Two interesting scoots.

I saw a couple of pretty interesting scooters.

The first is the Honda Forza 300: powersports.honda.com/2014/forza.aspx

Looks decent, however you can only get it in red here in the states, it only has SOHC not DOHC, and the under seat storage looks bad.

The other is the Kawasaki J300: www.kawasaki.eu/J300

Only available in Europe, but looks great, has awesome after market parts already available, but again...only available in Europe.

I wish these companies would bring decent bikes to the states.  I know the argument would be that the market isn't there.  But, I can't help but wonder...if they brought the good bikes here, maybe the market would develop.  Yamaha is notorious for this, now it seems like Honda and Kawasaki are doing the same thing.

Yeah, the market is pretty light here for upscale scooters. Then some motorcycles that might make it here also don't get sold here. Most likely profit margins make some of the directions they take too.

Okay, update on the Honda, apparently looks can be deceiving. Saw a vid where the guy had two full face helmets under the seat, so under seat storage isn't as bad as I originally thought. Still wish it came in more than just red in the states. I saw a black one on youtube that was beautiful.
