There are Puig, Givi and Ermax screens available for the Forza should you feel the need.
The Kawasaki J300 has drab colours, a kph speedo and dubious availability of the ABS option.
Thus the Downtown is superior to the J300 imo.
If you do big mileages the clear winner is the Forza with its long service interval.

Welcome Mister Klyk.

There's quite a few "ABS" bargains in your area!: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/search/used ... ascdefault" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Burgman 400 ABS is a very accomplished Scoot, and there can be some bargains to be had too, which is handy when you have a young family! ;)

What's your ideal budget?
If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.

Thanks for the info guys and for the link anonstarter.
Haven't thought of the budget yet. Have to see what I can get for my X City first...
Anyone interested make me an offer ;)

Right. Went to a Honda dealer today and sat on a Forza
Seems like a nice scooter but a non starter for me as my knees touch the front :(
While there the integra caught my eye. Beautiful machine!
Asked for a test ride but they only had a nc750s dct available, so I went out on that.
Hated the riding position but the gearbox was great!
So now I am seriously thinking about a NC700x. Sat on an X and it felt very comfortable. So next step is to trawl the net for bargains and see what a used one would go for

Wife not pleased...

Quite simple to remove padding from the seat back which gains you a fair bit of legroom.
Six bolts to get it off, unstaple the cover, cut down the foam, staple the cover back down and bolt it back on.
Sorted.
