PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
found one two hours from where i live and had to go get it only rode it about 5 miles so far .
it is nimble and very nice ! not loud at all and handles great , takes off a bit slower then the pcx150 but not by much .
ride quality is a bit better then the pcx due to the weight but it is still rough on some bumps , it has not lost that scooter feel .
i am surprised how well balanced it is and will corner like the 150 and is very comparable to it overall just more power and weight .
here are some pics

Different screen too, the one I've seen isn't clear like that one.

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
Looks good. It will be interesting to hear the difference in real use highway speeds after you have a chance to wring out the Forza.
Congrats on the new scoot!

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
The Forza is significantly better on faster roads than the PCX 125 imo.

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
Nice....if only Honda bring Forza here.....perhaps they should reduce to 250cc in my country to avoid higher tax.
Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
I prefer the darker candy apple red of the PCX. Wish the Forza was available in white here. It looks real sweet in white.gn2 wrote:Its a very different red from the PCX.

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
not zippy at takeoff like the pcx? I bet its great at 55+ mph huh? my pcx150 is roaring like a tired fat dog at 55+ lol i want a forza bad
Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
Nope, its faster off the line than the PCX.happyscooter wrote:not zippy at takeoff like the pcx?
Better power to weight ratio and better torque to weight ratio.
Even two up a Forza should be able to see off a PCX.

Congratulations, Switta, it looks great!
That shade of red looks like the red offered on the Honda CBR500R. Very Italian!

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
it just the snap right at take off like in the first 5 or 10 feet after that the forza flies !!!! friend that rides with me on a 1100 kaw is all over the pipe loud as heck to keep up with me
I'm sure it's just due to the clutching of the larger machine and weight , the pcx feels like it will almost lift the front wheel from a dead stop but not the forza .
have almost 150 miles and so far very happy with it ! had the thought of keeping the pcx at first but now i really think i will be selling it ? the forza is the perfect fit for around town and highway use .
only complaints are stiff rear shocks and rock hard seat .

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
I've had my Forza300 up to 87 MPH...cruised it on the Interstate for 20 miles between 80 and 85 MPH.....waaaaay faster than the PCX150...like comparing "apples-n-oranges".....CaptnJim wrote:Looks good.

.....and in a drag race with the PCX150, the Forza leaps to the front and stays there while quickly continuing to pull away at a brisk rate.....again, "apples-n-oranges".....

Re: PCX got a Big Brother Forza Today
I like the front headlights a bit more too. It's a little bit more aggressive and sportbike like. I love it.
