I have ridden several SH300 in my time working for the big H.
weather protection and mpg is not good vs a forza with high screen. If it was just london commuting I get the SH300 bit motorway etc No

Its too late on a Saturday night for me to have noticed the second page of comments on this thread... du'oh.

I've got a 16 mile commute but I'm fortunate enough to have the option of all motorway or all back roads, back roads everytime. I'm not so fussed about fuel economy, after the GSXR which if i was careful I'd get 30 MPG! It really doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you don't regret buying it.

Good all round machine the Forza 300, lots of leg space and handlebars you can mount stuff on too. GPS, Camera, no problem: always a pain on enclosed bar machines.

I'm sure you'll get on well with it, also as it's got the perfect sized engine: not too heavy and fast enough for a smile :D

As winter's coming you may want to fit grips and a big screen next.. in my experience a decent screen is my top accessory as I can hide from the weather behind it - and have done, many times!

Yes I will definitely fit a larger screen and heated grips as I do ride all year round.

my old forza had that too and even fitted handguards to keep the windblast off...

I may consider fitting a puig clip on airflow deflector as I know with the honda high screen I still get some wind buffeting. has anyone got any experience with this?

evening all.
just thought I do a little update now that in had my black Forza 300 for 1 year. I moved the mileage on from just under 7k to now 14k. Bike has been faultless as expected and even harsher treated that my old one. this one has to life outside as a nice car now lives in the garage...

all the scooter needed was a new rear tyre and it sailed through the MOT.

btw. I still have the low screen and kind of like it more than the high one. I have bought a brand new high screen bit never fitted it.

anyway...I have also looked at the new Forza 300 2018 model which looks nice...but for now I will keep my one and pile on the miles...ImageImageImage
