If you want to sell to people then know your stuff. We were able to find one dealer recently who said that he expects one some time in October. I guess we will be checking back with them.

If it's anything like the Dealerships around here, Ya'll better be there on arrival day....None have stayed at any of the Dealers here in a 50 mile radius for even a full day.....most were sold before being broken out of the Crate.....

C'mon up. He'll sell you the other one.

skuuter wrote:OK, one of Our Forza's came in, other one will be in within the next two weeks. My Dealer called and asked if I wanted to do a quick "Lunchtime Shootout" between it and my PCX150...I said sure, so I quickly unloaded my "normal ballast" of compressor, tools, etc. and headed over on the PCX150. I rode the Forza300 and my Dealer rode the PCX150 on the way out on the "Test Loop", then switched for the ride back. I may "dispute" some Member Reports here in a few comparisons, such as the "Forza takes off slower than the PCX150"...not so, but, anyway here we go.......

Our Results were the same, no matter who was riding what.....

DRAG RACE.....Forza all the way...start to finish

BRAKING.....60 mph to zero...Forza won by 21 feet shorter distance with me on it, 16 feet with my Dealer on it

HANDLING.....Much quicker into, and out of corners, and I'm even used to the PCX

RIDE.....Much less "wallow" than the PCX...holds a line through a corner comparable to a really good handling Sport Bike

COMFORT.....Much better on the Forza, wide, firm seat, and very supportive backrest

Honda definitely has a Winner on it's hands with this one.....Fantastic handling, more stability at speed than a Silver Wing, great braking (Large discs front and rear), firm suspension, comfy seat, full instrumentation (clock, tach, trip, etc.), 3 gallon gas tank, integral turn signals, large rear passenger grab rail, engine, swingarm, battery are all carried super low in relation to the axle centerlines, wide, sticky tires...the List goes on and on...there is even a "pop-off" panel to install the rear Trunk brackets.....

"In my opinion", this is hands down, Honda's finest Scooter to date, whether stacked up against a Metro, Silver Wing, and Everything in between. It does it all with Great Looks and Storage. You also have more of a "sit-down-in-it" feel than the "scooter-familiar-perched-on-top-of-it" feel...the center of gravity definitely feels much better than the PCX producing almost "gyro-feel" cornering (engine, 3 gallon gas tank, and battery location all help, coupled with the large, firm shocks and forks)...did it make me dislike my PCX150, "no", but it relegates it to the "Number 2 Slot" for sure. This thing is waaaay more than enough Scooter for cross-country Touring Trips, yet mild handling enough for urban commuting...Honda didn't just touch all the bases with the Forza, They knocked it out of the park in every category....THANKS Honda.....!!!!!!!!!.....

Sounds like a better scooter. Is it more expensive?

Congratulations Darth Emma! From what's been read/said here, it's a Winner! So are you! Enjoy it

I think the PCX have better placement of radiator compare to other scooter placement.
Especially for tropical and wet road condition.
