Nice test, except for this.

Out on the open backroads the Forza can carve a mean corner, if the pavement is smooth. And that is a big if. The fairly low-tech suspension can be overwhelmed with moderate sized imperfections. Truly rough roads will not be an enjoyable experience on the bright red Honda.

How come a 300 Ninja for $500 less has good suspenders and a $5700 scooter doesn't?

Oh no!! the article says "The Forza is a new-for-2014 300cc-class offering that shares a family resemblance to its PCX150 and Silver Wing stablemates. "

if it's like a Silverwing ... nevermind!!! i'll pass!

Luke... you have no class!!! Plus, you could not handle the power of a Silver Wing...

Sounds like it is aimed at those that are too stupid to learn how to shift a ninja or a cbr250. There are not many scooters with decent suspension.

When you have the engine as suspended weight there is no way you can have good suspension no matter how good or expensive the shocks are.

Or, for some medical reason, are UNABLE to shift.

So, now "I" am offended, so, everyone has to bow to my personal biases, so one person in the whole world won't be offended, because, in this PC society, how dare we offend anyone.

OK
I'm done

[mike6736]

Never be offended... Just consider the source...

Shame on me I forgot those who medically can not shift.

i don't care, i love to shift now for a change. who said i don't have class? now eat my dust! lol

A Guzzoo! Yes, they are great when they're running. Did you notice that the first owner left it in the garage until he found another person to take it off his hands. OR maybe the guy trailered it and couldn't afford the gas to show it around anymore.

I think its typical Honda homely.

[kz1000st]

Besides we can just wait two years and buy the improved Chinese clone.

[LUKE]

ok, ok, i must say i'd settle with a 50cc chinese scooter than riding a Honda Silverwing...i've heard a lot of negative comments about it in other forums...it looks good tho but the CVT and transmission has a lot of untold negative stories . ..just scares me!

Dave, I have as you can see a Voyager Trike kit on my Silver Wing as I have hip on down problems. I can tell you it is one cherry ride..
