The engine in the current SH300 is a development of the Forza 300 engine which was a significant change from the original SH300 engine and introduced the offset cylinder.
Interesting to know where the engines for the new Forza 300 will be made, will it continue as a Thai built model or will it be produced alongside the 125 in Europe?

I would still counsel against buying the new model Forza 300 for at least 18 months.
One of the problems with the Forza 125 related to the wiring loom with scooters having to get major strip downs to replace wiring.

With all the new electronics and gadgetry on the new Forza 300 I reckon there will have to be a new loom.
New parts can mean new problems, will the new electrics and other new parts be OK...?
Who knows, best to let others find out ;)

Just don't hold your breath waiting. Canada is down to just a 49cc Ruckus and a PCX150 on their web page. Both are 2018, nothing for 2019 yet.

A Forza for a PCX price. Expect the price to climb some with the bits of fees and add-ons, but still quite the deal. Definitely give it a look, or at least a sit-on.
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!
