The Forza is a really nice bike,but I agree the 300 is the way to go.The modern technological features are really keen,but I personally prefer the previous more simpler model.Unless you are jitterbugging about the shorter wheel base is less visible and might reduce the cruisability quality as well as the lighter weight.The movable screen is nice but really necessary ?? The lower height on the previous model allows for more comfort especially when planting a leg at a stop,.I think the previous model has some significant advantages,at least for this guy.Nice scenic video..very nice!!

The looks of the new Forza does not do it for me at all. Its the mirrors, in front of the bike they stand out too much and make the scooter look too serious or like a police bike to me.
The first generation Forza's style is a thing of the past to my eyes, it reminds me of cars from the 1950s. Big round, rotund kind of looks makes it unique compared to the 300s the Japanese are making which looks like a transformer. And lets not forget the big old headlights of the 1st gen Forza its bigger than pretty much anything out there motorcycle included.
Never going to sell my ride!!

Except for the mirrors, I like the look of the new Forza. It's extremely similar to the Xmax from certain angles. And as far as the windshield goes, I think it's an extremely nice addition, When moving thru small towns and urban areas on a long trip, it's nice to put it down and get some fresh air, and then have it go back up when you reach the outskirts of town and back out on a four-lane.
