HONDA FORZA 350: COULD IT BE THE BEST MOTORCYCLE ON THE PLANET?

always makes me chuckle - the folk that have never set foot in a visa agent's office - seem to be experts on the subject ..... All retirement extensions - via agent or not, are personally signed by the head of immingration - he's the boss.....

kinda like a bath tub with wide mirrors ?

least it's got good tyres .... 5555

always amazes me that folk that have never set foot in a visa agent's office, are somehow experts on the subject .....

isn't O res neg campatable ??

He does have a point - I guess one bathtub like scooter, is pretty much like another ......

people in the know use Maneerat.......

prey tell who let you "test ride" an ADV 350 ?? the only bikes dealers have are sold bikes that were ordered months back - which dealer would be daft enough to let anyone sit on one of such bikes, let alone let them ride it ??

if you haven't renewed your extension for "several months" - you are in severe over stay .... No letter from the police going to dig you out of the mire you are now in - You and only you are responsible to renew your extension - If you have trod water for months on end waiting for the visa company to sort - more fool you .... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news......

if it's got to be a 350 "bathtub" in standard form - surely you'd be better off getting the ADV 350 ? - similar price to standard Forza, but comes with showa rear gas shocks and showa longer travel front forks plus nicer ergonomics and more upright riding position (like riding an auto dirt bike) ... and you wouldn't need a 500X either.... win win in my book..

wonder if wearing the 80 bart regular rental helmet, or the super deluxe 100 baht one.... surely some cover under the basic government insurance...?

maybe the op is too rich to care ?

(No Homo) - Ohlins make the best m/cycle suspension - 23k for a Forza.. The Nitron ones being fitted are nearer the YSS G Series shocks, which are circa 9,500 baht ...... That's an awful lot of extra money for a few stickers, on a bike that rides and handles like a bathtub, imho surely better to spend yer hard earned on an ADV 350, which comes with Showa front forks and Showa gas shocks as standard ..and costs 35k less//

i'm waiting for the Forza "Bathtub" Edition ....... lol

yes - all of them - don't own any of them - don't want a bathtub to ride round town on.... This bloke reccons the ADV 350 is the best .... Tend to agree with him .... .

touring Thailand on a geared 125cc bike ..... i couldn't imagine much worse (wave maybe ?).

yes change the suspension as it's dire ...then again so is riding round on a "Bathtub" with lousy ergonomics .....

my fear about buying a second hand bike is that the km's may have been wound back ..... I would only buy from a westener who bought the bike new, and has taken the bike back to the dealers and had it serviced and has receipts to prove what has been done ..... As far as the bike being crashed / repaired - proceed with caution ....

don't like the "chopper" look / riding position .... It's like a licence to get someone to wear a bandanna ... oh - and remember the days it wasn't cool to keep saying things were "cool" - now breedin' everything is cool ....

here's my tenpenny worth.... All 3 are large scooters (many have said they're like riding an old bathtub) Too big, heavy, bulky and dificult to park in cities like BKK, Pattaya and CM Forza and X Max have dreadful ergonomics (the ADV 350 is like you are riding an auto dirt bike) ..... Forza and X Max have dreadful suspension.. Out of the city all 3 are ok, but if you want to do long distances, you would be better off buying a larger geared bike ..... Not sure where any of them fit in - If i has to choose one - It would be the ADV 350 - but in the real world the ADV 150/160 is better (and cheaper) ..... .

i dread to think how much attention to detail the owner does for his 1,200 baht per month ! - prob just changes the oil ! - let me know your T shirt size so i cand let you have a "I Told You So " T Shirt when the brakes fail and you hit the back of a truck with a 100b helmet on yer head ..... Who in their right mind would want to ride about on a 35,000km s hagger anyway ??
