The Forza is better equipped - the NC-X hasn't even got a centrestand as standard. It may have changed now, but the NC-X only used to have a single front disk brake, whilst the Integra / Forza has twin disks. The NC-X screen is pretty minimal and seat rather hard (apparently). Plus very little wind protection on the X. You pays your money etc!
centre stand £200.
single disc is more than adequate for the bike.
scooter is much heavier 235 kgs where as the x 224 kgs thats nearly two stone extra.
in case you've not notice the NC is a bike not a scooter a different kettle fish bud.
what motorbike that the seat isn't hard,they're like wooden planks,to my experience in my case.

The Honda heated grips finally arrived for the Forza,an expensive extra if i needed to pay for them,but all part of the deal as was installation,all integrated in to the main dash,5 heat settings,not really cold enough to test them on my journey home,i did call in for Brunch at the Super Sausage Towcester for one of their Super Hot Dogs,which aint for the faint hearted….

I think you’ll enjoy it,you are correct about the underseat storage,it is small,my xl lid won’t fit under there,i do have a Honda top box,the screen,although appeared a tad noisy on the one i test rode,it seems ok to me on my machine,certainly no turbulence,seat is very comfortable,i have used my Air Hawk,just to see if it fits and stays on ok,it does,so will probably only use that on weekends away.
I guess the recall work would of been done,if you are getting a new one,possible wire gets pinched down by pillion footrest,also a ECU software rewrite,had the email about that today .

Took the Honda in for the recall work today,the ecu rewrite was straightforward,but they found an issue with the wiring harness,but stupidly Honda wont let them have a spare in stock,so they have to order one,plus they are not allowed to release the bike to the customer as it is a safety recall,i had a loan bike,but generally they dont let customers keep loan bikes overnight,insurance issues apparently,but they have allowed me to keep it,the part is scheduled for delivery Saturday,hopefully it’s delivered early,so the job can be completed,as far as i am aware the workshop close at 1 o’clock on a Saturday,

There is this one,but yours may of been made after the fault was found,mine went in Wednesday,it was inspected parts were needed,because its a safety recall if damage is found they wont release the bike to the customer,my parts are due in tomorrow,i really hope the parts are delivered early and the Forza is fixed,

Thanks Steve I received this from the dealer..

Good morning Charles,



Many thanks for your enquiry.



I’m happy to say that your bike does not require the wiring harness check.



Upon looking your VIN up though it is due for the new ECU software to prevent possible engine stalling.



Fortunately though this is a simple plug in update which typically takes less than an hour.
