Thank you for your clear, honest and explanatory reviews of many bikes, I am a loyal follower of your videos !
Greetings from America ! VERY nice "real world" review of this fine machine. Lovely, short tour of your scenic country, as well ! Ride On !
I use mine as a winter commuter (in the UK) and for touring the rest of the year. It will comfortably cruise at 60mph (100kph) all day. Great little scoot.
@happy man I've had mine at 85-90mph (140-150kph).
@happy man 83mph GPS.
Only got my 2018 model in August 2023 so were in October now but gonna see how it is in the winter ahead. But I love it its brilliant. Keep toying on the idea of a yamaha tmax. But there oil change is every 3000 miles and less miles to the tank
Terrific review as always Cager. I bought a Honda Fortza 125cc three years ago on the strength of your review of the bike. I've now ordered the 300cc Forza and looking forward to my first tour of Scotland. Best wishes from the UK.
Same here, was thinking about the Forza then saw this and it's pretty much made my mind up for me. I spoke to the guys at the dealership about the keyless topbox and it was like £600 extra so think I'll manage without that.
Good to see a scooter again. Pretty nice bike. The only thing I would change is to have a full digital dash. When I had the Yamaha Majesty S I agreed with you that it’s best to have analogue revs and digital speed, but that was 2014. The Forza’s dash looks pretty old for a 2019 bike to me anyway.
Oh, I've been waiting for this one.
Yeah 👍. Me too.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the BMW C400X.
3:20 “A billion buttons here...” haha love it!
great review, but I was expecting a bonus video at the end LOL
Awesome review. Can you recommend me some gloves for city use ?
Cager i need an honest opinion, what would be your pick, this one or the Yamaha X max 300?
how quiet is it when you ride I'm watching your video clip and I don't here it I love that.
I was wondering,have you tested the bmw 650gt scooter? the suzuki burgman 650 executive?
Suggestion: Put the motorcycle in the SUN, so we can see it. The shade makes it harder to see the specifics of it.
Very good channel . 😎👍🏼
ok...…….….first the X-ADV, now this updated Forza ………. Honda is getting SERIOUS about making NICE scooters once again! NOW...…….lets see them shove that 750 motor of the XADV into a squishy soft plush riding LARGE frame long distance Burgman 650 Executive killing king of the hill touring scooter and bring back the Helix name!!! :-D Great vid dude! Love ALL your reviews.
yeah, a nice replacement for the GT600 silverwing, which i wish honda still made, then i would not have had to buy a shit yamaha tmax 530 dx which is a disappointing bike to say the least
I remember riding the Helix. Definitely would be interested in an updated version. The only thing I hated about it was how hard it was to access the rear wheel.
@@phillipnunya6793 'ya putting air in the back tire, even with the rotated around 90 deg. valve stem, was always a forevermore PITA!!! Not so bad when at home because I found a air chuck at Tractor Supply that had juuuuuuuust the right size to it on about a 6" stem that I rebent to a new angle in the vice. So when at home was not that bad. But oh my lands trying to put air in there at one of those gas station air pumps, total pain! ROFL!
@@staninjapan07 I now know for a flat fact from a test ride the BMW C650 is better in every measurable way replacement to my old Honda FSC600 Silverwing. But DANG the price of those things!!! 0_0
so Im only 5ft tall would this Honda be a good size fit for me? does it come in other sizes as in full size, midsize
so and so forth? what Honda scooter would be a great fit for some who is short like me
for a Honda 250cc?
Beautiful bike
Will you do the review of the 2019 model this year?
Uphill how does it behave? Is it slow or are you able to make discrete speed?
I really like your review. I am riding a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 right now that I will keep... I want a scooter for my short rides, less than a 100 km. Is there something better than the HONDA Forza that I should consider before I buy the Honda?
Consider the Yamaha XMAX 300. Similar to the Forza, but the engine has more punch.
Great, wish it was longer, ala TMAX
Cager the Honda Forza 300cc is coming. I'm looking forward to your reviews.
The Forza 350 you mean?
@@otablott7779 Correct, apologies about the error. Thanks for pointing it out.
5950 here in Greece. I believe Beverly 300 is the best choice at 4200. Even though i dont like much Piaggio.
I always value your input (I bought my NMAX because of you) but I am a bit sad that half of the video you kept talking about the suspension and possible problems with it. :(
I thought the same. Dont worry, Suspension is fine unless perhaps you push it to do things it's not designed for - like going 110kmh over bumpy provincial roads. Suspension is very similar to xmax 300 in my experience.
@@joskoevoet9569 Okay, thanks for the confirmation.
DRL (Daylight Running Lamps) :P Also, the cheapest (not Chinese) scooter probably is the Piaggio Beverly.
Put progressive springs on the front of mine and it transformed the suspension. Well worth £130. Perfect now 👍
can you test the new c125
Wish it would come to the USA
the cb500 x 2019 when the test drive?
I think the tmax is the best scooter, of course is more money to pay . But they have made the new Forza much better if you know the previous Forza 300
The Fraza and the Tmax parked next to each other- first one to be stolen will be the TMax. Buy the bike that matches the ride. If you have extra buy the one you want.
Cool bike
they are great all rounders.... superb seat for pillion.... i dont go over 70mph much now anyway.... and ignore honda oil service intervals.... never let the oil go past 4000miles its black full of dirt....simple job on a scooter.. my piaggio i was changing the 1200cc oil every 4 weeks...simple and cheap.. ..
What's with that last 14 min?
Cager would you like to make a test brand new Honda Super Cub c125 ??? 🤞🏍Cheers buddy🍻 Greetings from Poland
Nice!
If I reverse parked my Ninja 300 at the drive in cinema all I'd be watching "The Elbow" and after the "Elbow 2"
Tem carta de carro .. written on the shop front. Does that mean no test, no CBT no L plates as long as you've passed your driving test? wow!
barnbersonol It mean: “Do you have driver licence? You should buy a 150cc”
Overall how does it compare to the X-Max 300 ?
I would like to know aswell
softer and slower than Xmax 300 / more fuel-efficient and probably bit more comfortable
Me two I'm hopefully doing my a2 in August or September so want know been told xmax uses more fuel but little bit quicker but both very good
One little thing I saw a review on the x max keyless ignition which says it does not light up, which makes selecting the correct settings in the dark a bit hit and miss, he did say that with experience it would be easier but the honda has a slightly better illuminated keyless switch.
@@nicolasverhaegen4308 do you own an xmax 300?
I'm thinking about getting the XMAX 300, but I may have a harder time deciding that if they offered the newer version of the Forza in the USA. All we have is the 2016 version.
In my opinion you'll should wait and compared a Yamaha with this brand new Honda. Yamaha is like BMW and this Honda is like Benz . You know what i mean?
@@Sebastian_ Ideally yes, but I will need one in a few months. I don't think they will start selling the new version here any time soon.
Phillip Nunya xmax shouldn’t go wrong
Xmax looks better (more sportier) and faster
BLUE MOON - Vlog did u email honda
How does it compare to the XMAX 300?
I tested both twice and went for the forza in the end as i found it easier to handle in city traffic, better mirrors and front lights, and the electric windscreen. Three months in the suspension has worn in, very comfy. Super happy with it.
I've tested both. Forza is way more fun to drive IMO
EFA22000 how?
I'm have a fever, but it looks like a dog face smiling at you if you freeze frame and check the dash and handlebar and knob below handle bar at 3:08 :)
sinzies thats not fever its some drug you ate ;-)
You would be shocked how cheap the stock suspension parts are in those scooters.
Haha I think I was just in your shop?!
The older Burgman 400 feels much more substantial visually and riding!
Side by side the Honda looks like the plastics are flimsy!
The Suzuki Burgman feels like it will last for decades!
And road holding / suspension/comfort are totally in a better league on the old 2010 budgie.
The Burgam isn't fuel efficient, it doesn't have traction control and now its been discontinued
This forza 300 is not a maxi scooter, more of a midi scooter, so it's not a comparison with the 400 Suzi Budgie which is a boat sized maxi scooter.
How does it handles bumps? 🙄
We will probably not get the 300 here in Japan, as anything 250 or over is subject to a safety certificate check every two years, and so we will probably get a 250 version and perhaps a 400. It's the same with a number of similar things.
We have an Xmax 250 and perhaps we will soon have an Xmax 400, not that I will be spending any money on either after being utterly disappointed with a brand new Tmax 350DX that sounds like a broken two-stroke lawn mower.
Thanks for another great review.
Hey Japan, is it true that people in your country have to pick up a motorcycle from the ground to pass the driver licence?
I didn't have to.
@@freshasadaisy4782
This one or xmax 300 is better ?
Forza
Seat height feeling compared to xmax 300?
I’ve tested both. For me (1,75 cm) seat in Forza are much better (due to lower position I think)
Nice review.......I hired a scooter on holiday in Portugal in 2017 and with my wife on the back we did nearly 350 miles in four days on it - had a blast........here it is.....photos.smugmug.com/Portugal-2017/i-TCncT4c/0/c516ea49/L/IMG_1488-L.jpg
We stayed at Albufiera and one day rode north on the IC1 and then onto the N267 to Monchique - what a fabulous road to ride a bike - if you haven't been on it you should!!
Ride safe.

Which 300cc scooter would you buy? Forza 300? XMAX 300, GTS?
I have a gts and i have tried the xmax. Gts is way more fun, quicker to take off, more agile. Xmax is better for highway but feels underpowered.
@@EFA22000 That's interesting since the XMAX has more HP than the GTS.
@@dukeloo xmax takes off very slowly. With the gts300 you have all the power from the get go. It feels almost like an electric engine. I wanted badly to buy the xmax to replace my gts but the test ride changed my mind.
I am talking about de vespa gts300
Can you do a kymco 400s
it's a decent scooter, handling is noticeably heavier compared to my former xmax 125 though^^
Piaggio Beverly 350 has bigger more stable wheels, A LOT MORE power(in the scooter world) 60cc, 10 hp more, better suspension, more zippi and practical in town so, best brakes in class and yet it is a least 1000 euro cheaper, so yeah i know my choice...
It would look nicer if you had parked it in the sun!
Piaggio Beverly 350 please
Tomas Schultz old stuff...
@@robertprovaznik2722 I know:-)
Honda Forza Gud 125 150 250 300 350 👍
Much prefer the Xmax 300
Tu és pt crlh 😂
I've ridden a scooter once before. I'll never ride one again. The most scared i've ever been on the road. Never again!
Why is that?
Learn to ride, gain more expereience...
Then dont try flying 70 kmh downhill on public road on a hardtail mountainbike without any helmet and protective gear. THATS scary. Not scooter with great breaks nd helmet. Or did you drove 50cc chinese coffee grinder? ;-)
@@tmfrs2 I don't like the way it feels. The seating position isn't to my liking and the small wheels is scary on bad roads with potholes and/or deep groves.
@@heimatcz I'd bet i'm a better rider then you. I've been riding for 18 years. And i have been riding Trail bikes too. You just can't handle that other people don't like your precious little scooter. That's just sad bro. Sad and pathetic.
