What on earth are Honda playing at? We have an overweight Integra with zero storage (hardly a scooter then), a pretty darn perfect Dio, PCX and Forza 300 range and now this... a 125 cc Forza that looks nothing like a Forza or PCX and neither has the storage and grunt of the 300 nor the looks and extra oomph of the 150.
I have no idea who this is marketed at. Certainly not me
I assume its a replacement for the "European" Honda SWing 125 cc scooter as that European model seems to be being fazed out...never available in some Countries. That was/is a really marvelous scooter and difficult to replace.I graded up from the SWing to the Forza last year as I wanted a bigger engine....but on the SWing I toured comfortably all over Scotland and Ireland..The under seat SWing storage is way better than the Forza300..
The 125 cc maximum engine capacity is very important in the UK ( and I think in other EU countries) as you can ride on a provisional driving license ( with "L" plates up) with up to 125cc.....as over that you need to have passed various driving tests etc.
So this is an important market for the manufacturers to be in ( certainly in Europe) ... also the Forza 125CC pricing suggests that Honda see this as being at the more luxurious end of the scooter market than the Pcx. I think this will be an important scooter for Honda at least in the European market in cities like Paris and Rome etc.
I have not seen one but cannot think that storage will be noticeably different than on the Forza300.
Horses for courses...

I like it! Snazzy headlights. Good Looking. Nice features. Make it a 200 or 250, bring it to the U.S. and I'm in.

I guess it makes more sense in Europe with the cc limits and sailing between cars . After now riding the PCX, Forza 300, and a Silver Wing I don't want any less weight than the Forza in the wind on highways unless I am staying on the slower roads. That new 125 with the higher HP should go pretty fast.
