I've gone and done it!!!....new Forza 125 on order and I'm really looking forward to it, the PCX has been such a blast and I love it but nothing is forever & I just couldn't resist that Forza, yes I know its expensive blah blah blah but I guess I was seduced right there in the showroom :lol: :lol:

Dangerous places these dealer showrooms, mine has a cafe linked to it through the showroom, sure they just walk through the shop with bacon rolls on purpose :)

Yep in line with my experince down in Kent, offered interest free finance, deposit of £99 and off you trot. However stating i didn't want finance or do a PX then the sales patter changed to we can do a really could deal off the MRSP £2799 for the Pexy.

Await your new toy and thoughts with anticpation :)

Beware of showrooms, indeed.

Went to the local Suzuki dealer for a 12mm crush washer for my Forza's oil plug ($2.00)... and
ended up with a $2000 DRZ 70, just because I found it irresistibly cute. I have no idea what
to do with it . Call that dumb, but happy.

Now, now you got me a little excited. I thought you had found a 2017 Honda Forza 300.

In Canada the only maxi-scooters are the Burgman 650 and the BMW C650GT. There are some Piagio and Vespa but they have almost no dealers. Kymco and the like also have almost no dealers.


Forza 300 is dead, long live ???

I once went to the dentist and came home with a new car.

You to? I went to the hospital and came out drugged.

I bought my 2000 Dodge Dakota 4x4 off a guy in the parking lot. Really crappy truck and I spent too much fixing it up. The red ones are faster.

Needs brakes. I was slipping around in the snow today. The Forza will be parked for a while.

Who else has snow?

My mother paid for her doctor's car. I paid a big chunk of my dentist's car.

The 2018 C 400 X from BMW has just shown up on BMW Canada's web page.

Has anyone tried one yet? Or Seen one?

Who and where is it made?

Chances are it'll be the 350 Kymco Downtown engine and many of the other bits will be made in Taiwan and China.

It will most likely use parts made in Taiwan or China but most bikes do nowadays. Suzuki bikes 250cc and under are all made in China now. The thing to remember is that it doesn't matter where it is made, it's how it is made that matters. I've just seen a news report on TV about mobile phone manufacture in China and it was an ultra modern production set-up. No sign of the legendary sweat shop.

That's true about the "cheap" Chinese phone manufacturers. The factories seem to be as high tech as the expensive Chinese manufactured phones from Apple etc.
