They are different. Never seen one over here.

They look as if they are about to "transform"

The first Forza showed up in my dealer's shop yesterday.
They took it off the pallet and it sold before they had time to remove the packing tape.
Go, Honda Thailand!

I hear ya skuuter ;) Yep, when they do enter my dealership they'll probably exit the very next day (or 2). Like I've mentioned before, the PCX made me wait, and so will Papa PCX. :| If I wait long enough the Color may change :D

We went on a long ride to the mountains yesterday. 2 Burgmans and a PCX 150. Over 225 miles and the little PCX kept up even when we went on the freeway to get there. We stopped at a motorcycle shop up in the mountains that also was a meet and greet for motorcycle and scooter riders. There were Can Ams and even bikes with sidecars. Of all the bikes and scooters up there ours was the only pcx. We had inquiries about our PCX because it just doesn't look like a 'scooter'.Also, it kept up with the big boys in the switchbacks and hairpins. I followed my wife on my Burgman and she was having a ball! So, the Forza is probably going to be a great bike, but I think we will keep our PCX. It is just plain FUN!:-)

Yep, you get a choice of: red or nothing here in the US. The white is sharp looking (coming from a guy who has a red PCX).

"So long as you don't want to ride the wrong way (feet forward) it'll probably be fine."

I realize this is equally as bad, but I have to say it, it is funny a "ricky rent a cop" constable feels he's the vioice of infinite knowledge and wisdom as what he thinks is the way things absolutely are. lol. Give me a break. If all else fails in your life, going to school for 2 yrs instantly makes you almost over qualified to become a constable. I apologize to the forum if my statement is too much, but It's absolutely ridiculous the high horse this jacka** is on with almost every statement he makes.

Saw a Forza at the dealership when I went to pick up my license plate for the PCX last week. Mixed feelings on the larger scooter. On one hand, I wish it were in the showroom when I purchased the PCX a few weeks ago so I'd have another option to consider. On the other hand, the PCX does everything I need it to do, and I wasn't tempted to spend a couple thousand dollars more!

Best,
Bash On!

P.S. The new Grom had also arrived. Fun-looking bike but the first two in were already sold to dealership employees.
2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]

Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

"Right Now", we have no plans to sell the PCX150s when Our Forzas arrive....."but".....those kinds of plans have been known to change in the past after we acquire Other Rides. We discussed possibly selling one of the PCX150s last night..... ;)

According to the local website, our biggest dealer has both models -- in red (although, that may be for orders). I'm going to go down in the next week or so and check it out. I was showing my wife the pix and that the price was about a grand less than I expected. Her comment was, too bad we can't have one. So, I guess I know the answer to that question. :) I told her when they came out in black, we would rejoin that conversation. I really don't want the red one.
