The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Just curious how many regularly ride their NSS300 on the freeway interstate with speed limit 70MPH and regular traffic between 75-80?

I haven't taken mine yet on the interstate and just curious how it would handle at that speed. I usually stay to the 55-60 side roads.

Forza’ s handle fine on the interstate highway, just don’t stay behind a truck or you get blown around

I ride a lot on the slower Canadian highways. I would never try the USA interstates.

You are too close to maximum speed ALL the time. The Forza will do it but it puts a lot of stress on the engine.

I got 100,000 miles out of my engine by almost never riding it full throttle.

My 2014 with a high windshield is amazingly stable at max speed.

Stay on the slower roads for less stress on your body also.

I rode for a few hours today and my top speed was 120 kmph (74.5 mph) but I tried to keep it more like 100 or less (62 mph).

278cc is just not enough. The Forza 300 is big heavy pig.

I appreciate the feedback! Quick question regarding a noise from the rear final gear area… when idling there is a kind of howling noise. Is that normal? I just switched helmets so I don’t know if it’s always been there. I only have 5800 on the clock

I can't reply? Clutch? Normal

Hard to tell without hearing it.
My 2013 - with over 30,000 Km, is silent at idle. Even with no helmet on.
You can hear the clutch spin, but no howling, grinding, nuttin'
No noise from the drive belt cover area at all

I live in a small town of less than 1,500 peoples that has no lights and can be driven through in a minute, so unless I'm going to the Post Office, bank or grocery store, I'm on the highway or freeway doing at least 60MPH. When I go to work, I'm frequently running late, so it's 75-80MPH on the freeway. The Forza isn't quick like a motorcycle, but I'd say it has passing power up to 80MPH or so and it'll happily hum along at 75-80 all day long.
