I won't be selling privately, far too much hassle.

Re: NC750S... or keep the Forza
I like the style of the 750S but I have a question or two. Where is the gas Tank? It looks like it is behind the rider but it would be a pretty small tank if it was. Maybe it runs under the rider's seat as well?? Is the front storage ALL storage, or does it share the room with the battery and other electronics? And last, why is the back up so high if the front isnt? You don't just hit the ruts, boulders and pot holes with the rear of the bike. If I hit a big pot hole with the front I feel the bump all the way up my arms.

The fuel tank is under the seat. (14.1 litres) The front storage has enough room for a helmet.

Haven't seen the poll....but my bet it is skewed by jealous pcx owners.:-)gn2 wrote:Anyway, there's not a lot of love for the Forza judging by the poll results so far....
I loved my red Forza. Enjoyed walking up to it every day....more so than with this grey
Burgman. Not buyer's remorse. ...unless the Forza had been a 400.
I think you will enjoy your new Honda , too.
Hold out for the color you like.
30, 000 is more than most Forza owners will ever see.

Could wait forever for that.fish wrote:Hold out for the color you like.
I've decided I want DCT and the new 2016 model has had upgrades to the DCT system.
There are five colour options for the 2016 NC750S, only two of which are available in the UK.
Of the two available colour options the one I prefer is a matt finish and I'm not convinced about matt finish.
So if I am to have the bike I want it has to be in a colour/finish I'm not entirely happy with.
But it doesn't look too awful and I could probably get used to it...

Looks spot on to me
Re: NC750S... or keep the Forza
Next decision is whether to buy the dealer's demonstrator or hold out for a new 66 reg one in September...?

Will the dealer honour the trade in price if you wait till September? It might be worth asking if you haven't already.

I think it will be fine, it's only a few weeks.

I tend to hold onto things for so long it doesn't matter down the line. Id say get it now if the price is right and get an extra summer in.

Re: NC750S... or keep the Forza
I know that I will never again ride a motorcycle, though my scooter is fine. That doesn't mean that I can't be curious about the what's and whys of the new models. I am use to bikes like the Harley and the Honda Rebel, not those like the NC750S, with the baking tire a mile below the floating fender. Therefore, I have a few questions, you you don't mind 2y'so, so behave yourself, please.

Re: NC750S... or keep the Forza
I can understand the attraction, engine layout and shaft drive, but some questions...
How much would one of those cost?
Are they available in a sensible colour scheme?
Can you fit a centrestand?
ABS?
