Honda Forza 350

[Waldorf]

Thanks, Lenny; that's encouraging.

Not sure about price although I've seen mention of it on the Internet but Honda Dealership up here informed me a week or so ago that March was the earliest expected arrival time for the new Forza.
The chap was helpful but vague; understandable in the light of the present uncertainty/shambles.

Mike......if you sell the wing privately and have cash,Dobles is always worth a call,both Barry,Martyn and Spannerman have got some good deals from them,delivery up to you can always be negotiated,the Forza 350 is a good mid range scoot,have you tried wheeling one about,its about 45kg lighter than the wing.....

Thanks, Steve.
I don't expect to get much for the Silverwing although it's in fairly good shape and has fewer than 11,000 miles on the clock.

I'll certainly keep Dobles in mind.

The weight is one of the attractions; it's only 10kg heavier than the NIU.

Just sold my SWing and have completed 1000 miles on my new Forza 350. I'm very pleased.

What's the rear suspension like please - harsh or comfortable? (In comparison to the X-Max 300, if you have any experience...)

That's the weak part of the bike I'd say....I have a sh350i....rear suspension is ok on smooth roads but not great, rather crashes on poor surfaces

I can tell you how the Forza 300 compares to the Xmax 300 as I've had both - the Forza's suspension has clearly been designed to work with the front suspension and not just thrown together without a care. It's miles better, doing without the harsh wallowing I experienced on the Xmax. And yes, I did adjust the pre-tensioners too.

BTW, I saw a Forza 350 in Brentwood today. Grey one - looked smart but I couldn't see much visual difference over my own 300. Alongside was a J300SE - oh, that looked nice and brought back memories of my one. It was probably one of the best machines I've had and I really wish they had updated it properly since.

Thanks - a local dealer has a one-month-old 350 with 430 miles on it - buyer thought he wanted a scooter but decided he didn't!!
Have test ridden and the X-Max goes in part-ex next Saturday...

what sort of MPG is the new 350's getting??

Yes I'd like to know that too. That's an area where the Xmax is ahead of the Forza 300

Not slow riding but no thrashing.
