New bigger Forza hinted!

[blackmoon181]

Shame.
I loved my Integra 750 and was looking forward to the Forza 750.
But no electric screen even though they fit one to the 300
No cruise control to match the Yamaha Tmax

i see the forza 750 is now ride by wire so would be straightforward to add in cruise control... they did this with the Africa Twin. no cruise control initially. then update with ride by wire and then cruise control if memory serves me correctly. seems the luggage space is same volume as the nc750x. will be interesting to see how they can mess around with the throttle mapping/gear changes when its completely ride by wire. does anyone with an africa twin have experience of this? is it really subtle?

I am tempted by the new 750 but, like the experience with the Africa Twin above, I am reluctant to buy when first launched as in the next year or two a revised model with stuff like an electric screen and cruise control will be offered. Cruise control I can live without but I use the adjustable screen on my Burgman all the time!

Yeah, its bizarre that both the 125 and 350 versions have an electric screen, but the 750 doesn't!

Also annoying is that you can buy it in a nice bright red colour in some territories, but I don't think you can in the UK!

About the red - it does appear on the official UK website but not on the list of 3 colours they are offering. The blue looks nice though.

On the screen, I wonder why? It could be betraying that the 750 isn't really a Forza at all, could be because of button overload on the handlebars, or ???

Yes, that's why I wondered if the Red was going to be available in the UK.
As for the screen, its baffling, considering it's generally loaded with tech - customisable riding modes, levels of traction control etc. Perhaps its a cost thing. It isn't actually that well equipped, apart from lack of cruise control, there's no standard luggage apart from the underseat space, and heated grips aren't standard. Screen doesn't appear to be adjustable let alone electrically! To be fair, it looks quite tall, so might possibly be OK as standard, or would be easily & cheaply improved by some sort of wind deflector.

PS no sign of heated seats or adjustable suspension either!

What a huge missed opportunity, riders were waiting for a burghman 650 replacement what honda gave us was an x-adv with running boards and what's with no back end just a two foot length of plastic with a number plate.

[Waldorf]

What are Suzuki offering as a replacement for the 650?

Absolutely nothing! (so far, anyway).

No step-through = not a scooter, in my opinion.
