Probably seen already here, but first time I've seen this video:

Excellent video. I have tested the Forza at high speed (above 85) and I have not experienced the buzzing he mentions at high rpm like I have felt on some motorcycles. Anyone else notice that? I guess I will listen for it the next time.

Thanks for the link to this video. Yet one more review that makes me want a Forza.
I think by "buzzing" he was making reference to the RPMs of the engine, in other words it revving high.
I wish I knew how tall the guy riding the Forza is. It looked like it fit him well with plenty of room for his legs. Some reviews have said that they wish it had better leg room.

Yes, it seems like most scooter reviewers are mid 5 feet riders. Little dudes in my world.
I'm 6'3" and I fit the Forza just fine....it is a comfy seat - and after a very short time I'm just riding and forgetting about everything else!
Do I wish for more room on every scooter I sit that has a back rest in the middle of the
..? Sure....
But this Forza is a blast to ride.

I'm with Fish on this one I'm 6'1" and can ride this bike all day long and be very comfortable. I did also think the video brought out how sporty the Forza design is. Haven't been on a vespa but I have been on some serious twisty on the Forza and been impressed with its ease of handling.

Same here. No need for a seat replacement on the Forza like I did on my PCX and I am only 5'11". They Kymco Downtown is another story. It was not a comfortable position for my height but I suspect can be fixed with a different seat. I had the Downtown on the highway and it is fast and smooth as they suggest on the video. Also, if you noticed here the US ABS is still a bit rare and only one of the scoots had it.
