Evening all
Had one of those mid life moments last year. I've owned so many different bikes in my 30 years of riding but never had a SV650. I got one last year at a steal price and spent a few months riding around in the summer but omg my back and wrists ached like hell! It was very quick and found myself in the lose your licence end of the Speedo quite often. Reality set in that I'm past sport bikes.
I've owned a PCX since 2017 and have used it as my daily commute, ride everywhere bike. What an amazing little machine even two up with my wife it's served me very well indeed. Other than oil and pads and one belt /roller change it's needed next to nothing.
The only thing with a 125 is can't really do out of town on it so I started looking at getting another more sensible second bike. NTV650's I thought would be good and even a CB500 as owned one many years ago and still miss that little twin pot.
Finally fell upon a 2014 Forza 300 with 2k on the clock and went for it. Hope the picture uploads ok. If not am sure you all know what they look like
I'm over the moon with it. So smooth and similar to the pcx. The seating position is the same as an old burgman I had so have adjusted quickly to the new ride. It has the taller screen though that just seems to put all the wind directly into my face so have a extension on order and hope that fixes that. Couldn't see myself getting the use out of the pcx as this Forza is perfect at low speeds and nimble enough to filter so sold it on, was a sad day watching it go : (. Read a load of posts on here prior to buying it and glad this community is still going.
Looking forward to racking up some miles and enjoying my new bike. Top speeds and 0-60s no longer bring any kind of kicks for me arriving in comfort and just enjoying the ride does and for that I think this bike is perfect.
If you made it this far thanks for reading
safe travels
