Ah yes, Forza 125 is 10.5kw and £4399, not that good a deal when the 300 is only £300 more.
But if you are riding on the plates of shame with a CBT rather than a proper licence, the Forza 125 is perhaps the best there is.

I was referring to the 125cc.gn2 wrote:RedBaron wrote:almost £2000 more for a couple of extra Horse Power wasn't worth it.
Its around double the horsepower and is the difference between being capable of keeping up with traffic on 70mph roads and being a mobile roadblock for trucks.
Plus the Forza has much better storage and comfort.
If all you need is a city runabout the PCX will do the job just fine, but if you will regularly use 70mph roads the PCX just isn't enough.

Yes it is the "best" you can get on L plates but still not worth the extra £££ (IMO) unless you are regulary riding dual carriageways etc.gn2 wrote:Ah yes, Forza 125 is 10.5kw and £4399, not that good a deal when the 300 is only £300 more.

For London and inner city roads seems too large & heavy and costly. You'd may as well use the extra £ to do DAS either manual or automatic and get a maxi scooter or even a DCT bike.
I wish Honda would bring DCT back to A2 class bikes instead of concentrating on A class. 300/500cc seem the sweet spot at the moment and for commuting and city life without constantly feathering a clutch would be a major selling point.
Re: Can't Wait....
DCT is too complex and costly for smaller bikes.
For example the CB500F is £5100.
DCT would up that by around £600 making it too expensive to compete in the marketplace imo.

You could always get a Tricity or MP3 and bypass the licencing system all together.
