I miss this scooter

[Stig / Major Tom]

Stig,

Here is the place in Rome where I bought all of my scooters. The website is in Italian, but I think you can get the gist of it. The images download a little slowly, but under Honda scooters, they still sell the Forza 300. It still is a great looking scooter. just FYI

Yes it is. The motor is sourced out by Kawasaki to Kymco

It uses a Kymco motor and is basically a DT300

More than "basically", I was told by my dealer that the mill is a straight lift!

I think we are talking about US market Forza---real sales flop here.  I considered buying one, took test ride=ok other than a little hard riding----then thought of costs---decent windshield, rear luggage rack/box--had read about odd sized rear tire.....then Honda took off market as sales flop----so bought a CB300F, Hepco & Becker rear rack and saddle bags, worked for me for 18,000 miles until I got tired of open chain----made up from 2 Puig screens, perfect air management---all day comfort with 3/4 long bill helmet---took it to Alaska and on the James Bay road in Quebec. Thai quality fine.

I got a nice price for my Forza. Had no interest in a rack or case. Loved the stock screen. Replacement slightly oversized rear tire (after a massive cut) absolutely zeroed in the speedo!
I do not cruise highways on 2 wheels - so it made me happy every time I approached it!

Can't disagree with you Viper, there's far too much 2-wheel snobbery around. 

Continuing the spirit full disclosure I should just say that, as a real Team Green fan and previous Kawasaki owner, I went out to buy a J300 last year.  The dealer then asked me why, given that they were selling the X-Town 300i (basically an updated J300 which is a re-badged DownTown 300) for roughly £1,100 less.  To quote our American cousins, I decided this was a no brainer, the XT300 is was then. 

Great price, brilliant scooter.

I also like a bit of team green. I had a KLE500 for quite a few years and adored it. I like the GPZ500 as well. Both quite old hat now...
