Forza 350?

[johnakay]

I'm considering in getting the new Forza 350.
can't find anything on you tube riding two up.
what I mean by two up is that I ride with my wife.
just need to how this little 350 perform with two on.
most if not all show one rider.
my local honda dealer doesn't have one in or a demo.
but have the forza 125 no good for me.
will the 350 be sluggish riding two up?.pull well ,good acceleration etc.

currently I have a tracer 700 and an old Suzuki T500k.
after my tour next year of the Scottish highlands.
been there this year and the weather was hot but we enjoyed it.(1524 miles in all when we got back home)
two that I'm considering inc the new Honda NC750X DCT.
big improvement compared to the old 700 that I had .
heres some pics.

Touring is possible on any bike. But the 300 was OK. On Motorways it may struggle two up but it depends on how fast you want to go and style of riding.

The bigger bikes will have power to spare but of course will cost a lot more. The NC doesn't offer as much protection.

My Forza 125 amazed me by happily going up the local steep 'test' hill two-up, at the same speed as all the other traffic...haven't had a pillion on my 350 yet, but no reason it should be a problem! It's pretty brisk solo...

not wanting the Forza for motorways. just for local runs over the Yorkshire moor's ,the dales etc.
considering in selling my old T500 to buy the forza as I think it will get more use especially in the colder months.
getting the NC750x dct for longer runs,some time next year.
most of my speed these days are any where up to 80 mph but mostly 50-60 mph.
if motorway say going on the m6 to jockland then I may go up to 80 but that's it.
speed doesn't appeal to me these days, acceleration does if I need it.
thanks it'll give something to think about.

been looking at Kymco exciting 400 they seem to be a nice looking bike .
theres a dealer not far from me about 25 miles away.
are they good reliable scooters?
power look to be the same as the Forza.

Kymco scooters are great. However, the importer is a bit iffy and the dealer network patchy. I'd look at an AK550 is there was a dealer within 125 miles!

[johnakay]

that was my thought to and if the Chinese decide to invade .
what would the supply be like?
think I'll stick with getting forza next year.

The Kymco xciting is every bit as good if not better than a forza 350 and produces 35.5 bhp compared to the Honda’s 29 bhp - the Kymco is £200 more expensive than the Honda - the Kymco costs £5600 but is a full blown 399cc bike compared to the Honda’s 330cc - if you crave power going over those Yorkshire dales then the Kymco is the natural choice - the Kymco is manufactured in Korea by the way and not China which you appear to be suggesting

[johnakay]

Korea oh thats even better.
always thought they were made in Taiwan.
obviously I will need something with a bit of poke with combined weight of 27 stone.
doing one more tour of the highlands next year then I'll sell my bike.

I stand corrected Taiwan it is - Kwan Yang Motor Company
