Same here... reckon I’m going to get in some trouble with the wife when I just go out and buy one without selling my existing bike first !!! 

 

BUT... when are they actually being sold in Thailand ???  (I didn’t catch that in any of the vids or info).

The manufacturers usually don't announce the release date until a week before or so, they also don't tell the dealers.

So everything we read are speculations, currently the speculations say beginning of 2022.

[Fab5BKK]

Agreed, manufacturers won't disclose the release date well in advance.

 

However, prior to the "Public Launch", manufacturers will organize "pre-launch" events for the dealer networks (one objective will be to get the procurement orders & delivery schedules for the new models) and "launch events" for the press & social medias

 

When, the general public starts to be aware of the new release, it'll review the "test ride reviews from the press", then, will go the dealers to discover the new bike "in situ" and buy it!

These big scooters are very practical but so ugly.

Can we have a minutes silence, please for all those people who went out and bought Forza 350's - Then spent 20,000 Baht modding the shocks  .....

 

 

I find the stock suspension on the new Forza to be excellent, even with my wife on the back. And I am picky. It is a great bike. Even on the highway at 110kph not a vibration to be found.

It will suffer from the same drawbacks as the Forza, a suspension that does not fit all people or the conditions in which they ride.

Seems your experience with using adjustable suspension components is sorely lacking, or your Gluteus Maximus can't tell the difference

Be as insulting as you like the Forza is adequate enough for Thailand. 

My Fireblade is perfectly set up thanks. 

My is scoot is just a scoot.

For YOU - not for everybody.

Which is why the aftermarket suspension makers are in business.

Tenere 700 - according to many magazines, road tests, etc - suspension garbage if you weigh over 70 Kg

Expect Forza to be exactly the same. Mine was. Night and day difference.

If YOU don't want it - don't buy it.

But many do see the need
