He'll be too busy trying to peddle all the other low-end brands they sell.

Re: MY HONDA FORZA TEST RIDE
My exact experience as they are also the Daelim importer, very poor imo and they wonder why they are not selling more of their products?SOOTYGULL wrote:No response from MOTOGB yet about a SYM JOYMAX 300i .. actually no response to my email at all so far.

Re: MY HONDA FORZA TEST RIDE
Have you tried getting any parts for the Daelim yet?
Might be worth ordering up the service items, pads, belt, filters etc long before they're due.

No and that's what my emails (twice) to them was about. I also asked what parts if any, were generic?gn2 wrote:Have you tried getting any parts for the Daelim yet?

I have in the past successfully emailed Steve at Motogb on their support email he gave me but it looks as if he has vanished?

Re: MY HONDA FORZA TEST RIDE
well to be honest lad i would just find your nearest daelim dealer, sometimes making a good re pore with the monkeys, is far better than trying to get the organ grinder as they have far more important things to attend to than dealing with the minnions

I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

Re: MY HONDA FORZA TEST RIDE
I finally made my mind up and bought a Kawasaki J300 .... why you might ask ... well if you didn't ask, here's why anyway ..
I had a second ride on the Honda Forza and once again it impressed with its nicely balanced ride at all speeds and such a smooth but punchy engine, no trouble pulling away at the lights and keeping ahead of the cars up to 50mph. Clever Honda as although it apparently has the same engine as in my old SH300, it feels very different; they have made a good engine even better !
It was great on smooth roads and even moderately bumpy roads but over really bumpy, farm roads unfortunately the rear suspension let me feel those bumps; now this is not actually a criticism of the suspension itself, because for most people it would be fine but after my accident my back gives me hell.
Also whilst I got a good trade in for my Tmax the dealers wouldn't budge on the overpriced accessories that I wanted.
So we parted company and hello Kawasaki.

Re: MY HONDA FORZA TEST RIDE
Congratulations on you new purchase, a fine machine. I hope that you enjoy the ride and maybe we will get to see it on a local ride out.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery but today is a gift!
