The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hi all need some advice or recommendations do I go for the Honda PCX 2016 or the Honda Forza 300 2016 version I am buying another bike and trying to upgrade a little but I know you guys ride all sorts of bikes and would like your opinions

What will you be using the bike for?

Commute amd travel really and lots of fun at the weekends like i do with my current PCX plus i need the cc for motorway travel in the UK so I can go to the beach quicker

Sounds like the Forza then?

Have you considered non pcx alternatives to the Forza?

The yamaha xmax 250 was a choice but im sat here saying to my self my PCX never let me down ever! Im torn so a Forza with it being made by Honda could be an easy pill to swallow.

Honley Venturer 250, currently on sale for £2600ish is a total bargain if you like that kind of thing.

I've been wondering what you've been up to since your decals peeled off in the sun.
Why get the same thing twice? Live a little. If you can go bigger cc, why not?
What are all the bikes and scoots you like aside from the three you mentioned?

I need the upgrade in cc thats for sure, but I dont want to change the style of bike too much as I kinda love my PCX a bit much! Lol I was looking at the yamaha but the Forza is the front runner Honda has never let me down and the reviews rave! Ill be buying it New too even though ive spotted a second hand 16 plate with 152 on the clock

First thing to do is visit a showroom with a Forza in stock and have a sit on it.
The seating position is very different to the PCX and there's less knee room.
Another option worth trying for size is the Kymco Downtown.
Its £700 cheaper than a Forza, has a 20% more powerful engine and is far easier to service.
Or for just £2300 you can have my Forza, one owner, 31,000 miles..... tempted....?

I knew GN2 would be on this...

Lol love it! Hard sell;) im going with a new one as insurance is paying from the woman who hit me in febuary warranty will cover any first hiccups and problems but I will be following the try before I buy idea im 6'4" so leg room is a must just booked a test ride on the one I found online

for motorway i wouldnt take my pcx. its 2 months old and 750 miles on it.
i didnt want the forza as its wider for the commute and its mirror position isnt ideal of filtering and it felt slower up to 30 mph. for the motorway it will be better though as its designed to perform better at this speed.
The pcx 2016 is giving me 240 miles for 7 ltrs at 40mph.

the forza has better suspension too

Maybe felt it but it absolutely isn't.
The Forza accelerates harder and is much faster.

I agree with this. There's a Forza 125 I regularly encounter on my commute and my PCX 125 can't live with it when setting off from the lights. Both bikes are 2015 models.

Im off to test ride one Saturday this week will keep you guys informed! As for start off my pcx left a Forza 16 plate standing the other day I thought it would rinse me to be honest! I left a Mercedes standing today too gave me shit for two miles then stopped at some lights reving like some sort of race I lft on yellow and left it to over take me hahahahaha
