My 40th is approaching fast. I tried to convince the missus that I should have a Honda NC750. But she was having none of it. And to be fair for how much I use my bike, it doesn't make sense to fork out £2k to upgrade. Especially when the Forza is such a great bike.
So been deliberating for a while what to treat myself to. I've ended with a TomTom Rider 500 for £ 120 less the going price elsewhere.
Might be tempted to do some other mods on thr Forza if she's going nowhere. Like the guards and maybe some auxiliary lights.

Re: Early birthday present...
My advice would be to get the NC750X as well as a Scoot, that's what I did.......
There was no way she was going to approve that purchase, but her her mum & dad are very ill, I suggested that we should live life whilst we still can and said she could have whatever she wanted (she chose another holiday in Italy) if I could have what I wanted.....

With the Tom Tom,you’ll use T.Y.R.E. to plan routes if you dont already use it with your existing sat nav....
