Re: Bought two new Forza's for wife and myself

Looking forward to your assesment of the Givi screen. You could get a Puig for the other one so you know who's is which. http://www.puigusa.com/tuning-bikes/honda-ns-s300-forza-2013/v-tech-line-touring/c171en/f1-r310-m3620/ I don't see anyone, that I can find that sells this one in the US.

Re: Forza Review

So.... For cross country type of travel or even state to state, the Forza might might not be the appropriate machine? I was hoping that the Forza would be a relaxed machine at 70 and provide a long distance option. It appears from the testimony here, that is not the case. I'm disappointed! P.S. Mayb...

What is the problem at 70mph for extended periods of time?

Agree?
6000 miles mostly on 60 and 70mph A-roads leads me to disagree.
I'm relieved to hear that!

Re: Bought two new Forza's for wife and myself

I like the look of the Puig screen. It looks more elegant than the Givi.

gn2......Do you have one, or know anyone with with a Puig, or have you heard any reports on the Puig?

Re: Forza as a Do It All?

I think the issue is your length from the waist down. I have a 32" inseam and my knees have plenty of clearance. I don't have one yet, this is from sitting on one in the showroom. Also at issue might be your knee angle when your feet are on the front angled part of the floorboards. Definitely n...

Re: Givi vs Honda Screen

The Honda screen leaves the hands in the wind....right?

The GIVI screen looks like it might afford more protection for the hands.

Re: Octane #

I don't know why, but the online manual says to use 91 octane.

Happy to hear that it runs on the cheaper grade!

Octane #

What type of gas are you running your Forza on?

I see the manual calls for 91 octane (premium).

Can regular 89 octane be used?
