Goodbye Forza 300 and Welcome NC750D Integra.

How do you downgrade the Integra to fit UK licensing?

Not available in Canada, pity.

[mikeoc]

The Integra doesn't need to be downgraded to fit UK licensing. There are different categories of motorcycle licence in the UK and you can ride the full powered 54hp/39kW stock version on a UK category A licence (which I have, and did) - here's more about that: https://www.gov.uk/ride-motorcycle-mope ... quirements. I believe it can be restricted I believe to be ridden on a lesser licence if needed.

The Integra has 40.3 KW.With the UK A2 licence you can drive upto 35KW.
Honda selling a 35KW kit.(Throttle Linkage stop).The same applies to the new Forza 750.

I am going the other way, my 2018 Integra to a new Forza 300, the Integra is a good bike, but very a heavy lump, chain maintenance not too good in winter months lol. Should pick up my Forza in a week or so.

Sucha practical scooter. Too bad Honda doesn't sell it in the USA. Have fun.

I look forward to hearing how you get on! For me, compared to the Integra, the Forza felt like riding a toy for the first few weeks, the light weight was a revelation, the lack of power from a standstill is something I still miss, but the storage capacity, fuel economy and overall agility made it worthwhile.

In comparison to the other bikes I've rode the Forza, for me, has sufficient power from a still stand, but then again I haven't had a bike for about 10 - 15 years, so it's hard too compare.

...., but the storage capacity, fuel economy and overall agility made it worthwhile.

Those are the things that made me choose the Forza above the Suzuki and Yamaha especially for the storage capacity.
And there is one other important issue, I feel very safe riding the Forza as I did with my Heinkel because the bulk of the weight is very close to the ground.

[thegoony]

Pick it up next Saturday, as they have the colour I want coming to my dealer this week, reg number chosen today, so all set.

Will do, Integra is good on fuel too, currently getting 79mpg, but looking forward to a lighter bike for sure. Pick up next Saturday from my local dealer.

[thegoony]

Goodbye Integra hello Forza 300.

[Old Scoot]

Looking good same color I have.
I see you don't have a top-case, didn't it come with one or was that feature only standard for the Netherlands?

[thegoony]

No UK models do not come with top case, it is optional, I will add a Shad one next year.

[mikeoc]

@thegoony and how are you getting on with your Forza!

[thegoony]

@thegoony and how are you getting on with your Forza!

yeah its great, so much better than the Integra, much easier to move about, only thing I miss is the immediate power when pulling away from traffic lights, but all good. Only done about 120 miles so far, havent been out on it today (local traffic is absolute chaos and bedlam so much so Work called and said not to go in and closed.)

[mikeoc]

I hope the work situation improves and you can get some more miles on. Such difficult times for everyone at the moment. We are pretty restricted in London at the moment but I can still work and use my bike for a 50 mile round commute every day.

Its still bad here, I live in next town to Dover, so the whole area is just one big jam. Its all mostly single carriageway A roads here, so you can imagine with all the lorries its madness, even on a bike you just dont know which roads are closed by police as changes all the time....

Sorry but if you put your foot in front and not on foot pegs, and you have both front and rear brakes on handlebar, then that is the definition of a scooter, CVT does not make a difference...

I might be wrong but I thought the essence of a scooter was the engine/drive unit being attached to the swing arm or being structurally the actual swing arm. I don't keep up on a lot of stuff like this.

I don't know where your quote came from but my Heinkel only had the front brake on the right side of the handlebar and the rear brake was a foot pedal on the foot board.
On the left side of the handlebar was the clutch handle and gearshift mechanism.
The engine was mounted to the frame and didn't move, the swing arm, what was a sort of flat tube, also had the drive chain run thru it in an oil bath and was attached to the engine by a sort of hinge and attached to the frame by the shock absorber
