Picked up a NOS 2014 with 3 miles today. Cannot wait until I get this thing broken in!

Great all around bike.. Maneuverable , light enough to push around and heavy enough for moderate wind with plenty enough balls to go up a hill. Have fun and best of luck..Great decision !

That's my first impression - faster and more stable than the PCX, lighter and more agile than the Silver Wing. I'm thinking it's going to be my "Goldilocks" bike.

Congrats on stepping up! I'm hoping it's all that you want it to be - FUN!
Just be a bit more cautious as the Two of you get acquainted 8) More weight etc., > You know.
(I think that's why manufacturers place a break-in period, they Know we're itching to pull that throttle and......They're Right! :lol:

New 2014? Where has it been for the last 5 years? Some say the tires are expired, how is the battery? Recalls all done?

A 400cc single cylinder Forza with more grunt and a bigger fuel tank would be nice.
The 300 is enough but more is more!

That is called a BURGMAN 400 ABS.

Got it from the dealership, they uncrated it after buying it from another dealership. Only 3 miles on it, so I am confident they aren't pulling anything. $3300 plus normal silly dealer fees.

Brand new battery, recall for fuel pump already done. I'm planning on new tires probably next year, gonna try to wear these out as quick as I can :lol:

There were multiple recalls on the 2014 Forza. At least 3 that I know of.

Please check the link to the Honda recall website and choose your year, model, etc . . . and check the recall notices.

https://powersports.honda.com/recall-information.aspx

One was for the fuel pump swelling, another for an improperly torqued rear brake line joint, and another for improper application of a sealant for the starter relay switch thus causing increased resistance across the main fuse.

If your Forza has ABS then it may only be 2 recalls. One for the fuel pump swelling and the other for the rear brake line problem.

Don't take my word for it though. If I were you I'd ask the dealer . . .. :geek:
