10% down payment and loan for 5 yrs
Between these two awesome machines, which would you choose?

I choose a Forza as I loved the ride feel and being ex employee of BSH.
But looking at the TL 500,.. you get more from roughly the same price

Also, the loan for TL 500 will be cheaper at 5% pa (being 250cc and above) vs Forza at 9% (estimate )

For the money, I take Sym

TL500 but it's phased out for AK550 so you'll see more used one for sale
Forza wait is quite a few months at some places, but not surprising to get ready stock

the Sym runs a chain and better hardware all over

Forza is more frugal on fuel and Honda engine... that's all

Get a Forza...

TL500 was slower out of the showroom and had a QC issue with the MForce assembly quality.

TL is not what you expect from 2 Cylinder 465cc scooter power, but the handling is Motorcycle-like, good in tackling corners and stable.

And the maintenance will be much more expensive than the Forza for 5 years Forza is better to own in the long run.

But if you insist on getting the TL, then I am selling the Power up package for that biggrin.gif

Forza! Because I won't touch anything from M-Force.

News has been circulating that Kymco AK550 is coming, which will be distributed by Modenas. Having experienced Modenas service quality with Modenas Elegan 250EX (a rebadged of Kymco X-Town 250), I think AK550 should be considered by many.

The Kymco AK550 was said will reach Malaysian market ever since Modenas launched the Elegan 250 and the Downtown 250. Wonder how much its actual selling price will be

guess the AK550 will be priced at 48k to 55k to compete with Tmax

Looking at how much the Kawasaki are priced under Modenas, I hope AK550 will be much cheaper, perhaps around the introductory price of SYM TL500
