Why can't all scooters have handlebars?!
They can be adjusted up and down, and the brake reservoirs are right there!


North America Forzas came with a clear screen - I liked the export versions found in Asia and Europe.

So, I removed my screen, taped it off and spray painted flat black to the inside of the screen - this kept the high gloss front of the screen and the Honda logo.


And finally - always liked the GP positioned scripts.....*



Probably the only modifications that made the Forza safer, were the longer stemmed mirrors and reflective wheel trim.
The other things just made it 'better'

* I sold the Forza in phone calls and emails to a distant dealer for a Burgman. He met my asking price, and I agreed to his discounted, "internet price". I emailed several photos of the Forza - after the sale I told him that I could remove the "HONDA" script. He said, "No, it looks good and should make it easier to sell!"

Still looks the business in ed Stig.  Can't believe you chopped it in for a Burgervan!

very good looking scoot that would seem to do it all! Did that seat fit you?  I know all the work you did to get your Like seat to fit better.

Honda's aren't rockets in my experience - but it had the cc's to suit my needs. Well made.
Yep - the seat worked fine after I loosened the 4 mount bolts and lifted the handlebars from my knees. This was the first thing I did after riding it home across town from the dealer's lot. I sat it in the showroom - but test rides are forbidden at my dealer.  This was the scooter where I noticed that one of my thighs is longer than the other! Maybe that's why I always turn left when lost in the woods?
I DID enjoy the Burgman's adjustable butt pad. Pushed it full back.

And I really like the long seat on the Liberty - I can sit pretty much anywhere.

The Burgman was for two-up riding with the Mrs. as I approached retirement.
Then she read of one too many couples deaths on bikes - and decided that at least one of us needs to be around.....for our 34 off-spring which live in the area. Our daughter was still in her mid-teens.
I think my wife had had a bad experience riding with a boyfriend......

You don't know how many times I've shopped another on cycle-trader! (I still have filters and hardware in my spares drawer)

Y.S. w/ my son.
I bought a pair of his CB500X longer stem mirrors - perfect match for my Forza! Big improvement!
