jesus...good thing I wear my waders when i read these posts!! some real tall tales...hehehe. PCX in structure has a better suspension. i.e. longer shocks, better travel. I am 210 lbs and my pcx was a nimbler more controllable ride. lighter bike, more springier etc...my forza at 422 lbs (vs 248 for the pcx) is a f*&king tank to say the least. 174 lbs difference. additionally, the mounts are straight up and down...straight up, Honda botched the forza suspension. rear shocks get slammed in large depressions in the road. 422 plus my 210...632 pounds!!! also the rear shocks are shorter..so what does that mean? less adjust-ability and stiff!! Frankly the PCX 150 is a much better scooter...well actually it is a scooter.. the forza is something else. I have had the Forza up to 80 relatively easy. I have cruised at 75 mph without an issue. except speeding tickets... I can go up hills (not in a head wind at 75) but I can go up hills on average 10 to 15 mph faster than i did on my pcx....that is why i bought the forza. much faster and still has the cvs clutch system that I have grown to like. being that the forza is 279cc the mileage is doable but don't listen to these goofs that tell you 78 to 80 mpg...they must work for honda or something. you'll get 60 at most IF you drive conservative... I ran mine out of gas and got 56 mpg...driving up hills and driving fast... a lot of tall tales in the forza forum...I hope we get some honest posters eventually
