Those colours look really good.
I like the styling and am currently being tempted by a Vespa GTS 300 Touring ABS/ASR with the official colour matched Vespa top box fitted. Its for sale at a very good price....
The small fuel tank is the killer though, I would need to fill up every second day.

One of Your fav bikes gn2. One you've been tempted (or lusting) for. Did you ever own one?
This 300 GTS w/abs is indeed Very Nice, but think of the up-keep of it's Pure Beauty and cost of ding and scratch repairs. That is.....IF You care 'bout that sorta stuff :lol: That said, it's Not White, but it's Gorgeous just the same. Buy it and Love it! Use the Forza as your primary run-about. Oh wait! you use scootering for transport to/from work only. That just might have to change, and change is Good! FUN is Very Good ;)

2 scoots? Hell yeah, why not! You only live Once and that damn clock? She's relentless! :x

Do it I say! :P

Much like many of the women I've "known" over the years, I just couldn't live with it.
Forza replacement looks like it will be an NC750....

Not sure.
Like the styling of the previous NC750S but the preferred colour option of white is a matt finish.

Might go for a new one but the two colour options currently available are not entirely to my liking.
Of the two colour options on the new model I prefer the grey and black, but again, matt finish.
And the frame is a lighter colour which I'm not sure about.
And I don't like LED lights.

The new one in DCT has benefits, Honda have refined the DCT system still further and its supposed to be really good.
The problem I have is that there isn't anything I like available which meets my wish list criteria 100%

On the basis that there isn't an old one which I like 100% I would be as well going for a new DCT model to get the benefit of the improvements to the DCT system.
In the meantime I'm looking around to see if there are any good deals to be had.
There's a couple of nice looking used ones in Edinburgh, but nothing up this way.

Fairly certain I used to be indecisive but now I just can't make my mind up.

I got the black and red. I didn't like the sliver and black as much for the same reason as you. The silver frame.
I've not really tested the lights yet so cannot comment on them.
At the first fill up I got 73mpg but I'm just tickling it about until it's 1st service and also it's a step up from a scooter so I'm taking my time until I get used to it.

It's a low rpm torquey engine, the red line is at 6500rpm. I found I can be in a gear higher than the MT07 I did my test on and it will still pull strongly.

The only thing I really think the old one has that's better is the exhaust is stainless instead of black so it might last better.

I've ridden the NC700X DCT and a 2014 NC750S manual.
The RPM/gear thing oft complained about in the NC is a bonus to me, low RPM = more relaxing at speed.
The old exhaust silencer might fit the new one, as far as I can see the aftermarket slip-ons are the same for both.
You can pick up an immaculate old style stainless silencer for around £50 on eBay.
Its really annoying that the new model's full range of five colour options hasn't been made available.
Especially as Honda Europe's press release says there will be five colours.
The NC750S will be available in 5 colour options:

Graphite Black
Pearl Glare White

Victory Red

Special Edition Graphite Black – with LED headlight, additional red stripes, two-tone seat and red wheels

Special Edition Matt Gunpowder Metallic – with LED headlight, additional stripes, two-tone seat and silver frame

If they were gloss finish I would have a red or white one tomorrow.
Or maybe black... :lol:

8) Indeed they Do! NICE in all colors (and I'm not a matt finish fan either).

The two limited edition colours are the only ones that show on the Honda uk website, so the others might be available later possibly.

Hopefully.
In the meantime the search for a mint used one at a good price continues.

Fish,

I wish to hop on your bandwagon (the original pics, NC700/50? I might give it some time on that one...)

That bike is going to take the world's longest fender extender.
Or is it just for sale in dry climes only.
