Badrabbit Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm sure I read or saw on the TV that Honda have brought out a new Forza 300, anyone seen this? if anyone knows if this is true what's different about the new model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Honda brought out a new model Forza, but it is only a 125. I have been waiting to see if they bring a new 300 as well. There is a video of the Forza 125 on Youtube. Also, see here http://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/range/scooter/forza-125-2015/overview.html Edited August 19, 2015 by phetphet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickymaster Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I like it. Looks a bit taller (seat height)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Haven't seen the Forza 125 anywhere in Thailand yet. In Europe it goes for nearly 200k THB which is a tough sell for a 125cc scooter. The Forza 300 though goes for 160k here so a 125 would be maybe 100k - 120k? Don't see them selling many here and that's maybe why they are bringing it to the thai market. But from what I read about it, it's a really really good scooter. Large storage, dual disk breaks, huge tank, nice finish and handling... Regarding the 300: haven't seen any special 2015 model. Don't like the 300 really. Feels like a big tanker and wind from the side can upset it quite easily. Plus my legs get uncomfortable after a while and I'm not sure why. Maybe because they are at a weird angle. Shorter riders probably wont have this issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 The 125cc looks really good and would suit my needs, as for the 300 the seat is a problem being tall but a great bike, I will have a drive to my big Honda and see when it is coming and how much!

Badrabbit Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Saw this 125cc advertised on Thai TV so defo coming or maybe here already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yes lets hope the 125 is coming here, it should be very economical on fuel. I don't think big wing Honda will sell them, but scooter shops. The price will be the deciding factor for me if replacing it with my PCX150 from 2012. I had a sit on a 2nd hand Forza 300 and I didn't really fell comfortable on it, but never rode one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 300 is a great bike but the seat is a big problem for many, hopefully I will find out from Honda shop today, I'm sure I will be met with the much used comment "no have"I read somewhere that the price would be around 125k mark!

guzzi850m2 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 That is too much for a 125cc scooter, I pass. It's not made here I think? I don't think they will be selling many if the 125k baht is true so they will ending up taking it off the market like they did on the SH150 and the 2 front wheeler TriCity. How much is a new PCX150? Under 90k baht I think, so that is app 35k baht difference or 1000US$, naaa too much man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the price at all it's just something I read somewhere, new PCX is 79k some shops 81k so a big difference, if 120k is true then for another 40 k you can get the 300 which is a great bike but "that seat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Visited my local big Honda shop. As suspected the staff know nothing!! all she kept saying was " Forza 300, we have Forza 300" Waste of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badrabbit Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Saw a YouTube video where the poster says "bike in UK is approx 4000 pounds" if the bike is imported here it will be a very hefty price, can't see it coming unless made in Thailand, such a shame it looks a great bike!

spidermike007 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Am I the only one who finds the Forza to be one of the ugliest bikes ever built by Honda? I wanted to buy one, but I cannot get past the homely appearance. How could a company like Honda miss the mark so badly on designing this bike?

Badrabbit Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't think it's ugly but how can they design a bike with such an awful seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakeopete Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 My PCX seat wasn't comfortable but it was cheap and easy to get customized. Can't the same thing be done to the Forza 300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't the same thing be done to the Forza 300?Not easy to modify the Forza seat because of that big collar, tall riders need that moved back to give more room but it can only be moved back an inch or so, it needs an aftermarket seat but I'm sure there are none available, there are many aftermarket seats available for the PCX!

lexilis Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The riding position is uncomfortable for me. Also the wheelbase is very long (61 inches vs 54 for the CBR300) making the bike very awkward to maneuver at slow speeds. Difficult to weave through stopped traffic etc. Yeah, and they are ugly too.

A custom seat can be made for a few hundred baht in any of the small Thai shops... I had one made for my versys and a couple of other bikes, made in stages so you get to sit on it and test it so it can be made higher or lower, wider, softer, harder etc depending on what you prefer, then you can choose your texture and colour of leather and also the colour you want the stitching, all that never cost me more than 550.... Don't bother with going to the manufacturer for a different seat when custom is so cheap When I had the forza I used to sit behind the bump in the seat and ride it like I was sitting in an arm chair but I'm tall so this was comfortable for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
