I collected this beauty on Wednesday and have had a big grin since! I really need to get to the magic 300 mile mark - it ain't easy riding gently, having seen on the demo ride what these bikes will do.

It looks beautiful! It looks much more refined than the original model.

I agree - of course!
I hadn't really seen a Forza until I saw the new model in the dealers. Later, doing some reading round, I saw the previous model and knew that if that had been the only model available I'd have been looking at Yamaha and Kawasaki.
I've read that this model is more "sporty" than the old one; from my test ride and riding my own I can say it's very nimble and handles extremely well.

All you need is a top box. It sure is nice to buy a scooter without the expense and installation a of windshield. The 1st gen screen was useless unless you live near the equator.

They are really great straight out of the box but start to shine after the first 1000 miles. Can't fault mine.

87112 - the space under the seat is enough for me. I'd read the blurb about two full-face helmets under the seat so was a bit disappointed when I tried the demo bike and found my helmet was an interference fit under the seat. Strangely, on the bike I bought the helmet fits comfortably.
Oldie - Certainly can't complain about mine out of the box. Can't wait to get to the magic 300 miles so I've got full use of the throttle, though.

Damerells must love these bikes - they sell themselves and I bet they can't get enough of them.

Great bikes but check underneath on the welds going up towards the seat, ive seen a few rust spots on brand new bikes right on the weld, sorted mine on the day i got it home with Jenolite and new paint, only a few small spots but in the UK you need to be on top of it.
you need to be om your back looking up.
