I love that Honda Forza 750, the model is cute also, the forza 350 also looks good. The Yamaha TMAX is nice...too expensive though for you get. Honda Advan 750 also very nice...

a lot of nice looking, expensive scoots! Wonder which global market buys the most of these newer 400 cc scoots? I'm sure there are tax implications in many markets for scooters this big.

Both the 750 Hondas (Forza & X-ADV) are over £10K are in the UK making them too rich for my blood. Now if I can find a low mileage example at about £8K...

Well, like the elder said, " the best scooter is the paid scooter"! 😀🛠

A 750 ADV.....?....adventure scooter

Taking a 600lb scooter off-road will be an adventure.

Reminds me of the desperate "Picnic" Vespa.
The theory seems to be 'build them and someone will buy it.'

Silly $ for a twist-and-go. Take that $14000.00 over to the motorcycle side of the dealer's floor and see what you can get!

These machines are so ridiculously overdone that they only belong in sci-fi movies!  Completely pointless!  Thanks for the preview - saves me the effort of visiting the dealer!

Now, while on a good rant on this topic, I needed an air filter for my 2009 Kymco, and was fussing about it because the bike is older, and parts are scarce since there's no dealers any more.  Should I trade it in or try a little harder to find parts? So I went on Amazon and did a search, and there was the filter! I placed the order and it arrived  two days later with free shipping.  Unbelievable!  Yet another reason to keep my 16-yr old Kymco for a while longer!

I won't be going for coffee in Wyoming - or towing a caravan. So a 350 would do me just fine.

Good thing Honda doesn't sell a mid-size in the USA. Or I might be ready to sell my Kymco and Piaggio - and ride towards my sunset on another red Forza!

Will do Hawk. I’m away from home ATM, returning on Monday so, at some point next week, I’ll mooch down for a bit of tyre kicking!
