Re: Back on forum

That color really brings out the sharp lines of the Forza.

Re: My new Forza 300

Honda will bring the New Forza once the old stock is gone. In Portland, OR I know of one dealer sitting on 4 new 2016 Forzas. In my area there is a 2015 (new) still for sale.

Re: $30K and 110 Mile Range

Most people have trouble coughing up 3k for a scooter. 30k for 2 wheels. I dont see a demand.l

Re: Yamaha SMAX vs. PCX 150

The Burgman 200 is the cheapest feeling scooter for 5k msrp I have ever seen. Completely cheap plastics everywhere on the dash. For 600 more bucks you could get a 1st class Forza or Xmax. A bomb by Suzuki.

Re: Heidenau K66 4-Season Scooter Tire

I don't think I will ever ride on anything else besides Pirelli. My Diablo ( not the new Diablo Ross) transformed the handling from the stock Dunlop Smartscoot which were most happy going straight. The Diablo wants you to have fun turning and leaning can only imagine how much better the Diablo Rosso...

Re: I think I need some opinions on this

I relieve back aches and soreness by hanging upside down everyday on an inversion table. It works. Been doing this for over 10 years.

Re: New Forza 300 - 1st Impressions

I can attest to SYM- they make great handling, fun rides. My old HD200 felt part scooter/part motorcycle due to its torque and 16 in wheels front and back. Its was not the best quality though, under the plastics are cheap parts and the worse was having a metal gas cap and plastic grooves on the thre...

Re: new 2015 forza for 3699

Sounds about right. There are. 5 new leftover Forza 300s near me. . Maybe Honda still has a stash they cant unload who knows. Cant blame Honda for not making the latest 300 Forza not for sale in the States as they might not find dealers willing to take the risk of a bigger scooter sitting again. htt...

Anyone ever try to learn Mandarin or Cantonese??

Just curious what your observations are if you did. I speak Cantonese, I am not fluent but can speak every word perfect since I got the tones down. To me the Chinese is easier than Russian since the words are short. Very few words have more than 2 syllables unlike Russian which has some long as@ wor...

Re: 2 degrees C is too cold for me to ride on Christmas Day

I managed to put in about 70 miles 2 days ago during the one day in December when Seattle did not get rain/mist or completely gray weather.

I made sure I did not miss this special occasion. :lol:

Re: Hi

If you're not going to do any freeway riding the PCX of any generation is about as fun as it gets. I would be on one if I did not need 65mph and above. My cold riding temp cutoff is about 50 degrees.

Re: Forza Top Box

Thanks for the photo. I am seeing the new Forza 300 has a big difference in footspace where you put the feet up. The new one has less space. But you gain some electrical goodies so it's a wash.

Re: Still No News on Arrival of Latest Forza 300 to U.S.

In my area there is still a 2015 New Forza left. I saw it a couple of weeks ago. https://ridemotorsports.com/Scooters-Honda-Forza-ABS-2015-Woodinville-WA-67c5672a-6107-4571-84d7-a9590113d905 I think buyers of motorsports are turned off by the high 6k msrp. For example the Ninja 400 is 5k msrp and wi...

Re: Scooter scene in Mexico

Wow. I never knew so many have a bad impression of Tijuana. TJ reminds me of the poorer cities in China. Tons of streetlife, sidewalk food, noisy and hetic. There are some nicer areas where expats live. I like the city because San Diego is next door and there are places to buy Asian groceries there....

Scooter scene in Mexico

I am planning to retire in Mexico, my pension and SS is not enough to have a nice lifestyle in America. Going to get about $2,700 dollars monthly combined. Thats just scrapping by in Expensive Seattle where rent is about 1,300 to 1,500 a month. So my plan is now to move to Tijuana or the areas right...

Re: New Forza 300 - 1st Impressions

The Xmax has less footroom and feels more cramped for stretching out your legs compared to the 1st gen Forza. I just sat on one this past weekend and was less than impressed by that. No ideal how it rides but as a Yamaha product I expect nothing than very sporty from that company. For reference I am...

Re: New Pirelli Angel Rear Tire for Forza 300

I am tempted to try the Pirelli Angel, I think the new Rosso Diablo is replacing the Diablo as the sporty tire option. However for the rear tire the new Rosso does not come in the Forza stock oem rear size. I prefer to not mess with things and stick with a rear 140 size and not go up to 150 as I wou...

Re: Tread depth

I have about 4,800 miles on my Pirelli Diablos. The rear tire is flawless. Hardly shows wear. I am more than confident it can last 10k to 12k miles. This is for the Forza 300. My experience has been very different than some which say its a short tread life tire.

Re: New PCX150

I test ride a Vespa 300 once. Really enjoyed how spacious it felt. I could stretch out or have my legs right underneath me just like a Forza. However no front end feel compared to a bigger wheeled scooter. Vespa just seems to not make anything new with bigger wheels. Even 14s would make a big handli...
