If the Joymax was ABS and £3815 and had longer service intervals and an mph speedo and there was a demonstrator at a local dealer for me to try... now there would be a real dilemma :?

Well I had a road test of the Forza on Saturday, after just going to have a look to see if there was one in stock. I'm not convinved that it's the one for me though, not so good in the leg reach dept. Quite short and cramped. very light and easy to control, which was very enjoyable. Would have prefered a full length windscreen. But maybe another longer test might change my mind. GN your right about being able to have a look and test a Joymax, I really like the look of the Joymax, but difficult to have a look when there is no local dealer with one in stock. :?

Not sure if they still are agents for Sym, only Kymco gets a mention on their website.

I went to Grantham Honda today for a ride out, and ended up taking there Forza Demonstrator out for a spin! :D
Really liked it except the Feet forward riding position was a fraction cramped for my 5' 10"
Engine was a peach, just like I remembered the SH300, it only had 200 miles on the clock but it bowled along at 70mph without fuss. :)
I got totally lost on the test ride and ended up putting over 50 miles on the clock, the fuel gauge never budged! :D
Really enjoyed the ride.
I can understand why Honda are selling loads of them, the salesman said they have to order them for customers because they are selling so well. I well believe it!

Yep the Forza is silky smoooth, love it.
I fuelled mine this morning, 156 miles 9.37 litres, roughly 76mpg which corresponded exactly with the dashboard fuel consumption display.
Not bad considering the PCX got 90(ish) mpg on the same route at the same speeds.

Blimey, I hadn't realised Gn that you had taken delivery of the Forza. Well done. Good on fuel by the sound of it and it'll only get better as you know I'm sure. Can we look forward to your review soon?

Picked it up last Thursday.
There's not a lot to say that hasn't been said already.
Its a nice machine, does what I need it to and I am enjoying riding again, the fast A-road commute had become a real chore on the PCX.

I'm so pleased for you Gn. It's nice to enjoy the riding and with the bigger engine it does alter things quite a bit eh! Good one. ;)

Could have been me Mac, mine's white and I wear a white helmet and black/hi-viz jacket.
As of 3/9/13 Ecosse had sold five of them.
