bought my forza back in September and not used it since October mostly due to to bad weather. i use my innova in the winter or if weather really bad i use my car.
is it OK to just leave the forza stand without starting it or riding it for a long time? i probably wont use it again till April 2019.

Re: winter storage
It sounds to me if you are riding a "Wave" series Honda (Innova) you live in Europe. . .. 
Basically put some fuel additive like "Startron" in the gas.
Make sure the oil looks good and you keep a history of when you either service it yourself or have a dealer mechanic service it to the recommended maintenance schedule found in your owner's manual.
Riding it year 'round. . .although less perhaps in the Winter. . . helps keep things fluid and helps avoid battery problems and fuel problems. If you do ride in colder weather though you need to ride it long enough to get the condensation out of the crankcase or you will pull water in from the air and cause corrosion problems in the engine.
It's not that complicated. If you have a trickle charger for the battery it's good to hook that up once in a while if you can't get to ride it often enough.
Note however that sometimes mice will find a way to make a nice home in a stored motorcycle or scooter. Just something to be aware of.
