Re: New Forza 300 article from Motorcycle .com

That slightly taller seat height figure worries me a little. I've always thought of the current Forza as having flat-foot issues, though they are mostly on account of the broader seat and wide body. Maybe the new Forza redesign addresses that.

Re: New Forza 300 2018 is coming!

Sweet! Same Forza, but with nice updates. Love the windshield, for one thing. But would anyone buy this Forza in the US if it were offered here? Suzuki offers that nice new Burgman 400, a very similar scooter, and they don't seem to be flying off the showroom floors. I would buy one, though, if I di...

Those parts look great on your scoot, especially against the white bodywork. Sweet upgrade !

Welcome, rc51ny, and thanks for the great photo.

Do you still have your rc51? How's it holding up? Great bike IMO.

Re: Maybe buying a 2015 Forza

Good deal. Welcome to the Forza group. I would keep that Givi top box mounting plate and get a big Givi top box to go on it.

Best grocery getter ever!

Congrats,

Re: Maybe buying a 2015 Forza

I see that this Forza has Cortech saddlebags and tail bag and a tunnel bag. That's maybe $250 or so if you bought them new. It also appears to have a Givi top box mounting plate installed, which would be another $100, if I remember correctly. The former owner probably kept the Givi top box for his n...

Re: Windshield extension

Johnny, I have the large Honda screen but it is a little too large for the too short me. Do you have the adjustable screen? How is it in a big wind? Dave, my Givi is the one-piece, not the adjustable one. Its top is just a little above my sight line (I'm 5'9" or so) but that doesn't bother me ...

Re: The daylight period is getting longer again!

My friends, let's all look at the upside and have hope and great expectations for the new year. Spring is headed our way momentarily and that holiday that is so tough on so many people is now in our rearview mirror.

So Happy New Year to all and keep the shiny side up!

Re: Windshield extension

I have a Laminar Lip installed on a short Forza screen (That's my scooter on the laminarlip.com Forza page). It works really well, but I decided to go with the large GIVI screen because at the time I was doing a lot of freeway riding on the Forza and I wanted the max available windshield protection....

Re: Vibration shudder taking off

Now, now easyrider, everything is relative. Many of us love our PCX and think it is just what we need, so it is better for us than a Forza. :-) Speaking from my own perspective of course after riding both bikes . I do agree however that many have other opinions.Curious point though..I wonder how ma...

Congrats, Markcap.

You won't regret it , and meanwhile you'll have the pleasure all winter of looking at those beautiful new shocks instead of the cheap P.O.S. ones that came on it.

Money and effort well spent!

Hi and welcome, pcxflame. You've just stumbled upon a fairly hot topic around here, which is probably why nobody except foolish ol' me has jumped up and answered your question yet.

Re: Oxford hot grips and Tucano muffs.

To SeanyP's OP, I have a set of Tucano muffs on my Forza and they work quite well. I did have to cut out a little bigger thumb hole in the left one to get better access to the turn signals switch, but other than that they're well-made and easy to live with.
