once you get your head round the step through seating position of the SH300, I honestly think they are the best in their class, exellent comuters and fantastic fun when you want to hustle them. Even two up they are very capable.

I have found one on the net for £4999. OK so it's a dealer sale and lower mileage than mine (6200 as against 9300) but it is a 2016, mine being a 2017. I have replied to their offer with a link. worth a try.
Back on track. Any luck yet? 8-)

I sat on a new Forza when it first arrived, the riding position just didnt suit me, felt like I was sitting in a deck chair. Just my opinion.

Well, that sounds kind of nice! I found the SH to be little short of torture, personally.

Just accepted their offer of £4200 minus £300 excess. The money will be with me in a few days.

Though I was seriously tempted by a nearly new Silverwing I have decided to have another Maxsym. I liked my last one so much I will have the same again. The only question now is whether to order it as soon as I have the money or wait till 1st September (actually 8th after I come back from holiday) and have the new 68 plate. I'm not particularly bothered, but the later plate may affect the resale value. Though I tend to keep my bikes for a long time (5 years has been the norm) so it may not make much difference. Plus I want to get on with the business of running it in before the summer finally fizzles out.
