idman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Two months ago I inquired from those members of Thai Visa who had been gung-ho about this scooter to please give a review after at least having ridden the scooter for 7500km. What did I get? Nadda, Bupkus, nothing unless of course you count those that chimed in about seat upgrades, shock upgrades, exhaust upgrades. That is not the information that can assist one in making a decision on buying a Forza or the Sym GT 300i Evo. Surely there are members out there who have something to say about their experiences with their Forza's. After all the early interest and initial posts it's defies logic that no one has something to say.

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Well first of all it does Not matter what other people say about the bike, you have to ride it yourself to judge if it is any good or not, how do you do this you ask, the only way is to rent! I have done just over 2000kms it's a great bike /scooter, plenty of power if you are not a speed freak, gets away fast enough, very smooth ride, as for the seat, it is hard so I got rid of mine quickly and have a completely re-done seat, it is better! I have now got the Akrapovic exhaust, it looks better, it sounds great, it is not noisy at all, I am 6' 3" and there is plenty of room for me, the big brake dis is a good addition, it looks good!! If you have any specific questions just ask, I am not. Professional bike reviewer!

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Sometimes rather than waiting for someone to post a response to a question it pays to pm a member who has been posting about the bike you are asking about, not everyone can be bothered to post a long review about a scooter/bike! Ask questions rather than expect a long review!! Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsie888 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Since I haven't yet done 1,000 kms on mine, I don't meet your criteria for a review. Sorry about that, I should have informed you beforehand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idman Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Why am I not the least bit surprised by some of the responses? Most likely due to the fact that instead of offering an informative review of ones experiences with ownership of a Forza I am expected to either rent one, ask specific questions, send somebody an out of the blue inquiry or just go buy one. So much for being helpful. I guess it's just easier to take cheap shots at a poster and tell them how they should go about seeking information. If you don't have a Forza then shut up,mind your own business and let those who have something informative to share do so. To the responder who actually had something worthwhile to say I appreciate your input.

guzzi850m2 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 As somebody advised, rent one man, it's the best way to find out if you want/like one or not. After I rented a PCX on Phuket I knew I wanted one and bought one as soon as I could get a 150cc model and never regreted it. It's easy and cheap to rent one and might save you lots of baht if you don't like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app If you want to know anything then pm me, I am absolutely no good at writing a review, but honestly the only way to find out about the bike of choice is to rent one, people can tell you things but they will be of a different size, they will like different things, again if you have any questions pm me and I will try to help!

Popular Post lemoncake Posted October 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2013 Personally I find it mind boggling that someone thinks or feels he has the right to come to the forum and demand reviews or complain in that tone for not having enough. I have had a forza from the first month it came out and there is no way in hell I will give review for someone demanding it 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken George Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Did not think the bike had been for sale in Thailand for long rnough gor prople to give a review after 7500k? I may be wrong or thr OP dhould try a forum in snother country where it has! My opinion is its too big an engine for a Schooter get a motor bike. I have the 153cc version PCX its fine for what I want. Also if you find a forum whete you can get ingo the state your age weight height and expected use. No good getting a review from a 35 kg kid in Bangkok if you are a 160kg 70 year old living in the mountains!! Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angiud Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Personally I don't like too much the design of the Forza 300, IMHO bulky, so I didn't buy. Technically should be ok. I own a great pcx 125, of which I'm completely happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i bought mine it had 2 wheels, steering wheel and a petrol tank, 7500 kms later it still has 2 wheels, steering wheel and a petrol tank.

I have had a forza from the first month it came out and there is no way in hell I will give review for someone demanding it You're absolutely right. Prior to buying the Forza I asked on the forum if anybody had any experience with the SH150i. No one replied and it didn't bother me. It does seem to me, the OP has an attitude issue though.

dogpoo Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I don't think it's fair to have a go at the op, it really is annoying when you ask for advice etc and no one replys, maybe he has come across as being forceful in the way he has asked his question, some people are good at writing reviews many people are not, again if he has specific questions in mind there is the offer of help, it all boils down to renting one, that is the only sure way of knowing if the bike is right for you!!

He should send you a PM but you cannot be bothered to look up Fibreglass Whip for bicycles? Please Google "pot calling the kettle black" or would you like me to do that for you as well. I shouldn't have had to tell you to Google anything because your natural curiosity should be enough for you to do that without prompting.

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app There is nothing wrong with asking for advice, there is however something wrong demanding and expecting it. There are ways to ask to get an answer and ways to complain. In OP's case, he hardly contributed anything to the forum with his 28 posts including this one for over 2 months, so really he is in no position to demand or complain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be more helpful for the person to tell the person the answer!

The usual pissant Jackeens seems to delight in pointing out how lame, how lazy, how you don't contribute enough to warrant an answer,how you don't phrase your post in a manner to their liking, ad nosium. And of course there are those who take offense due to their addled brains being overrun with their beer consumption. IMO you are a pathetic bunch of whiners with nothing constructive to add to ANY topic posted on Thai Visa. A simple request for an update on those who have purchased a Forza turned into a flaming not only of myself but those who actually had something intelligent to contribute.
