Orederd today but 3 maybe 4 months wait, cost 221,000 extras included in price.

Alot more than the standard Fora but you like and want what you want, this will be my last bike purchase so its worth the extra, 8 yr old Forza will be retired it's been a superb bike and still looks like new.

220k for a 350 scooter sheesh. Paid less for my 500 hah.

 

Heard good things about Nitron shocks. Hope that thing will make you happy if it's the last bike for you. I remember you were riding much bigger caliber.

Yea but I'm alot older now, had the 155cc NMax for 8 yrs now so the Forza will be awesome upgrade, miss my Z1000 and CB650 at some point you have to calm down, the Forza will be perfect for me in my advancing years.

Fair enough. BTW did they also upgrade the fork internals or is it just the shocks?

Yeah, looks deadly enough. There are 20cm deep potholes around my place. Stick to SUVs.

Honda 500x better all round for Thailand than a girls scoot. ????

For that money you could have bought a real bike with gears and all that.

I guess some guys buy bikes and play with girls. And other guys buy girly bikes. ????

No problem, and even fun, with the right bike.

Nah. 

 

Nah boring.

Here is my great 155cc NMax, 80,000kms done, many trips to Cha Am from Phuket 1400kms round trip, if the Forza is even half as good as this I'll be very happy, looking forward to fishing trips once the bike arrives. Happy days.

Oh and note the girlie top box, love it.

I was just looking at the Honda ADV (200K for the 350 or 120k for the 160) . Guess very similar? But I’m naturally inclined towards the Honda brand. Maybe I should just stick with the 8 year old 125 Wave which just seems ,with regular servicing,to perform like new !

I've had the NMax for close to 8 years and it's been great, I don't want a gear bike so the Forza is a very good upgrade, yes it's expensive over the normal Forza but it looks great with the factory fitted extras and that is good enough for me, the Forza will hopefully do me for another 7 or 8 years.

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

Cool show us a picture of it when it arrives, no need to show a naked picture of yourself on it.

This one is not standard. 36k THB for a suspension upgrade with proper components does not sound too outlandish.

36k not outlandish?.! You’re a very significant portion of the way towards buying a whole new lower end scooter for that ! 
Just for some suspension tweaks..? ????

(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//

Depends on the components. You can also buy suspensions that cost more than the Forza itself.

Is it only shocks though? Nothing done to fork internals? If it's really lower end Nitrons and only shocks then yea a bit expensive. Couldn't find exact changes for this model.

You don't have to wait.

And if you can afford that then you wouldn't buy a Forza.

He's done with proper geared bikes and wants a scooter. What else is there? An X-Adv? Maybe too heavy. I guess an ADV 350? X-Max? Just to be clear, Forza isn't for me either.
