You folks have me laughing so hard I can't hold the camera still!


Some quiet time is what you need....

All the stuff going on in the world....and folks get exercised over pix of the wrong scooter.
BTW- thanks for posting them 2nd time!
Stig

Not exercised just feel bad for the guy that has nowhere else to post his Honda pics.
Poor left out Forza not a place to call its own........ ;)

Stig will be fine as he's made of the toughest metal. Who else rides all winter wayyyyy up there?
Very few. I know he's tougher than his scoot...... ;)

Also-ran my arse :lol:
After the mid August launch in the UK, Honda sold more Forzas in six weeks of Q3 than Kymco have sold Downtowns in four years.

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/kymco_downtown
https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/honda_nss_300_a-d

All manufacturers have glitches along the way, I remember early Downtowns had dodgy rear brakes for example.




Is the NSS 300 a Fordza ? 

Downtown sales :

It’s not just a new unit, and an attractive design but is about the version 350i Kymco bestseller a little lighter and more luxurious. Introduced in 2009, after more than 100,000 copies sold ,Downtown has undergone a thorough redesign. In addition to new and attractive design, there are technical modifications, which include serial Bosch ABS system, but  saved also six pounds.


I see 100,000 DTs sold since mid-2009 .

You forgot to ad the Hi, and Low beam headlight... Both of these unbelievable actions are controlled via: one simple to operate, and ergonomically designed "Comfort Switch" .

Just the thought of it make me all gushy inside. Oh my.

I've seen the same numbers in a few places.

http://www.motorcyclesreviews.net/kymco-downtown-350i/

Don't know if he's a dealer or just a Honda guy on a Kymco forum. The Forza is selling in dribs and drabs particularly in the US and that comes from people at Honda.

Those that accuse me of being a Honda basher have never seen what's been in my garage over the years. I'll say it again honda makes some great cycles but average scooters.

To be fair I should say Honda "offers" average scoots in the US. 
It is what it is and the Forza is a good scooter, that's it.
