I have just got back from my test ride on the Honda Forza.
Wow!, Super smooth and with plenty of power on tap makes my Burgman seem a bit agricultural.
A lot lighter than the Suzuki and so it's more manoeuvrable. The excellent smooth power delivery and handling makes it fun to ride around town.
I took out on to the A roads and it has plenty of power to accelerate up pass 70 with no trouble at all.
A lovely looking scoot especially in white. There's bags of room under the seat and in the storage boxes, more than my old Pantheon and is on a par with the Burgman.
In standard form I found it a lot colder to ride than the Burgman (Dec 19th) with not as much wind protection and hardly any screen over 50mph I was being blown off I ended up crouching down behind what little screen there is like a teenager!
For me it would need all the extras large screen, hand guards and heated grips.
So all in all and excellent bike but more for short commuting and thrashing around town than for longer commutes and touring.
I'll be sticking with my Burgman for now and if I was moving to a Honda it would be the Silverwing for me.
So if you are in the area there is a great little bike to have a test ride on at Northwest Honda in Preston. Enjoy!
