I’ve put 46,000 miles on my 2014 Forza. No mechanical issues so far. Haven’t touched the valves. Still get close to 70mpg doing mostly highway speeds. My full face helmet fits easily under the seat along with my motorcycle jacket or my wife’s helmet. There’s a TH-cam video of a 6’2” 220lb guy doing 87mph on his Forza 300. I typically don’t go over 75mph, wife doesn’t like me going over 70 if she’s on board.
I have the same windscreen, it's great for freeway speed. I installed the YSS rear shocks and it's made such a difference to the ride quality. In the tool bag you should have a strap to lock your helmet to if it doesn't fit under the seat. I also replaced the rollers in the variator with 19 gram sliders which really opened up the performance off the line. Great bike.
Late to the Forza ride party you had 2 years ago, but it still works for me!👍🏻Especially liked your very low key approach with systems & overall orientation plus having a different camera view on the ride, (good for you being different)! Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).
I bought my Forza 300 in 2015, don't ride a lot, but I love it. Looks just like yours but a low windscreen which I am about to change for the taller one. I love the look of it, the classy smooth styling of the body lines, the ride, the reliability (it is a Honda 4 stroke, nuff said), and would not part with it. Thanks for the review, but one comment... You said it tops out at 170kph? Nope, not even close, and I wouldn't want to sit on one doing that speed even if it were possible.
Thanks for your positive comment, Yes correct, the fact that it might reach 170k/h does not mean it is the optimum or safe speed, in that case probably 100km/h is more close to practical/safe...
@@Aro_arwana I have the front kit and the rear kit. These are from Australia, but if you can get them directly from Thailand, they are probably half the price.
I have this model with slight alterations. How should one go about installing a phone holder onto this bike? It seems newer models have modular windshields that can house all sorts of adapters and brackets. This model does not, however. Would all accessories have to be installed directly onto the handlebar? I've been looking into HOLDER 2.0, which is a lockable phone holder brand.
I had A 2014 Forza300. I was very disappointed. Apparently the people singing praises about the Forza have never ridden Kymco Downtown 300 or a people 300 GTI. Both are more powerful, faster, double the warranty and much better all around. I was extremely happy to take a low price for my Forza to get rid of it because it does not live up to the hype I'm back on a Kymco people 300 GTI and I will never look at another Honda scooter overrated overpriced underpowered All the above
I don’t get it. How is it possible that it doesn’t fit a proper helmet!? That’s its only fault and it’s a fucking deal breaker for me. Such a shame. I’d never fit a back case on it. Those are hideous. Great review btw.
I get so suck if the Honda Hype.. over priced, under powered, lousy gas mileage unless you stay under 50mph, mine is no faster on the interstate than my Reflex was. The bike also has a nasty "death wobble". To all those bragging on the Forza I suggest they have never ridden a Kymco People 300 I or a Downtown 300i. Both are much more powerful and economical than the almighty Forza. Take it from a very unhappy Forza owner, there are much better scooters out there
Hi Walt, for the time my wife had the Forza she never had any problem with it, like any other Honda it was a reliable machine, not a record breaker, just smooth, reliable and practical. I am sorry that you have had a different experience.
That's twice on this review you've pushed the Kymco People 300, you on commission or something? Every review I've watched has come to similar conclusions as this one so either they are all wrong or just maybe you are. :-)
I've been watching several reviews on these scooters and the only bad reviews I've seen is from Walt Hinckley. And apparently he's made a comment on every single Honda Forza 300 post on TH-cam. The way I see it is if people are asking your opinion then leave it. But if they are posting what they love about their new scooter then you need to keep scrolling and keep your opinions to yourself. You are an a$$hole in my opinion but I'm not gonna post it on every single post of everyone's love of their machine. Just gonna post it on this one. Sorry everyone. Rant over. Thanks!

True. Absolutely great bike, very practical...

👍 very good and comfy bike, practical too.

I have one and I love it ! Hello from Rolla Missouri USA

I have the YSS rear shocks and it's like a different bike, the ride is incredible now.
Can you share what kind of yss model type? @@CamboFord

I love my Honda Forza, great video !! Dallas Texas 👍🏼🇺🇸😎
It is a great bike...
Great video, love the look of it, very practical smooth ride, highway compatible scooter…
Thank you.
I love this scooter. And wanna had this
It is a very good scooter.
How much it cost as of now?
@@sophannachhay9875 the new 2022 NSS350A is $10,000 Australian...
How about this second hand cost up to now?
@@sophannachhay9875 servicing only... oil and filter change...
I have the same bike but red. Youre full faced helmet fits on the back, put it sideways and where and the battery located can put it there too.
Thanks mate, I will give it a try.
Thx for tha video, im looking to buy a used one.
Im hesitating between those two 300cc models .
The 350cc is still too expensive..
300 is sufficient.
I already bought it.
2017 forza 300
This is a big scooter. My Honda Ruckus at 190 lb’s is small.
Yes, it is a big scooter, not so light. Thus safe for highways.
I have this model with slight alterations.
How should one go about installing a phone holder onto this bike? It seems newer models have modular windshields that can house all sorts of adapters and brackets. This model does not, however.
Would all accessories have to be installed directly onto the handlebar?
I've been looking into HOLDER 2.0, which is a lockable phone holder brand.
You probably should use the mirror rods... or a custom bracket, isn't it s.th on ebay?
Are you selling this or are you just showing it please comment back Would love to know thank you for this video
Thanks mate, it was just my honest review

Don't think the kymco is as reliable tho
Haha you don't know much then... Hondas are the best ... I'll buy your scooter
Kymco has a bad seating position
I haven’t sat on the Forza yet, I found the Kymco Xtown 300 to be cramped when sitting on it. Can’t wait to try the Forza.
Man I have a 2014 and I love it for My age of 67 , I know not everyone does though , I did have a kymco super 8 150 and I loved it

It will fit most full face, but my new one has a spoiler and doesn't quite fit.

I am just in the process of evaluating a 2014 White Forza the same as yours with similar mileage - uncanny. I found your video very helpful, thanks.
