Last week I took a second-hand Forza 750 out from my local Honda dealer. I gave serious consideration to buying it for the just under £8K price as soon as the test ride was over but the trade-in offered on my Burgman 650 was laughable.

I started to look around at other Forza options and saw a '24 with a full set of luggage and relatively high mileage at a central London dealer, but sensible money at £8,250. I gave the dealer a call and discussed trade-in value on the Burgman. It was okay, less than I could get selling privately, but also far less hassle. So, today I visited the dealership and discovered the mileage on the Forza is only 2,500, not the 6500 advertised, and in addition, the luggage includes the soft bags and the bike/scooter has had the Honda heated grips fitted and the factory accessory wind deflectors have been fitted too and a tracker will only be £99 including fitting.

Needless to say, a deposit has been paid and hopefully, I'll be collecting it next week.

Sounds like a sweet deal with the bonus of a lower than expected mileage...!
