I live in Iran, and the government sanctions do not allow the entry of any world-class motorcycle, and we import whatever motorcycle we import, and with trouble and fear that the police will seize it and fine it, and all of Iran loves it. They are Japanese brands like Honda. Yamaha and Suzuki, but we recently smuggled scooters and race bikes from BMW. Believe me, if my country was as free as yours and all motorcycle brands existed, I would not have given a second ride with this BMW to all the Japanese companies. One of them is the GTO model, the smuggled tail has such a ride that Honda's Forza will always ride like that, even though the BMW engine is heavy, but when you ride it, it feels like you are riding a piece of tree leaf, the weight distribution is excellent, and it is easy to maneuver in the city. But the Forza is really heavy and in the city traffic you feel like you want to hit the ground, but this engine is light and maneuverable in spite of its large dimensions. If I were you, I wouldn't talk about Japan until it's worth it, even the maintenance cost. If it is high, it is worth riding, it is worth a hundred Hondas

Thanks from Australia for the vid I bought the C400 Ion. 5 yr warranty 3 yr roadside assist is nice As a town bike excellent. Motorways here where speed is mostly 110 kmph no worries. So honestly this or the 350 Forza are great town and short motorway stints. Overall for my needs 10/10.

@thephranc legally… where I live if it’s under 50cc it’s a moped (legally), not if it has pedals. I liked to call this a moped either way… I’m not really fussed if people want to correct me all day about it 😂

I'm actually quite impressed with my Honda forza 350, it was also about 3k cheaper than the BMW if i heard you correctly at over 8k. I have a few niggles with it, don't we all with every bike/scoot we own lol 😅. Nice review/thoughts though fella 👌 🤟🤙

Yeah they actually start at £6560. But a couple of options later it’s basically 8k 😅 like the one in this video. Oh we all have niggles! Thanks for commenting 🙂

I am from Iran, why do the people of the world think of being cheap? BMW's personality, driving and maneuverability, which has a world value, a person with originality goes for BMW.
