so,

got a PCX (u.k. 125) and I flipping love it

if I get a forza 300 instead will I regret it?

or is it just another stepping stone to that 2300cc super charged thing that is going to kill me?

How old are you? I'm old so I downsized to a PCX. Might upsize a bit to a Burgman in a couple seasons, but that would be it. I'd like to be able to do SOME highway in my area and 80 mph is the going rate.
If you're young and haven't had a powerful gear-bike, by all means get one and enjoy it.

Well...It's impossible for me to say whether another person will or will not enjoy any particular vehicle. If you want to see if you would like the Forza, find a way to test ride one or even if you can rent one. Only you can determine whether a bike or scooter will fit your own unique tastes.

As much as it's anecdotal and the above statement taken into account, for myself, I found the Forza too big for my own tastes. I love small bikes/scooters. The agility of the PCX combined with the touring scooter stability and the pep of the fuel injected engine is what appealed to me. The Forza is faster, but it's just too big and too heavy. Again, taste is subjective.

What sort of riding do you primarily to, urban or countryside or larger roads. If it is urban, stick with the PCX. If it is countryside or larger roads, the Forza 300 might be the answer.
