Which tyres are recommended for good milage/grip on the Forza 300/350?

And how many miles can I expect to get out of the best tyres? I would love to have something which gets 8k, same as the maintenance schedule.

Re: New Forza 350

Apart from Thailand do we know if its being released anywhere else? The displacement increase is basically what motorcycle manufacturers do in order to get as good or better bhp than the previous generation while reducing emissions to comply with stricter standards. For Thailand, this wouldn't actu...

Re: New Forza 350

First time I saw a Forza 350 parked in the mall, in Phuket... This already had some mods done to it, I didn't know they delivered already...! First ones were delivered around two or three months ago. Been checking vids on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mql5fLLCxc This was one of the firs...

Re: How comfortable is the Forza 300 for various ride length

Which Forza, mk1 or mk2? They have markedly different seating positions. As with all ergos, what fits one person may not suit another. I found the Forza 300 mk1 comfortable enough for my needs, only rode it a very few times for longer than an hour and it was comfortable enough no matter how long I ...

How comfortable is the Forza 300 for various ride lengths?

I was discussing the Forza with someone yesterday which said that while it was very comfortable for short rides, due to a soft seat, it wasn't as comfortable for long rides due to poor ergonomics. So from those of you who have one, how comfortable is the Forza 300 for 2-6 hour long rides? Is it unco...

Re: 6 foot on 2nd gen model?

It'll probably be less cramped than the original because the seat is higher relative to the footboards (and the ground) Your height is less of a factor than your leg length. Plenty review videos. Mr. Fish said he would buy one despite it being a bit small for him, but I believe he's a really big fe...

Re: Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?

You probably get away with it occasionally, but on regular basis, not a good idea. If you have to slow down to 30 or 20km to go around tight bends the CVT disengages. I have been up and down a lot of hills , but not that extreme and only 10-15min continuous down hill only... NC750x with DCT is a be...

Re: Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?

Nope, too steep, bends too tight, too often, too far! A nice 300-500cc motorcycle with a set of gears is what you need. Fish Yeah, but that makes it way harder to carry luggage. I'll be using whatever motorcycle I buy for everything from quick grocery runs to fishing trips. Both the NC750X and CRF2...

Re: Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?

That is an extreme road. The Forza would do it easily but I would not want to do it more than once. I have ridden the NC750X with DCT. I want one. The DCT should always be in the right gear also. I don't know. The Forza freewheeling goes on and off. It makes a freaky ride. Not pleasant. I have a si...

Re: Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?

I live in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. Where are you? Asia I presume. The Forza handles the mountains quite well. I have hit the rev limiter a few times at 140 kmph and 9000 rpm. I ride the Coquihalla Highway often up to about 5000 ft. No problems. The Forza was really interesting com...

Can a Honda Forza 300 engine break?

I'm back with what is possibly another silly question. But I'm considering buying the Forza 300/350, and I live in a very mountainous area, which means riding for up to 20-30 minutes on continuous down hill roads. That means that the brakes tend to get very hot if overused, which can be dangerous. S...

Re: New Forza 350

Apart from Thailand do we know if its being released anywhere else? No, we don't "know". But the most likely future for this scooter is that it will be released in all markets where the Forza 300 is currently sold. The displacement bump is very likely a way for Honda to retain the same pe...

Re: How is the Forza on unpaved roads?

Actually it not bad on unpaved roads. I have hundreds of kilometers on unpaved roads. You have to ride to the conditions. It is not a dirt bike. You have to go really, really slow. You go around the pot holes. It only has two inches of suspension. I have had dual sports before the Forza. The Heiden...

How is the Forza on unpaved roads?

Mostly a stupid question but I would appreciate accurate answers. Considering to buy a Forza for pleasure and fishing trips.
