Yesterday, I couldn't resist myself. I was down at the Honda dealer and saw this shiny new Honda Forza sitting there. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED my Swing, but after five years of flawless service and 18,000 miles.......I just couldn't resist!

The reason I went down in size to the Forza? MPG's. I only use the bike around town, it never left the county in which I live. I didn't see the point of the bigger engine in the Swing. So, here is a list of the things I will give up. A taller wind screen and the ability to put a piping hot Papa Johns Pizza in the trunk and getting it home.

As the price of Petro goes up and up that extra 15 mpg's is going to come in really handy later. But I really want to thank everyone in here for helping me with my Swing. It's been a pleasure and you all have been a great help!

Thanks!

txtrkdrvr,

Congrats on your new bike and hope you enjoy it. I have heard great things about the Forza and can see why it is popular. It also is supposed to get up to 85 mph as well so if you want to go on the interstate you will have no problem. Tell us how you like it after you get some miles on it. I'm sure we would all like to hear about it.

I would have bought Forza----but the ugly BLACK wheels scared me off----So I have left over SilverWing.

Did test ride Forza and found nothing lacking other than windshield.

So far the only nags about the bike.....with 30 miles on the clock.......is the wind screen and the extremely stiff suspension. The wind blast from the small wind screen is considerably more than the Swing and the suspension isn't as plush. I'm sure the aftermarket will have parts soon for this bike. Hopefully some upgraded suspenders and a smoked colour windscreen.  More later.

Congradulations on the new ride. The Forza came out before I got my Swing and had thought that was the route I'd go but did get Swing instead.
 bounce Now back to the pizza box, did you put it under your seat or did your Swing have a top box and if so, what size.

A PapaJohns Large Pizza will just barely fit under the seat on a Swing, you might have to crimp a corner of the card board. But I did it everytime I ordered pizza. No chance a large would fit in the Forza.
