Z10's are crazy, GSXR1000 my favorite, Fireblade's and BM S1000 are up there, not sure about Ducati price wise. All available at reasonable cost unlike the exotic bikes.

April 1, 20232 yr I wudn't fancy riding any half decent off rd tyres on wet Thai roads TBH. anyways Im too old now for a good blast over an off rd route... used to do bit of trailing riding/Green lanes back in UK years ago, tiny bit of Trials when a kid Just for the Forza Haters - Iv got fully adjustable levers, YZZ adjustable rear shocks with Sub Tanks, Uprated front Forks and shod with Pirrelli Dragons pmsl Still best comfortable do everything I need bike for me in Phuky... 10yrs old and still going strong my old barge, can get 3 large bags of shopping or two full face helmets plus other crap under seat when needed...

I live right in Pa-Tong, at back near PisitKoranee rd - 5 mins from Centre or beach, daily fit between traffic at standstill no issue what so ever, although I did catch a wing mirror on a pick up who had stopped blocking a rd in Phuket Town ystday, clipped it with my mirror - he Honked and Got the Finger for being selfish and no harm done... You obvs need to come down here from the Smoke, have a Coke & a Smile and a Blat on my Forza then you will see the light... 555

Im not Forza hater at all, and as long people enjoy their rides thats enough for me. what I can not get in my head is having a Forza in heavy trafficked areas or for touring purposes, I see no advantages at all comparing to other bikes, except for those with short legs. However for my long touring trips, I would not choose any close to a Vulcan type either, or RR bikes for that sakes. Again, as long people enjoy their rides, good for them. Do not need to excuse your self for your choice. Another thing, when I feel Im getting to old, I will also buy a new car ???? To many holding on to their dream to long.

Forzas are fine in traffic, and they are great for touring, I did Bangkok to Chiang Mai via Mae Sot and Mae Hong Song on a Forza 300 (the modern model) and it was great. No need for panniers or bags, as everything went under the seat, was fine on the highway parts, and great on the back roads. Very comfortable as well, and I am 6' 2"
