Anyone seen this yet? Looks nice. Don't know how it compares to the X10 though - a side by side review would be nice.

Does anyone know if the forza screen is the same as the pcx? Be nice if my ermax screen will switch over to a forza if I get one.

Sorry Taz, it is different.

Our Ohio dealer is scheduled to get theirs in on Aug 26th. I'm anxious to check one out, I've had both a Reflex and a Silverwing. Honda makes the best scoots, but I'm really bias :)

My local dealer is also due to get a Forza demonstrator sometime in August, can't wait to get a ride on it and really hope it lives up to my expectations.
If it does I will be having one next spring.

you guys are lucky, my local dealer says they wont be getting in a demo or pre sales model, though happy to sell it to me! I will need to fly to mainland Australia (North Island) to view and sit on it. Will expect a discount for their lack of sales effort.

I've been hearing rumblings about the Burgman 200 coming to the USA. It recently got CARB approval. Depending on it's pricing it could really impact the sales of both the Forza and PCX.

I doubt that.
The PCX is a far better small scooter and the Forza is a far better large scooter.
Suzuki would have to be almost giving them away to sell any.

I agree. It is nice to see many more bikes coming here. There is no release date anywhere, even though it got emissions approval??

Can't really agree.....the Forza and PCX have really nailed Their perspective slots with Looks, Economy, Handling, Stopping, and Durability..... ;)

I have looked at videos of the Burgman 200 and it really looks nice, especially for those looking for a little bike. We have both a Burgman and a Honda. It would be a hard choice. Price would be the deciding factor. My wife loves her PCX 150, and it is a lot better than most 200cc scooters. One thing that I was upset about when we purchased it was the lack of accessories at the dealer. Then I came across this site and thankfully the 125 accessories fit the 150. I don't think people who purchase the Burgman 200 are going to be as lucky about accessories, but then I would say they same thing about the Forza, which I am anxious to see.

Mel, I just looked at the 200 Burgie here http://www.globalsuzuki.com/motorcycle/ ... 55-131.pdf
Snazzy & in White :P Windscreen/headlamps have a very clean look (made for each other).
U.S. is really adding to their menu of scoots. Sometimes having choices make the pick harder (makes me think of local eating establishment) forget it...just give me the burg-er! ;)

200cc Burgman sounds great, but

Curb Mass BURGMAN 125 / 200 159 kg (351 lbs) / 160 kg (353 lbs)

WTF 350 pounds for the 125? :? lead frame?
and a 12" rear wheel, pretty weak... unless the price is next to nothing :roll:

That's RIDICULOUSLY heavy for a 125! That's how much the 250cc Honda Reflex weighs! I can understand for the 200, but a 125 at that weight? o.O

Its pretty much the standard weight for a GT scooter.
The Burgman 125 is huge compared to the PCX.

Popped in to local Honda dealer who had just taken delivery of a black Forza this morning.
Gave it a quick once over, first impression: looks good.
Have been promised a test ride on it which is something to look forward to. :)

I wonder if tall windscreens are available for it yet (other than the Honda option). Does it look like the seat hump is adjustable or can be taken right off for us tall folk? I like its long service intervals.
