The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just announced:

Perfect! by the time the bugs are worked out I will be ready to trade up.

If the Forza 125 is a replacement for the S-Wing, does this mean we can expect a Forza 600/650 to replace the Silver Wing? Both the S-Wing and Silver Wing look a bit 'old'.

A Forza 650 three wheeler would be nice.

Is the adjustable wind-screen a new feature above older models? Does it come with working fuel pumps?
Joking aside, quite nice but I like the PCX for being narrower for filtering in the city.

I like the looks. Hopefully Honda will make a 400cc and/or 600cc version of it.

Is it big... big like the one I see you guys riding now? I was thinking it would be small dimensions. It's no good if its less cc and still boat.

I'd guess the dimensions will be similar to a PCX or S-Wing 125.

Reading between the lines of the rehashed press release on Visordown, its an S-wing replacement.
The S-wing weighs in at 156kg so this new beastie should be a lot less than the Forza 300.
The only thing the Forza 125 and 300 seem to share is the name.

Be good to have ABS - not sure if they will add them to any 2016/7 PCX, but perhaps this is the way to go for that, or SHi125 if Honda do not drop it. The 14 bhp comes in just under the 14.6 bhp allowed for a CBT, which is nice.

so can I out run it on my 150 or not?

Front fairing is taking on the "new transformer look" like the Nm4. I like it (so far) the two tone paint, adjustable screen and flashing mirrors are nice. But why only 125, why not 200?

I keep reading about 55mph rolling acceleration. What is that supposed to mean?

maximum terminal velocity if you roll off a hill and forget to throttle up the CVI... its a new safety feature

a joke, not serious... I really have no idea

Whew! Thought I was gonna have to invest in flux capacitor if that was the case.

If this 125 is what they are saying it is and will cruise at 70mph (unknown, and haven't seen that figure anywhere), I will sell my PCX and buy one. Maybe.

Reason its a 125 and not a 200 is licence categories in the EU.

It probably means it will go 55 on a flat surface. Can't see it going much faster than that, and with the hills around here it definitely wouldn't be highway capable, especially with the way people drive around here. But probably won't be available in the USA anyway.

It will exceed 70 on the flat, same as the Yamaha Xmax does.

Soooo....why are they competing against themselves?? The PCX 125 has already been completely rebuilt for 2014/2015. Now they are introducing a Forza 125? I am a bit confused about why they are doing this.

I thought the same thing. There must be a large enough price jump is all I could imagine.

The PCX is a small low spec budget machine with space for one helmet under the seat.
This new machine is a luxury high spec GT job with space for two helmets under the seat.
Its a replacement for the S-wing.
PCX costs £2600ish here the Forza 125 will be £4000ish
The Forza is competing with the likes of the Yamaha Xmax.
Just to give you some idea about 125s in Europe, Honda currently market two 110cc scooters, four 125cc scooters and three 125cc motorbikes in the UK.
