The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Motociclista has a test of the new Forza this week. Looks much better than the 300

Also on Scooter Station.
Looks pretty, but its still just a 125.
Make it a 200 and it might be more interesting.

Yes but it's clearly less rubbish than the 300. At least honda are learning from their mistakes

Hmm, not convinced.
A 125 just isn't fast enough.

They just need to put that front end on the 300... NOW!

Good Looking all the way around, especially in this 2tone paint. What say you on the seat, do you think it will be comfortable? Would like it here in the U.S. as a 200-250, that would be sweet

Why would they create a Forza 125? That doesn't make any sense to me when there's already a PCX 125/150.

But I do love those colors!

Its created for the euro market and will probably be a big seller.
Top end luxury spec, bigger and more powerful than a PCX.
Its the replacement for the outgoing S-wing 125 and Honda will be hoping to take market share away from the Yamaha Xmax.

Yep, you're right again. Tis a shame that the demand for motor bikes/scoots is puny in the U.S.
I sure would like to see a Forza 250 looking like that! and right about now. But...
I will not hold my breath....I'll just

Forza 250 with a digital speedometer and an alarm and tracking system as well.

Just wondering why you think the 300 is rubbish!?

The market for 125cc scooters in Europe and the UK is quite a big one, thanks to requiring much less training to get on one. In the UK it's a one day CBT course (if you're 17+) and similar in France I believe. A 200cc scooter would not be much quicker than the 125cc yet would put it into the requirements of holding a full bike licence here.

An increase to 200cc means the difference between being able to overtake trucks and being overtaken by trucks.
And that is a big difference.

To be fair-my PCX seems to overtake trucks OK on A-Roads, both single & dual carriageway. It struggles a bit if there's a headwind. but otherwise a well judged overtake is more than possible.

Wait till its done a few thousand miles.
Belt wear robs you of up to 10% of your top speed.
When that happens head over to fantasy island (the "Performance" section) and buy some snake oil.
