New Guy from London - new Forza!
Hi Guys,
I'm Dave, i've owned my Forza for a week today. Loving it so far. Traded-in a 2014 Honda CB500F for it. I guess i'm more a scooter guy than a m/c guy. Previously rode a 2007 Vespa LX 125, but I now have my full A unrestricted licence. I just didn't need a Silverwing, so the Forza will work for me for now.
I fitted the new tall screen last night. I'm liking it so far.
Anyway, hoping to learn, and contribute when I can. Cheers!
Delivery day! Instruments. No parking brake on UK models Arse-end 'Old' screen New Screen comparison

Nice bike. Well done on the A licence! Passed my CBT back in Nov but only been on the road three months with my PCX. A long way to go to pass an A2/full linence - if only centres had 350cc scooters to take the test on rather than have to learn gear bikes.
Re: New Guy from London - new Forza!
Thanks mate. I hear what you're saying. I did the A licence as A/I'm old (41) and B/I wanted to have choice later in life. I bought the CB500F as I'd learned on a geared bike and enjoyed it, but honestly, I just prefer riding scooters. Simple as that.iceman wrote:Nice bike. Well done on the A licence!

welcome, I part/ex ed a nc 750 for my forza, Im very happy, the honda screen makes a difference too.
Re: New Guy from London - new Forza!
Welcome Dave. I too traded in a Honda CB500 for a Forza. So far have been loving the Forza, easy to ride and just can't be the convenience with all the storage capacity.

Cheers mate. Can I ask what made you get rid of your CB500? Which model did you have? X, F or RR?
Re: New Guy from London - new Forza!
I had the CB500FA, really nice bike to learn and ride. Unfortunately, a scooter with automatic, highway power and lots of storage fit my needs better. Now with the Forza creeping along in city traffic is ok.

...and today, fuel pump failure.
It's two weeks old today. Not happy.

Re: New Guy from London - new Forza!
Very much like the GTS300, I hope it gets sorted quickly.
Re: New Guy from London - new Forza!
Which GTS 300, the Sym or the Vespa?

Haven't we all had a bad batch of pumps at some time?
As long as there is no follow through...
