Honda Forza 350

87.2mpg. That's ok but not as good as I'd hoped it would be. But then we don't know how each others' route conditions compare, I guess.

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

The one I'm buying was showing 95mpg when I tried it - no idea how it's been ridden but probably at 'running in' speeds.
Of which there is zero mention in the handbook!

Just got back from touring Scotland. Mixture of thrashing up the A1 and some calmer rides on single track roads + spirited A-road rides averaged around 79 mpg overall - 70-ish on the long, fast runs and over 80 mpg on the slower roads. I was impressed by the torque coming up a 1 in 3 hill in Yorkshire though!

I bought one. Love it. But to be honest it doesn’t seem that much different to my clapped out old x7 piaggio 250. Loved that too. Honda has a bit more oomph I suppose.

I loved the styling of those. Not everyone did. Definitely a "marmite," scooter.

The dealer that bought mine from advised me to keep revs below 6000rpm until the first (600mile) service. I couldn’t corroborate this with the manual at the time but eventually found a comment in there that advises gentle use for the first 300 miles. I was surprised that modern kit needs running all to be honest. Giving it the beans now (900 miles) and I’ve seen just over 90mph on the clock (at my private testing grounds).

Has anyone bought the cable for plugging in a phone in the glove compartment? Scoot didn’t come with it and I’m guessing the price from Honda will be spicy

It's usb-c. Cables and adaptors to usb are available cheaply.

Poundland sells them

Ahhh, ok. That’s easy enough then. Is there anything else needed once I’ve plugged the phone in, by way of software? There are some buttons on the handlebars but I’m not sure what they do . I’ll have to dig the manual out...
