Two new Forza 300’s now that is impressive. You have the Givi tall screen and Shad rear rack on the newer 19 plate one, are they fitted to the other Forza too or is that just OE screen and maybe a rear rack for your Shad top box too.
Either way it's more practical than owning two different models, nice!
I have the touring screen on both bikes but I'll keep the Shad on the white one for touring but, as you say, there's always the option of a quick swap.
After I bought the black Forza I immediately realised that this was the first bike that I'd owned which did everything I wanted, and in comfort. Every other bike was a bit of a compromise. My priorities have always been long distance comfort, good weather protection, luggage capacity, ABS, reliability and no chain. The Forza does all that plus it is fun to ride, frugal on fuel, looks great and is relatively cheap to buy and service. It can also go faster than I generally like to ride and weighs in at a comfortable 184kg. The electric screen, traction control, dash information and keyless are other strong points for me. The Tracker is good, I suppose, but two lots of £109 per year might get to be rather expensive.
On the downside, the mirrors are definitely poor and the suspension can't possibly match a big touring bike but I'm learning to live with these aspects and hardly think about them now. I don't have any opinion on the lights (apart from liking low power draw) as I've not ridden in the dark yet, and rarely do.
I just think that it's a cracking all round machine. I honestly never thought that a scoot could be fun until I bought my red PCX. So glad that I did.
ps. yes Tam, we'll get some miles in when the temps rise
