My rear Diablo lasted around 7500 miles, I think I can get an easy 10k out of the Angels.

Re: Pirelli Angel tires Good or Bad ?

I am using these right now. Prior to these I was using first gen Pirelli Diablos. I like them but if I had to do it all over again I wish I had just stuck to the Diablos which are now replaced by the Rosso Diablos. That extra grip is noticeable upon deep leans and overall that great sporty feel is w...

I agree!! Its a graceful kind if rotund look. In a good way. All in one lines unlike some of the newer 300 with different angles here and there. I go in my garage just too look at my 15 Forza

Re: This is me!

I have no regrets about stepping up to a 300, my prior scooters were PCX125 and SYM HD200.

The only time I really feel the weight of a 300 is pushing it around the garage, but the good news is all the 300s coming out now are lighter than the first gen Forza 300.

I don't plan on ever selling mine.

Re: Thunder Beach

I use to ride a Sv650 and by mistake put on a loud aftermarket full exhaust. It was made by M4. It was a health hazard to your ears even with earplugs. I wonder why any rider would ride with those loud pipes. You annoy neighbors and damage your hearing. I was able to find someone with wanted those e...

Re: Tire wear Forza 300

I got my Forza 300 used and replaced the stock Dunlops early. I had wanted a better sportier ride and went with Pirelli Diablos and got about 7500 miles out of the rear which is expected for that type of tire- soft and sporty. I have played with PSI a little to get the best ride and I think Honda na...

Re: Heidenau K66 4-Season Scooter Tire

I got my Forza used, the area below the key hole has many scratches from keys dangling. So I covered it up with black Gorilla tape.

Re: Forza Needs New Tires.

I now have a matching set of Angles on. I find if I set them 2 pds lower psi front and rear than 25/28 to offer best blend of handling and comfort. I think these Angels take a while to feel fully scurbed in and ready to rail in the corners. The Diablos gave ultimate grip but they cost too much.

Re: Have a 2013 PCX. Should I upgrade, get a 2019, DCT, or

I found a dealer that had an XMax 300 in stock. Liked the looks, but it seemed so top heavy... like heavier than the Yamaha MT-07!! The CTX700 certainly feels way lighter. If the Forza and Silver Wing both feel as top heavy as the XMax.... then I guess the CTX is probly the only other bike I'd cons...

Couldn't wait to get rid of mine, so much so that I traded it before I had finished paying up the finance on it.
No regrets going back to a scooter.
You had a SV650 right? What scooter did you get back on.

That one size up on my 2014 Forza made the speedo spot on! The orig. size was not avail. in the USA at the time mine was destroyed by a piece of metal. Scoot no longer read faster than my actual speed. Fish dang, sounds like I should have gone one size up instead of sticking with stock 300 Forza si...

Re: Forza Needs New Tires.

Is this for the 1st gen? If its 1st gen rear size is 140 70 13 which no one makes except for Pirelli who offers the Angel Tire in that size and that is what I have. For the front you have many choices. I suggest a matching front and rear because manufacturers design tires to work best in pairs. I am...

Re: Swapped CBR500R for Forza300

You will love the Forza. I consider like someone else said a magic carpet ride. I have 13,000 miles on mine and that is by far the longest I have ever held on to a 2 wheeled toy. Most of the others dont last more than 2 riding seasons.
