From a Burgman to a Forza

[Dr Gonzo]

I've never really gelled with the Burgman 650 I've been riding for around a year and a half now, and so I decided to do something about it.

Getting another TMax was out of the question. I seriously considered a Kymco AK550 but the only available secondhand locally was available for a test ride from the dealer! I then started to think about an X-ADV or a Forza 750. Once I found a local dealer had a second hand Forza 750 available I was on the phone to arrange a test ride today.

Ooh, yes. How much fun and that exhaust note...!

Anybody want to buy a 2016 Burgman 650? I'm going to sell the Burgman and buy a Forza 750. It left me grinning in the same way riding a TMax 560 did. Happy days.

May I ask what is going against the TMax?

I'm due an upgrade in 2027 and all three maxi's you mention are on my list of possible.

I'd love another TMax but having had two stolen three times inside 12 months, I can't deal with the stress of owning another.
That was the reason for buying the Burgman, knowing no one would nick it!

I can appreciate that sad as it is

I'm hopeful Yamaha switching to keyless will put the brakes on the thefts but am also counting this as a factor against, they really have been slow to react. It's almost like they enjoy selling extra bikes to insurance companies ☹

It's the usual Unicorn bike problem. Forza 750 issue is the open chain, but yes I'd rather have a bike still there to deal with the silly race fashion than not.
