that would be nice! got to be a typo error .

I'd have thought so. It would sound interesting.

I dropped my SH last week. We've got a flat area at the top of our drive and then a steep, short concrete section down to the road. There's not enough room on the flat bit to completely turn the bike, so you have to roll at an angle onto the slope. My foot slipped and down it went. Scratched the plastics beside the foot board and put some gashes in the screen. It's the one thing I hate about plastics on scooters -they damage so easily.

Oh well, it's only a scooter.

Bugger....sounds like a bigger & heavier scoot is out of the question then!

are we saying the new forza is not coming out, or just not for UK market ?

I don't think anyone really knows Mick. The sales guy at Sutton said watch this space.

I would be surprised if something didn't come out, though we don't know what, or when! I'm surprised Honda have dropped the existing Forza 300 so early...though maybe production in Thailand was halted in preparation for the new model, and they all sold out.

would a low profile Lazy Susan Bearing and a bit of ply or kick plate on top help - turn table for the centre stand - simply balance and spin!
got the bearing in my garage (still had it 3 years - still not got around to making one...)
would allow you to turn the scoot round on the spot!

I stayed at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford (the one that was always on Morse) and went into the underground carpark. There was a space allocated but no way I was going to manoevre my Senator to get in it. Another guest was coming out and said to me "you've not been here before" and swung my car round on the turntable.

Speaking of disappearing scooters....

Out of interest (for me, not necessarily of much interest to anyone else) but on the French Peugeot scooter website, they do not offer any 2 wheeled machine over 150cc. Citystar, Satelis are both 125 only. Probably explains why on the UK site they still have the Satelis 400c without ABS - they may be old, unsold stock.
