Today was a great day! I doubt we'll get warm like this for a while. Cool photos!

Great pictures. I hesitated to use the white Honda decals on the new Forza being red and black but those look great. After changing the windshield to the Givi the only Honda label is small and on the back. I already used those black ones on the PCX from the sheet I have. I don't want to buy another.

Say Steph, as you ride -- what all is lit at the front of a PCX?
One of the things I like about the Forza are the double head lights and two yellow lights that are the scoot's front running lights. Presents a nice presence at the front.
I would wish for a larger tail light on the Forza.....but I will work on that with something tasteful.

@Fish - Just the two head lights as far as I can tell. I'm with you, I would like something more in the back. Maybe a top box with break lights would be good.

Going to move the Forza into the walk-out basement workshop for the decals. It says it should be above 50 F to apply. That or heat the garage but why waste the propane. I read it is an adhesive and vinyl expansion thing.

My wife influenced my decal choice - more conservative. o_O Darn them. At least no one will call it a Chinese clone like one clown did the PCX before I added decals to it. :lol:

Thanks! Matches my red/black/patch hi-viz vest that is coming. :lol: I need a top case and have a Givi picked out but I may have to postpone that until after xmas. I have gone a little gung ho this year already and want a good sized one on the Forza for some touring next spring or warm days.

On another note. For both bikes to fit nicely side-by-side in my third garage with the other toys I have gone almost exclusively to using the center stands now.

It I were to get a second bike I might go with the Honda CTX 700N DCT. I
I only have one garage. But, it's a 2 car garage with 1 car in it.

How about the 2015 Honda NC700X DCT ABS? A little more play and a little less touring. :P Both have a lot of power for the weight.

Here is a review. A red one like this sits at my dealer. The comments are interesting. The big scooters face the same reactions.
