I have sat on the new Forza 300, it is the same size as the 125, but why go for a 300, when the Xmax 400 costs about the same to run (tax and insurance). The 300 probably does not have enough go in it on long motorway stretches. (I have to slow up on my Silverwing when riding out with the old model)
I'm still not a lover of keyless ignition, Honda Chiswick have produced a video about emergency process to liven the scooter up if you lose the fob, but I don't like process. Making the video indicates a problem.
Having said the above, I'm considering one, cos the price is right.

Re: Personal info
My 300 keeps up well enough. It'll cruise at 80 if required and will beyond 90 if really required.

Re: Personal info
Fastest thing on my SH300 is the speedo. 70mph registers at around 63mph on the satnav.

Re: Personal info
Mine is reasonably accurate. So maybe 3-5 out.

I had a Peugeot Elystar that developed a funny fault after the ECU got a wet (it was mounted low down in the bodywork and I had been through some very deep puddles): the speed displayed was exactly DOUBLE the real speed.

I live close to the Wychbold Long Wave transmitter and when I cycle past it, my bike computer goes up to 99.9mph. Does wonders for my average speed.

My Dad and Father in Law were GPO/BT.
Few other ex GPO/BT'ers here.
I would of worked for them, but didn't drink enough beer.

Re: Personal info
When i came out of the Army i went to a garage to work as a mechanic then after a few months ( i had had an interview whilst still in the forces )
got a call to start work for them....Should i loose the fantastic money i was on or go to the GPO for less that half the money ....I chose the pension way Then that bloody women took half of it off us and made us carry on paying the same % into the pot..May she rot in hell
Gone way off base with that lot
No ride on the new Forza as both went out this morning
BTW after the army i have never touched another pint of beer...EVER, i have the odd glass of wine with a meal.
