The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just waiting for the official news to get more info.

Where are these pictures coming from?

The rear shock springs look very thin.

Are the mirror turn signals legal in Canada? USA?

Looks like LED's finally.

Still made in Thailand? Looks like a European spec scooter.

I suspect it is going to be very expensive.

My Blood Pressure just shot up! Is this for real?
Interested!! Excited!! This one just might make it to the U.S.A.(?)

Keep talking please.....

Sweet!

Same Forza, but with nice updates. Love the windshield, for one thing.

But would anyone buy this Forza in the US if it were offered here? Suzuki offers that nice new Burgman 400, a very similar scooter, and they don't seem to be flying off the showroom floors.

I would buy one, though, if I didn't already have my 2014. So there's one buyer, sort of.

First of all, thankyou for the photos.
Not a fan...looks like a Kymco...which looks like every other new era maxi scooter - now that we've lost the flowing lines of the Yamaha Majesty and the orig. FORZA.
All of these new starwar toy scooter designs show little original thinking .....and all look to be assembled from broken Lego shards.
IS it really a Kymco?
Badged a HONDA, so it should be an OK product.

I agree ..all looking like transformers.. Nice dash but not overly impressive to me. Have to see it in person however.

The guys from the different 'Styling' departments all smoke the same dope, apparently.

I also hate post-modern, crashed spacecraft crap...but wait !...this one has a NICE back end !! AND
a fantastic electric windshield !! AND that smart key !!

So okay, once my good-enough prehistoric one has expired...maybe. Looks like this won't happen
soon...

I think the 1st gen Forza 300 looks better- cleaner and more flowing design. This as someone else said is like a Kymco- the new Kymco Xtown 300 to be exact.

Nice...I guess. But it does look like the rest of the new scooters and I'm getting tired of the "up swept" styling. I'd like to see a Maxi Lambretta! And it looks like there's little room to stretch your legs out if you want to. Hopefully there's improvement in weight (lower) and ride (softer) over my 2014 Forza.

Styling wise it looks very much like the current Forza 125.

Very similar looks to the NSS 125 forza. I kinda like it, but YMMV.

In this video Honda Italy's marketing comms manager says that the 125 Forza is very successful in mainly Italy and France (30.000 units sold since the launch) therefore the dealers and customers asked a new model from the 300 also. As the existing engine is not able to perform better than the current EUR3 (or it is already EUR3 and they wanted an EUR4 I'm not sure, My Italian is not that good) so they took the opportunity to design a whole new scooter. Apart from the engine specs, it has a new variator, wheel sizes went up from 14/13 to 15/14 (just as the 125 version). They claim that the max power is the same as before, but the torque is arriving earlier - which helps to lower fuel consumption. The new scooter is lighter by 12 kg than the previous which apparently helps acceleration too. Other new developments are the front facing radiator (instead of the side draft earlier), the full led headlight and the electrically adjustable windscreen. Price is not confirmed yet, but it is said to be competitive with similar models.

Liking her wheels !

Yes, it looks like the 125 on steroids with stylistic clues taken from X-ADV. 125 looks better in my opinion

Apparently it is NOT coming to the United States.
Traction control and standatd ABS pushes prices too high for American sales.....kept the same Forza engine from 2016.
Maybe we'll get a SilverWing?

The springs look awfully small in the pictures.

Well, I am not a fan of the angular Transformer styling. I don't like those types of handlebars either. Maybe make it s true 300cc for a bit more grunt. The key-less ignition is great. The storage looks better. I hope they have re-calibrated the springs and shocks. I hope the electric windscreen actually goes high enough to matter. Dash is great. I think I'll have to see one in the flesh to see how good it looks and feels. Traction control??? LOL. ABS is great but my Forza can't to burn outs.

My Forza 300 can do "Burn outs"

We have a lot of winter sand on the road. I have spun the rear tire and slid sideways.

The dirt biker in me says cool but the scooter rider says slow down.

It is warm enough to ride today. I want a sleeping bag for the Yukon trip later this summer. I need another rear tire.

My first thought too.

I like the way it looks.

I might buy one.
