I know couldn't see how to turn them!! It's gonna be unfair to compare I think, but I think it's an amazing scoot for a big single . Very smooth more than enough power , comfy , good on fuel considering the weight and Hondas reliability , win win all round. Only covered 70 miles but def made the right choice. As I said to the dealer the Pcx is the perfect in town/ city bike but if your doing faster a roads then the forza has to be the one , velly happy :-)

trigg,

Don't worry about being unfair.

Report all your thoughts, and feelings about your new ride. We know your previous bikes were different, however they form the basis of your comparative experience.

So fire away at those keys and give us details!

Seen one of those the other day at the dealer. In a few years I might upgrade to that.

When I went to the pics and hovered the mouse of the pic, a rotate icon appeared and I was able to rotate them ... the white is nice.

Very very nice! Thanks for fixing and sharing :) White is so Cool! I see you've added some decals (Honda and Arai) and rim tape. I also noticed Dunlop on your rear tire. Are they the standard/stock?
Happy rides ahead trigg, enjoy!

Don't laugh! There is a branch of science called electro-gravitics which deals with negating gravitational effects. it is classified and deeply buried deep within "black" programs.

8) I've read that you had liked the Michelin City Grips on your PCX, if it's "not too early to ask," how do you like the (stock) Dunlop ScootSmarts so far on the Forza?

...and they work best after a good "scuffing"...slightly "slick" while leaned at first...stepped the rear out slightly twice. Great performing Tire now..... ;)

Only done 600 miles so no idea how well they will last.
Which is the most important thing for me.

"Lasting" is my second priority, and with about 2000+ plus miles now on mine, so far, so good visually. I ride so many really twisty mountain roads here and in mixed groups (Motorcycles and Scooters), traction, especially at near full lean becomes a very critical issue with me. I was a little concerned at first, but the Dunlops have seated in fine. Possibly a "mold release agent" issue at first."Most" Tires have this cleaned off before delivery most of the time now, but used to be a real issue a few years ago. "We" used to wipe Tires down with paint thinner before a first ride due to this. My Wife's Forza had a bit of the same issue at first...both are fine now. I've been commuting this week on the PCX150, saving the Forza for longer weekend rides..... 8)

I only ever ride alone and extremely rarely on anything resembling a bendy road.
Even then I ride so that I can stop in the distance I can see to be clear ahead.
For me its purely transport.
