What colour ....

Post by toria »

White, black or silver? What is best for visual presence, I'm guessing white but I think the silver looks nicer! Such a quandary, why can't we have red in the UK, that looks lush!

UK colours are black, white and grey.
Black is statistically the most dangerous, grey the most boring and white is the correct colour.

Yup, Forza 300. As ever gn2, you are right about getting one in White although the grey 1 does look rather nice.

Have to say I don't particularly like the white one, the grey is prettier! Do you have a Forza 300 GN2?

Mines red with a brilliant LED headlight but for all intents and purposes it's invisible to old biddies driving small cars, if the last three days are any guide.

Three old dears have either pulled out from a sidestreet, or in the last incident turned right directly in front of me. In each case they saw me but proceeded anyway as though I shouldn't have been there.

We need compulsory retesting of older persons here in Oz. I'm 73 and due to diabetes I have to pass a medical every 12 months and don't mind in the least. I sat my bike licence last year and passed without a problem, but still get scared every time I see grey haired drivers.

Guess you can call me ageist if there is such a word :D :D

There is, but you're not being ageist imo.
Its a scientifically proven fact that people's ability to use the road safely declines as they get older.
At the risk of being a different kind of -ist, when I get to 80-odd years of age I would like a chauffeur to take me everywhere....

White is scientifically proven to be faster.

.......but it doesn't have any 'go faster' stripes! Perhaps white weighs less than any other colour then :lol: I still think the red is lush and I wish they'd offer more colours here in the UK - I mean, come on, white, black or grey, how dull is that - we're not THAT stiff upper lipped are we?!!!

I agree with you 100%, scooters should be proper colours.
Other manufacturers can do it, even LML of India

I'm glad mine is white as it's the most be-seen colour. I like the silver one though.

So, I've now ordered my new Forza in the silver - far 'sexier' than the white in my view!! I'm adding a Honda top-box to the package too! Thanks for all your feedback guys - watch out for my videos on YouTube!!!
