sometimes i attached a givi at the rear depends on my needs



sold all my other bikes, bought a car and a Forza.

I've decided the Forza suits my current needs; as my daily rider and occasional out of town trips.

I'm done with manual naked bikes for now, the vibrations and the sitting position left a lot to be desired.

Forza is perfect, smooth engine and relax sitting. The engine a little underwhelming but I don't actually ride that fast anymore.

Nothing beats that for me now.

I'm back hoping to get tips and learn more from the group. and Nice to see you all again..

Welcome back.........Very nice ....... seems the.color changes with the lighting. How effective is that windshield? Enjoy your new ride.

In my opinion, the windshield on the 300 is a couple of inches short, i little bit more and it'll be perfect. Lots of aftermarket options for that here though.

The 350 has a slightly higher oem windshield.

Welcome back! I love my Gen 1 Forza 300 but wish the Gen 2 was available in the US.

I removed the high windshield from mine and bought a stock one from Biker Bitz
PM if you interested in the high one

Thanks. Aside from a few bells and whistles, the gen 1 is as reliable. Maybe just wait till the 350 is available, as it'll be a much noticeable upgrade. imo

I have also been away from this forum for a while, but I sold my Forza 2016 with 43k km, and bought a low mileage 7.6k km 3.5 year Forza 350.

There are big differences in seat position and handling with the old gen 1, I would say for the better, unless you like more chopper lower seat position.

I had lighter rollers in my old Forza, so pulling power on this new one is just maybe slightly more than that one, not tested the top speed yet.

The windshield is okay, but I keep it low, at high position it sucks my clothes forward, strange feeling, less wind at chest of course, I think useful at higher 120+ kph speed maybe..., good to be able to change height with buttons.

Biggest improvement for me is going over potholes, this 350 is very smooth and quiet, really good and far better than gen 1 model..., not sure if this is due to 1 inch bigger tyres front and back, or chasis, or ~3cm smaller wheelbase or what, it's just so good I now deliberately go over potholes... Lol

Side mirrors are okay, but gen 1 was a bit better, I added some extra wide angle aftermarket ones now to help see sneaking Thai kids from the sides in traffic...

They also put 5 clutch shoes instead of 3 on this model, but still no good, even mine at 7.6k km already not smooth anymore . I test drove and rented 2 other Forza 350, and one Adv350, all around over 12k-15k km, and all not smooth at take off. Honda can't get this right...!!!? On the other hand I rented and tested a few Xmax and one Tmax, the clutch at take off on all was super smooth, big difference, so Yamaha has mastered this pretty well...

Post more as I use this one...

Welcome back! I love my Gen 1 Forza 300 but wish the Gen 2 was available in the US.

Having had a month to get used to my Gen 2 Forza (only a 125 this time, though), I actually think the Gen 1 Forza (300) I had was more comfortable. It had a bit more legroom and the seat height felt a bit lower. That said, still loving the fuel economy and the electrically adjustable windscreen on the Gen2 (and the LED lights - out of the box).
