Just curious, do you still have the Forza as well?

No, found I liked maxi scoots - but needed more carrying capacity - so traded it in for a left-over Burgman 400.
Then again ....the Forza was a left-over by one year.(but sold at list & as 'new')
Local dealer wanted full retail for a Burgman....so purchased from a dealer 100 miles away at $3K off list and they trailered it to my garage, free. Deal was an internet sale from a much smaller shop - with follow-up by phone. Perfect transaction.

I asked local dealer salesman (where we'd purchased 3X before) to give me his best price on the Burgman.
He gave me list + all the add-ons....and brought it in from his other store.
I said 'no thanks' to MSRP+; Emailed the distant dealer & closed the deal the next day for their Burg..

Learned my lesson - always get at least two dealers bidding for my $.
Always did it with cars - but was reluctant to do it with bikes. No more.
I wish Honda had a similar sized scooter - I prefer Hondas.

You may have seen elsewhere on this Forum, but for my place in the US, I went with a maxi scoot as well — Yamaha Majesty 400. I was looking for a SilverWing, but none were available when I was ready to purchase. The good thing is that the best deal I found on a Majesty was at a dealer very close to me. I was also keeping an eye our for the Burgman but they were real scarce around me and I don't have the option to trailer it.

Happy riding!
