PCX to forza
Evening all, had to rejoin as couldn't remember my password! Anyway after 4 months and 2200 miles on my new PCX 125 I decided to upgrade to a new forza due to the time I was spending on two wheels. 2 days and 100 miles later and so far its simply amazing ! And I've had 14 motor bikes and 3 scooters over the last 20 years so I've had a few rides from 125 to 1200cc, thinking this could turn out to be the best of them all!
Re: PCX to forza
I have both and love them for different purposes. The PCX 150 is my camping bike hauled on a bumper Rage steel carrier and short hops around the area. The Forza for scenic touring or extended rides including highways. I need them both.

Rosey,
Feel free to elaborate on your Forza impressions as it compares to the list of other bikes you have spent time with.

Re: PCX to forza
Interested to see what you think about the Forza. I am seriously wanting one.
Re: PCX to forza
Well I commute about 35 miles a day in some heavy traffic and some open A roads. Taking into account I'm in England at its the middle of the winter its not the best time to judge the scoot, plus the fact I'm keeping her at around 5000 revs to break her in. But even with all that I have to say I'm very impressed, I loved the PCX but had to work it had on the Forza its not an issue,smooth power all the way! I have the full touring kit fitted, high screen,colour coded back box and heated grips. I'll report more as the weeks go by and an some PIC. Stay safe people.

Re: PCX to forza
I had a test ride on a Forza today! so much more comfy than the PCX not to mention the increase in power and the feeling of stability, yes I very much likey! I did notice something rattling somewhere at low speeds though 

Re: PCX to forza
It looks fantastic except for the front, it might be the wing mirror/indicators but the front makes me think if Jar jar Binks!scottyb wrote:Have any of you guys seen the new Forza 125 due out later this year,

Likely to be either the toolkit or numberplate.Scottish wrote:I did notice something rattling somewhere at low speeds though
Cured mine by removing the toolkit and sticking the numberplate down with heavy duty double sided tape.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: PCX to forza
Bought a PCX150 last year after having a Rebel for 2 years and never riding. Love it! Thinking about a Forza. Just want a little more "something". Mostly commuting and some errand rides. Want to ride more this year! Like reading about others experiences. This is my first two-wheel adventures. Well, except for all those Schwinns!
