This Italian video is well worth watching. . .really draws you in. . .easy to read subtitles. But, if you do speak any Italian you can get a lot of the "in between the lines" comments. Just posted days ago by the good folks at Moto.It.
Bottom line is the Forza is comfortable, and refined. The XMax is more agile and has more power. Both are fine machines but at the end of the day I'm liking the Forza for it's lower seat height, electric windshield, and spacious pillion.

I would think unless you are going to do the slolum and radical curves frequently the heavier bike would be better suited for the highway and windy days. Especially with the lower profile the FORZA offers. The FORZA may have the edge. Price could be the factor however.

....a shame. Had those - the Michelins fitted on the European models are better. Wear longer & better in the wet ....and not impossible to find like my Scootsmart was. None were avail. when I had a flat on my 2014 Forza.
