Re: New member in Oklahome

You may find yourself riding the Forza more than your Nomad 1600. :lol: I had a 2006 Kawasaki 1600 Nomad for about 4 years. I purchased a Suzuki Burgman 650 also in 2005. The Nomad just sat in the Garage, not being used, because I always rolled the Burgman 650 out to go some where. Now I also ride t...

Re: New owner ... Noticed a few things

First, Congratulations of your new ride.
Passenger pegs, seem normal, mine are the same.
Oil is fine in the middle, brake fluid is also fine.
Enjoy your new ride!

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

Looks great, the V47 is a terrific case. Hi Pawineguy, I used to live in Bucks County, PA, Morrisville, PA for about 8 years. I move out west all the way to CA because of my job. I absolutely loved PA and the great roads there to ride. I should add that I am in Bucks also, Jamison (Warwick Township...

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

One thing to keep in mind. The Suzuki Burg 650 has more Power, more Leg space compared to the Honda Forza. I know I would not be as comfortable riding the Forza cross country. But I know the Forza could do this trip without a problem. It might have a problem passing cars on the freeways going 80+ mp...

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

Comparatively the Suzuki Burg 650 should not be compared with the Honda Forza. The Burg 650 could be compared with the Honda Silver wing 600. (Burg 650 Wins hands down) The Forza is a smaller, lighter scooter, great for commuting and an occasional 200-300 mile trip. In my opinion, The Burg 650 is th...

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

Thanks Larry, I really like both GIVI D1123ST Shield and GIVI V47 Case. They look real nice on the scooter. The windshield really makes a difference, no more wind pounding on my chest and head. Just a smooth ride. The GIVI V47 was purchased because I need a case big enough for my Nolan N104 Helmet, ...

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

Hi, Finally got the pictures posted. This is the GIVI D1123 Screen. It provides great protection from the elements both body and hands. Also the GIVI V47 case, which provides great storage. Since my Nolan N104 helmet would not fit under the seat. IMG_0020.jpg IMG_0021.jpg IMG_0022.jpg IMG_0023.jpg I...

That is great to know. My Suzuki Burgman is exactly reading 10% higher.
I'm glad to hear that the Honda Forza is speedometer in the USA is almost accurate. 8)

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

I too am a new owner, and I really like the 2014 Honda Forza. I currently own a 2005 Burgman AN650 with 15K miles on it. The Burgman has a much larger seating area, and more power. It only gets 43 MPG Though. The Honda Forza is great for commuting on, and gets 65 MPG. I have ordered the GIVI D1123S...

Re: New Owner, 2014 - AF1123 to be installed in a couple of

Hi Larry, I was commuting on the Suzuki Burgman 650. There are 38 Traffic lights and hills (Not Flat) between my home and office. Traffic in Southern CA can be bad at rush hour. I am pretty gentle on the throttle, but the stop and go traffic is why the Burgman only gets 43mpg. I know if I take a tri...
