby. My original Dunlop lasted until 9819 km when I got a staple that punctured the tire tha...

Re: 2017 Model Forza, Will it exist in the USA ???

I would say beyond changing the 2016 number to 2017 there is in effect going to be no Forza 300 change/update.

Re: PCX150 Rear Suspension

It is ultimately a lightweight reasonable cheap scooter, thus it has fairly basic suspension but at least you can upgrade it.

Yeah although this time at half tank I was on 53 miles, perhaps sitting around a while hasn't helped. A picture of my dirty Burgman 400ZA:

Re: At last, new Burgervan 400

Mine is a 2013/2014 model but is a UK version so I believe is a different setup, still seems odd one filament on highbeam side never appears to come on. I wish the fuel gauge moved slowly but making it to half tank with only 36.2 miles covered it moves kind of fast.

Re: At last, new Burgervan 400

I do have a few oddities I'm trying to resolve with the Burg 400, the first being that while the fuel use is a little high 12.5mpl, which is probably due to cold weather and getting used to the burg, the fuel gauge seems be behaving very oddly. In essence at the 1/2 tank mark I had only covered 36.2...

Re: At last, new Burgervan 400

The new Burg does lose 20 litres of storage space. Personally I recently purchased a second hand Burg 400 with only 2500 miles on the clock, currently evaluating the MPG which is a little lower than I expected but that is probably due to this cold weather and the short journeys and also the odd fuel...

Re: 55 Litre top box on a Forza 300

I kind of hold the same opinion on most of it, quite frankly if they don't see you with the basic visual clues such as lights, body reflectors, etc they were never going to see you. As an example the side reflectors aren't much use because the only person who can really see them is the person about ...

Re: Forza Update

I doubt there is going to be any update to the Forza 300, personally I'll be taking delivery of a 2014 Burgman 400ZA next week and eventually sell my 2014 PCX. A agree with getting rid of the PCX, it has no ABS, and is not fast enough for the highway. Why a Burgman ??? That thing is HUGE and feels ...
