Whilst I'm sure its a decent bike/scoot to ride, this discussion is still failing to convince me that the Integra is something that I'd really like own.
As for chains, someone in a nearby office had a 700X when they first came out. Whilst chains are not my field of expertise, I was surprised at how chunky the chain on it looked.

AFAIK there's a centre stand available as an accessory from Honda for the NC700X, no idea if it fits on the S or Integra or the new 750s

The optional centre stand for the x and s are slightly different. The integra gets a centre stand fitted from new.

I could be leaning more towards the Forza now considering the comments above
Could chop in the Gilera and have one for £83 per month over 3 years, only downside is I could currently have any colour so long as it's white, either that or wait for black or silver which are on back order
Or I could just keep the Gilera
Decisions, decisions

But do you like the Gilera? Is it working for you? Is it reliable? If answer to those questions is yes, then there's no point in buying something else. However, if the answer to the questions is No, then you have to work out why not, and which other scoot would be better.
There again, whenever did rational thought come into maxi buying decisions????

Interesting, coming from a Forza owner
You do have a point though, it is a cracking machine

The bikes are significantly different, if budget allows they'd make a nice two-bike garage!

Well I think you need a decent long test ride to be sure the NC will provide what you need.
It'll offer a quite different experience to the Runner, not necessarily better as it depends what your use and expectations are. The NC would open up longer trips (abroad), but won't feel so light and effortless (compared to the Runner specifically).
What is it that makes you want to change the Runner, as you've not had it that long?
