found one two hours from where i live and had to go get it only rode it about 5 miles so far .
it is nimble and very nice ! not loud at all and handles great , takes off a bit slower then the pcx150 but not by much .
ride quality is a bit better then the pcx due to the weight but it is still rough on some bumps , it has not lost that scooter feel .
i am surprised how well balanced it is and will corner like the 150 and is very comparable to it overall just more power and weight .
here are some pics

Nope, its faster off the line than the PCX.
Better power to weight ratio and better torque to weight ratio.
Even two up a Forza should be able to see off a PCX.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

it just the snap right at take off like in the first 5 or 10 feet after that the forza flies !!!! friend that rides with me on a 1100 kaw is all over the pipe loud as heck to keep up with me
I'm sure it's just due to the clutching of the larger machine and weight , the pcx feels like it will almost lift the front wheel from a dead stop but not the forza .
have almost 150 miles and so far very happy with it ! had the thought of keeping the pcx at first but now i really think i will be selling it ? the forza is the perfect fit for around town and highway use .
only complaints are stiff rear shocks and rock hard seat .

Congrats on the new scoot!

I've had my Forza300 up to 87 MPH...cruised it on the Interstate for 20 miles between 80 and 85 MPH.....waaaaay faster than the PCX150...like comparing "apples-n-oranges".....
.....and in a drag race with the PCX150, the Forza leaps to the front and stays there while quickly continuing to pull away at a brisk rate.....again, "apples-n-oranges".....
