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!

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.

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.

It looks fantastic except for the front, it might be the wing mirror/indicators but the front makes me think if Jar jar Binks!

Likely to be either the toolkit or numberplate.
Cured mine by removing the toolkit and sticking the numberplate down with heavy duty double sided tape.

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!
