loserlazer Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 i know, we cannot get all we want from life but why it is not a 400 cc? i am hearing great things from some Thai fiends around, they all praise the bike. I think honda again hit ti from 12 - no 11 as it is not a 400 cc. really holding myself hard to get one and turn it into a mobile dj station with all audio mods possible.

TramsRepus Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I must go and test ride this Forza. What can i expect to get for a soon one year old PCX150 with only 1500Km on the clock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local dealer in Bangkok (Thepparak) offered me just THB 44000 for my old PCX150 with only 1400Km on the clock. So I have decided not to change to Forza, as the dealer was way too greedy.

So sell it privately on TV classifieds, you'll probably get around 60k and they are seeling like hotcakes second hand atm. Then you got the cash to buy your Forza.....that's exactly what i did all be it buy Forza first and sell PCX within 24 hours of placing Ad....simples!!!

Rickster Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I seem to recall seeing a post on this thread where someone copied a link for an english manual for the Forza 300 but i'm damned if i can find it. Want to reset the mpg reading back to zero but can' fathom out how to do it which is crazy as i've already done it once already. If i hold the mode and reset button together for about 3 seconds it only allows me to change the clock, nothing else, at this point i should be able to reset the trip counters and mpg counter. Any ideas about the fix or even the manual would be better....cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcharacters Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 another state of the art Honda website http://www.forzagrandvoyage.com/ That is a good website. I wish the car manufactures would make a little more effort to produce such a site for the cars and trucks sold here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even ask a dealer anymore, they offer the lowest rates since they want to resell it with a big profit. It would be easy to leave the "old" bike there when you pick up the new one, but if you want to get a reasonable offer, place an ad. PCX always sold well, but the prices went down for 125 owners when the 150 came out. Now that many want the 300 the prices for the 150 will go down slightly but you'll surely get more than 44K for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Up in the mountains in the North it can be close to zero Deg.C during winter season but it hardly justifies heated grips unless you live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Now and hard question to the Forza owners, anyone know or seen the accessories yet? i wan to get back support on mine Back support not cheap at 6500B, here's a link for the accessories brochure from Honda.... http://www.forzagrandvoyage.com/ebook/h2c/index.php I ordered quite a few items from this brochure through Sumet Cycle yesterday and they had in stock 4 out of the 5 i wanted which is pretty good considering the bike has just come out. I remember when the PCX was first launched there were no genuine accessories for about 3 months, but then that's crap Phuket Honda dealers for you!! Picking up my Akrapovic slip on today as the one thing i just don't like is the stock muffler, too fugly for my liking. I've been assured that the Akrapovic isn't too loud as standard, unless you take the baffle out of course, which i definitely won't be doing!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserlazer Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 wow superb, it looks like the akrapovic for cbr250. Is it specifically designed for forza 300? do you mind if i ask how much the parts are especially the pipe? Just wondering. thanks in advance man, your mods are great, post us some photos.

That's extremely unusual that a dealer would give you an acceptable price like that, making only 2K baht on the deal. 44K is an insult but that's what I would expect. Even if he had a buyer waiting he'd try to give you as little as possible. That's called business. Can anybody tell a similar story where a dealer gave a fair trade-in price?

SumetCycle Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 You will always get more from a private sale than from selling to a dealer. If you have the time, do a private sale.

Rolo Tomazi Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I saw them at the dealer today and yes - the exhaust has definitely to go, it looks terrible, almost as bad as on the new CBRs, those are hard to beat in ugliness. But I was surprised how w i d e they were, the seat and the plastic below the seat - Jeez, a lesbian West-German wrestler could park her hindside on that seat, no problem! A 45kg, 152cm Thai girl should feel like at the gynocologist sitting in the back. I expected it to be a bit bigger than the PCX150 since it looks pretty much the same and has only 300cc. But it's almost as wide as a T-Max. Sure, you get more storage under the seat that way and a bigger fuel tank, but I prefer the sleek lines and the 16" wheels of my Nouvo! Not everybody who wants a scooter is going camping... :-) Any numbers on power and torque yet? I wonder how it compares to the CBR 250 single. Maybe same power, more torque at lower revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
