Yo! Fellow Scooteristi

Post by maccecht »

I know a few of you have been converted to the practicalities of commuting on a big Scoot. I favour the Burgmsn 650 at the moment but it is getting a bit dog eared. As her Royal majesty will be granting me an Army pension next year with a nice little lump sum I may be tempted by the New Forza 750 will find out more at the grand unveiling on Oct 14th

Didn't you have one of those 750 X-ADV's ?

I must have missed a memo?
I've always liked the idea of a super scoot for commuting but my old Triumph Tiger is holding up well and is really capable so its ,staying.

I did but some low life scumbags made off with it, bastards. I replaced it with a Tracer 900. Use the Burg everyday as my commuter loads of storage and filters very nicely with the mirrors folded in. It's super comfy quick enough but the storage is the key for me. Be interesting to see how much the forza has same set up as the ADV dct not CVT. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh

Is this doing away with the DCT Integra?
