Can't Translate But Get the Message!
Saw this recent video for the 2018 Forza 300 and figured I'd post it. Looks like a nice machine. I don't know what the presenters are saying but I get the message.

It's nice but dont like the shorter wheelbase or taller seat, the rear shocks look somewhat 'spindly' too.

I kept getting a "PCX+" vibe off it, like it was just the new PCX with a 300 and a power screen

Re: Can't Translate But Get the Message!
The rear shocks look progressive. . .not air type though from what I can see. . .no reservoir. That said they may do the job but will have to check more reviews when U.S. version is available. They may have after market or accessory shocks available here by then. It seems they do in Thailand already according to this video.It's nice but dont like the shorter wheelbase or taller seat, the rear shocks look somewhat 'spindly' too.
As far as the seat and ergos go it will take a visit to the dealership . . ..

If the seat is more comfortable then that would be a huge plus!I kept getting a "PCX+" vibe off it, like it was just the new PCX with a 300 and a power screen

Re: Can't Translate But Get the Message!
Shorter wheelbase means increased agility, taller seat will probably improve comfort by reducing hip and knee angles.

Did the old one suffer for agility? I'd think with a 300 and highway speeds I'd want it a bit more stable

If you've sprained your ankle and you cant stand for long enough at the bar to sup your ale, are you going to be wanting a stool or a couch?easyrider wrote:That's like saying a stool is more comfortable than a couch
Correct answer is same as white wine.
Ale and bar stool for the man, couch and fruit based drink for the ladies.

Not to get off topic but that Thruxton got me to thinking about the '70s. Sometimes I think I never left . . .. Caught in a time warp. Well. . .this vid will take the edge off.

Re: Can't Translate But Get the Message!
I'm starting to like it. I tried to find one in Thailand but they weren't in stock. However, I'm now looking at the CTX700D or even a DN-01.
