Re: Got my Forza today

Looks good with the bigger box, I had the smaller one and the heated grips (Honda ones) thrown in and a small discount

Heated grips arent the best but they integrate to the dash which is nice...

Re: Got my Forza today

That does look good, Couldnt go with the blue for mine as I have a blue motorbike, but went with the grey, which isnt great but made my choice! There may be a red/silver one coming out next season, but I think it will be a gloss rather than the 125 matt red (Which I like also) Did they throw in the ...

Re: New Forza

People always get excited about the name Honda, think of superior Japanese technology and manufacturing. Remember Forza is built in Thailand, enough said....! I think the newer Forzas such as mine are built in Italy? Im not going to comment if that is good or bad as I dont know All I know is mine l...

Re: New Forza

Minor update: Bike is still at the garage, Good news is they can recreate the problem, Bad news is they dont know what is causing it, they think it might be an airlock so have drained the coolent and refilled and are going to retest it. Bit weird if it is an airlock in the system, but will have to s...

Re: New Forza

Hope they sort out the coolant issue . . .. The Forza 300 has gotten a lot of great reviews. I noticed how "busy" your left handlebar switch layout is. I can understand your comments about making tight left turns and having to move your leg to avoid switch contact. It looks like quite a &...

Re: New Forza

I did think that yesterday, ambient temperature was 17 degrees C so not exactly hot and when moving at 70mph it is getting good airflow so the temperature shouldnt be moving at all. Did check oil as well by side of road and that was okay so hopefully nothing serious although breakdown guy said it is...

Re: New Forza

Went out for a long ride yesterday to do some higher speeds and finish the run in process, now north of 500 miles with the first service booked in. On a dualcarriage way about 70mph, notice temperature rising and then coolent red light flashing, Back right off and temperature comes down to normal, b...

Re: New Forza

Please re-size the pics to 720 by 540 or less. Too big for my 22 inch screen. Hi Was having some fun getting them on and they are quite big, Not sure if I can edit the old pictures now, but have attached better size ones hopefully. Maybe someone can let me know how to remove the old big pictures an...

Re: New Forza

Hi I very happily purchased the same colour, was second hand and have been using it to commute from Hertfordshire to London whilst in lockdown( yes I’m still working ). Bike is fantastic, will happily sit at 80mph on the A1M. No heated grips sadly but did have back box and higher Givi screen which ...

Re: New Forza

Hello Chaps, Finally got around to taking some pictures of the Forza 300 Still pleased with the purchase, havent ridden it as much as I wanted because of the situation, but have been using to work, but had to stop using it for a while as the mileage was getting high and it needs it first service whi...

Re: New Forza

I did enjoy the 125, but the 300 is so much nicer and you dont need to thrash it everywhere. The 300 is a little heavier (20kgs) but I havent noticed the extra weight except for it seems a bit more planted on the motorway/dual carriage way Speed cameras indeed, there was no danger on the 125 due to ...

Re: X ADV

I got about 65 - 75 day to day,

I think (not 100% sure) but was getting 80 + on the motorway at sensible speed.

Range in theory is over 200 miles from the tank, but I never got near that, usually refilling about 160 miles.

New Forza

Hello As talked about on the other thread, I have exchanged my 125 for a new 300 forza. I picked it up yesterday, it is matt metallic grey. Very happy with it so far, running in of course, Honda say to be gentle for 300 miles (the dealer says 200) but I guess it doesnt matter much save for tyres and...

Re: ABS with Combined Braking System (CBS) on Forza

I was always taught to always use both brakes... It makes sense actually, you shouldnt need to be balancing the bike on a rear brake or trail braking on the road anyway. If you are hard pulling one brake without the other, you are probably going outside the design remit of the braking system, aftera...

X ADV

Other bikes: I used to own the attached X-Adv, there is a lot of interest in this bike and it has sold very well for Honda in Europe. I only had it for 8 months. What did I think of it? It is a great bike, the only reason I changed it, was because I was chasing power at the time and going up through...

That is good too, I am doing approx 5k miles on the scooter a year, maybe a bit less, but have done 1500 in four months on the 125 and it has been winter!
