The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Darth,

Congrats on your new Forza.

Did you test ride it?

Looking forward to your ride reports.

No immobiliser on US spec Forzas!

Yes it is a chip on the key.

blackcat54, do you think they'd let you test ride the Forza? Any idea of the out-the-door price? NewToRiding, that would be Suffolk. Did you also speak to the same salesman? Drew? Nobody I asked in the NYC/LI area offers test rides. I did speak with Drew. Nassau County. I have no idea about price.

Don't laugh! There is a branch of science called electro-gravitics which deals with negating gravitational effects. it is classified and deeply buried deep within "black" programs.

I visited the Hicksville store, Champion Honda to see the Forza. They had a PCX and Forza side by side. Spent over an hour shooting the breeze about scooters and bikes with a salesmen named Drew Oprea. I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam. The PCX was way too small (toy like), the Forza felt just r...

US Forza has integrated turn signals, front and back.

trigg,

Don't worry about being unfair.

Report all your thoughts, and feelings about your new ride. We know your previous bikes were different, however they form the basis of your comparative experience.

So fire away at those keys and give us details!

Photos are upside down!

Now for some comparisons, impressions and ride reports.

Oh yeah.......congrats on your new steed.

The last Forza news release on the Honda site was on 2007 for a 248 cc engine. The new to the US Forza sports a 279cc engine. So, between 2007 and 2013 a new updated Forza was introduced. According to this: http://www.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=7199-en, May 2013 looks like the start of t...

When did production on the new 300 Forza begin?

Come on now...stop teasing!

I noticed that the Japanese video expands on a great deal of technical detail. On the other hand the English version is sanitized where most of the juicy tech details are removed.

Short video highlighting some technical details of the Forza in Japanese. Translate anyone?

I think your Forza looks better with the tall screen. The taller screen balances out the front end from a visual perspective. I hope the Forza becomes a wild success and causes Suzuki much pain. What happens if you cruse at 70mph with regards to the sweet spot? Does the bike become unsettled or har...

I do recall a similar expression was used to describe the feeling of a Forza in motion.

Although the Forza might seem big to you, the mass ( engine, transmission, & gas tank) is centralized low on the bike. I think that once moving, the Forza will feel comfortable to you. Report back to this thread your experiences test riding both the PCX 150 & Forza.

Is the mpg meter accurate?

Have you cross checked it with your own measurements?

Will let you know about the taller screen. Great Post.....!!!........I've been trying to get time to post a Ride Report since I added the Honda Tall Windshield, and Top Case....."coming soon", but it's "ALL GOOD"..... ;) 8) Some photos of that bad boy with the taller screen and ...
