Nice review. I bought a 1918 Forza 300 last autumn. Having had the usual selection of superbikes etc over the years, is the best "bike" to date. Stylish, Economical, quick and loads of fun on short or long journeys. If your thinking of buying one...just do it. You won't regret it. Looking forward to more videos.
Excellent review. I found it via the Honda Forza 125 Club UK Facebook Group. It will be very helpful for those upgrading or simply going straight to the 300.
Just sold my vfr vtec and ordered the same colour, expecting delivery mid September, my days with arse up head down have finished lol. My wife as a PCX 125, the Forza will be a breeze on rides out and great with a pillion 👍, great review😀
Great review and thanks for it. I went the same route as you on scooters and purchased the Fortza 125cc which I've now traded for the 300cc with heated grips. Delivery is in 4 weeks but my biggest gripe is the cost of the Honda top box which is around £800. I'm looking forward to my first tour of Scotland on it. Thanks again.
@@drewbydude thanks for the tip, I will look at the Fortza group on Facebook. It would be nice to do the Scottish North Coast 500 mile route with a few scooter riding friends.
I am 6 months in to my first bike. Forza 125. Am looking at doing my A2 and getting the 300 during the new year. Travelling 30miles a day for work on the 125 is alright but want the extra speed and power. Great video btw.
Great review. Seriously considering buying one of these. As you say do a review in a 1000 mile or so and tell us about fuel consumption and performance. 👍🏻
Great video. I am researching Japanese scooter's and l found this educational for me. Not many reviews done in English. Thanks for Youngstown Ohio. U$A
Hi, how do you find the lights? any way you could compare with other bikes or even a car. My commute is a similar distance to you and the limiting factor with motorcycles can be the lights.
The lights are excellent on both dip and main.. infact better than most cars I have driven with Halogen headlamps.. Not as good as xenon mind..I ride a lot on unlite roads and have been impressed with the lamps on both the 125 and 300 Forza. I always give them a wipe over before my commute in the dark mind...
Have you still got the Forza and what are your thoughts about it now - be interested to know as I may look at this for myself next year (CB500X and NC750 also in the running). Thanks Steve
S _ I with my old Forza EX-250 2008 I've travelled 700-800 km. In the middle of August, it was very hot and it was a delight as it devoured kilometers without getting tired. Now it is 130.000 Km. and 11 years old and it still looks splendid and the engine is incredibly fine. I gave it to my brother and bought a Forza 300 2019. After the first overhaul at 1,000 km I made a 500 km journey and returned the next day and I can only say that it is a wonder. I repeated with Honda after being tempted by the X-Max 300 and its 3 more HP. But I was right even though I had a little less power. I hope that my experience will clarify your doubts...
Nice review mate. I have the same bike 2018/19 model, now done 15,000 k’s on i it in 7months. I’ve just replaced the tires to Pirrelli angel CT’s as the OeMs are no longer available, however the front one is proving to be a nightmare and doesn’t balance well. Have you got to that stage yet......?
Hi 2 things does the mirrors vibrate over rough surfaces and the tank range have you had issues with that .. like traveling 15 miles and the tank range miles not moved
Personally I find the mirrors absolutely fine, tank range is approximately 200 miles. I usually refill after around 180miles which is 4 days commute.. I average 83mpg mainly on A roads.. Overall a superb bike.
How do you find the front screen? I heard it is to short for 6'ers. How much would you extend the highest position by? Just to have calm, no buffety ride? Maby you got some particular screen model? Thanks. My 300 is on the way.
Depends what you want it for.. I commute 40miles a day and find the 300 ample.. I also have a large sport bike but will always choose the 300 for my daily ride. Cheap to run and very nippy...
To date I still have not fitted hand guards, it appears only Puig have guards available for the Forza, but at £100 a set I wont bother... Stick to me heated gloves for now..😉
Great review - many thanks - nice to see a UK scooter review! You said you're 5'11' - how do you find it for size? I'm 6'1' with 32 inseam - wondered if I'd be a little cramped? Cheers in advance.
Thanks for the review, it was a good idea to take the Forza over the 750. I think Akrpovic make a full system I saw one on a 125 Forza. Givi makes a great backrest it looks really cool. Much better than a top box. Hope you do an update later. Frank.
Thank you for your interest in my review... Will be doing an update very soon,, my Forza is currently with Scorpion who are borrrowing it to develop an aftermarket exhaust system . New will be includes in my next update review..😁
At the 9:48 mark there appears to be a drop or two of some type of oil on the inside top of the rear case. What is that coming from? Is the left shock leaking?
I just purchased one of these and I’m having the same issue with the screen. Did you get a new one, if so I would love to hear which and did it solve the problem?

Thanks for the video. Just ordered mine today in black. Cant wait to pick it up!
How you going with your bike......?
Thank You! I wish that these were available in the USA.

Join the Forza group on Facebook... You will love the 300.... be interesting to know how you get on with the tour...

Nice review! Is there a possibility to show how the heating grips can be set up?
any updates since you bought the forza300. Im looking at this, or the Yam xmax300. What are the good points re the forza and the areas for improvement
Great review. Seriously considering buying one of these. As you say do a review in a 1000 mile or so and tell us about fuel consumption and performance. 👍🏻
Gone well past the 1000 miles .. hope to add an update very soon... great bike..
@@drewbydude hopefully in mpg lol

Nice video and beautiful scooter. I wanted to know, to travel around 300-400 km on national roads can you do well? Or is the engine too small?
500k on this bike would be easy...

Debating whether to go for the Forza 300 or Xmax 300 - any idea of comparisons between the two. I currently ride a SH300
@@welsonjonhson8147 have you test ridden either of them?
wish it would come to the USA...I would love to get one...Hopefully Honda will consider it for America.

Dear drewbydude can you mount a bracket for GPS?
Thanks for the review. Currently doing my A2 and considering the Honda Forza 300. A bit afraid though that it's not powerful enough?!? Thanks.

Great review about a great scooter. I ve got exactly one like it myself ! Did you manage to fit any hand guards on it ? Thanks.

Plenty of room for me with loads to spare :-)
Wow. Is OK 👍
What's a major service cost on the Forza ?
Just traded in a nc750s for the forza 300.
Good choice for town riding.
Hoping to come in the Philippines!
Can a 5 feet high person ride it
I just Bought One. Difficult to Start, KeyLess
🎉
Can you change the miles per litre to mpg ? The service is 8000 miles ?

its me swampy

Was excess ACF50, the bike was given a good coating that very morning...
I just purchased one of these and I’m having the same issue with the screen. Did you get a new one, if so I would love to hear which and did it solve the problem?
Hi do you find the suspension hard and crashes and bangs over ruts in the road
Not at all.. Find the bike feels good on all road surfaces..
Compared to most motorbikes yes. But for a scooter it’s very good.
Thank for the review please do update thank you 😊
*I gave-up at the **5:30**-mark...I just can't HEAR YOU!*
Great review there geeza,out of curiosity does it tell you mile till empty fuel wise?all the best 👍👍
Yes it does show miles to empty...
Really must try and do an update as covered 2500 miles now ...
@@drewbydude looking forward to that update 😎
hi andrw
