Just sold me Triumph Bonney back in UK, as was just not getting to use it anymore over there, Got my Old Forza here in Phuky... Only ever had two Kwaks, a KMX200 Stroker (absolutly manic lol) was a lot younger BTW one of my best bikes years ago was ZZR600E went all over on that, never let me down, proppa good bike... Prob best all rounder have owned was the last of the Pre-Vtec Honda VFRs in the Mke Hailwood replica Shut & Cyt paint job (Red & Silver)... most radical for me was my GXXR K3... the K5s on were too small for my fat backside so after that I started to tone it down a bit, VFR then a Trumpet, just love bikes and just riding em Err I do have an edit; never rode a bike in BKK and dont think I would want to TBH...

Thanks for putting that up, the R1 is a beaut of a bike to ride. 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. Edited March 31, 2023 by Kwasaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
