Last time I had a shop around I discovered that insurance for a Kymco Downtown 300 would be cheaper than my PCX. :?

At the current exchange rate that would make the Forza £3850ish in the UK. I would think it won't work out exactly like that as there will be different add-ons cost-wise from the US so Gn2 wont be far out with his £4000-£4500 estimate..... a bargain, especially if it goes as good as it looks.

If you do the exchange rate thing on the US PCX 150 price it works out at just £2136! o_O

Still no UK launch date for the Forza :(

It like a PCX after a long course of steroids!

Nice, but there are a heck of a lot of used cars around for £4k. Still better for mpg though, and if you like new things over old then its lovely. After all a Yamaha X-Max 125 is around 4k, with could make the Forza a real winner (or about £6k?).

I don't think it will be £6k Kevin. If it were I'd (and had that amount of spare cash) I'd go for a nice used T-Max with all the trimmings. I'll be interested to see what those bonkers Thai owners do to their Forzas.

Really? From a certain angle it looks like an SH300 lost in a super-size-me-junk-food-wonderland.

I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.
