Just pulled the trigger

on a 2014 still in the crate Forza ABS. I pick it up next week tuesday. Looking forward to this. After visiting two dealers, and getting two different out-the-door quotes on the non-abs version, without too much hope I decided last night to look online at a third dealer. They had a bunch, so I went out through the storm today (weird day to go motorbike shopping) to take a look. Asked for an out-the-door price on both versions, and they came back with a $250/less quote on the abs than the cheaper of the other two had on the non-abs. Wife called and consulted - she said abs - bought.

I like to haggle a bit too, but shooting the salesman is a bit harsh.

Big Congrats
I got nowhere trying to negotiate with my local dealer. So...looked in the online ads for used ones. Found one across the state with just 240 miles on it. The dealer was great. Nice price and took care of ALL the details. Even transport. I paid $170 to have someone they worked with trailer my bike across FL. Had it in a couple days. Best part...since it was a used bike, no dealer fee, no Honda destination charge.
Good luck with yours. Mine feels like a sport bike to me.
Best

The dealer I ended up with doesn't charge the Honda Destination Charge... Apparently on anything.

Sad. Like saying good-bye to an old friend (or is that, lover?) Oh well, you get my drift. If you're trying to sell over at Modern Vespa it should find a home and will soon be loved again. On a happier note, You two will have more room and then some, on your new Forza

We're selling it to a friend, so we'll see it regularily... Still sad though. And the Mrs has her bubble gum pink buddy upgraded to a 70 to ride still. So now she has to try and keep up with me

Been looking at and researching the Forza for a year. Finely bought one and rode it home.today.
What a blast riding it. No shifting, good seated position, fun ride. Was thinking of the PCX, but rode one this morning and felt it was small for me. Great bike though.
Glad I got the Forza, was tough because my dealer offered me a new CB500X for $150 less out the door. But, the Forza has been on my bucket list for a while. I have been reading your posts fo a few months, thank you for all the help they have given me in selecting the Forza.
