Re: How comfortable is the Forza 300 for various ride lengths?

I have a 2018 mk2 Forza 300 and I was out for 3hrs yesterday continuous riding and it wasn't until after I got home that I realised I hadn't got square arse or any uncomfortable feeling. Aching in the legs, but I ride feet forward.

Re: Bought a Forza - Forum Hiatus

How long will it be till you sell the 650..... Haha, this is something that has crossed my mind over the last few days, after only having the Forza300 for just under a week. I stood in my garage looking at both and thinking; "do I really need to keep both?" However, the Ninja 650 makes me...

Bought a Forza - Forum Hiatus

I suppose I must start this post with an apology...my last post here was back in 2018 when I had just passed my full licence and bought a Ninja 650, which - well, is comparing apples and oranges, so I won't. It's bloody good fun though... So what did I do with my Honda PCX? I kept it of course!! I h...

Re: 2018 Honda PCX Performance

I didnt know that they changed the gearing on the 2015+ models! I have a 2013 model, now with 21,000 miles on the clock and to be fair, I got bored of the slow speed on my model, so I bought a Kawasaki ER6N instead lol. so if doing higher speed is your cuppa, just buy a bigger bike i would suggest. ...

Re: the real key to riding in the snow

the real key to riding in the snow.. is not to!

if you don't have to that is.. if you get stuck out somewhere and blizzard comes down then I would suggest another form of transport home.

Re: Buying a Cat C? Is it worth the risk?

you know what your right!

Its too much of a risk!

I work in the car/bike finance world, so i have done all the necessary checks. But I know quite a few bike dealers that i deal with regularly that I will give a call and see if they can sort me out with something else.

Thanks bud :)

Buying a Cat C? Is it worth the risk?

Hi Guys, I am looking at a Honda CBR 500R as my next jump up in the bike world. I have found one that is classed as Category C Damage, the seller states that this is due to the fact that it was written off due to cosmetic damage. Apparently, the only damage was to the fairing at the front and right ...

Re: Cold start issues

I have been having similar issues. When holding in the brake and pressing the ignition button, it doesnt always turn over straight away. We have had silly cold weather at the moment, so I am thinking it might be the sparkplug or something?

hi guys, Been riding for 3 years and got caught out yesterday and came off! I was doing around 10-15 mph going onto a turnoff off a roundabout and the incline, sharp turn and terrible rain meant the back-end just went. I cant figure out how it happened, whether i was going too slow, just a slight in...
