  • Just some unscientific thoughts and feelings after riding Forza 125 for a few days.
    I'll do a follow up once its properly run in.

    Great review. I had a PCX but swapped to Forza a week ago and so happy i did. Like you said PCX are built for being nimble but the issue i had going down main roads was i was stuck behind lorries as it struggled to overtake. My Forza on otherhand can do up to 70mph which is more then enough to pass lorries and to get back into lane afterwards. So i would deffo reccomend a Forza now over a PCX

      I also felt like I had more presence on the road on the Forza also. I didn't feel uncomfortable on dual carriageways which I did/do on the pcx and now the YBR.

    Thanks for this great comparison. I was thinking of switching from PCX.
    However it is missing few HP's thus I stick to my PCX that rules!

    Thanks for your observations, I am a similar size and weight as you, and tried the pcx and Forza 125 today, and founf the pcx too cramped, the forza is like riding a arm chair. The only thing putting me off at the moment is the substantial price of the Forza, but it does look cool ,

    My workmate has a PCX, I have an S wing. The S wing is bigger, posher and more powerful but not faster. 65mph both bikes. Its big plus is great pillion-carrying ability, which I regularly use. PCX too little. Otherwise I'd go for the PCX for the 115 mpg. As opposed to "only" 92mpg.
    (Actually it's Pantheon version that I have, essentially a pre-facelift S wing)

    hi tnx for the video . i am still not sure which one to buy forza or pcx my main concern is passing through traffic . i am using the bike for couriers .passing through stopped car in traffic is the forza easy like the pcx ? and the indicators are on the mirror if in case fall down to the ground while on side stand (is it expensive the original mirror with the indicator ?) tnx again

      +Abdullah Espanol Its alot more stable at slower speeds than pcx. Probably not as nimble purely due to the extra weight. Mirror units are about £60.00 uk pounds each.

    I am thinking anout getting ine of these after my kymco super 8 125 cc died on me but i could only get around 55 to 60 mph how fast have you managed to get out of yours and would you recommend the bike over all the ither 125cc you have been on

      Rob Turner 75mph so far on the dial. Most of my previous experience has been on the PCX and this is certainly better.

      I was thinking to get this or the pcx which one would in your experience better to ride including comfort and speed ?

      Rob Turner Depends what you are riding it for. £4,000 is kinda expensive for just commuting. You could go for something in between like Yamaha Majesty S. More comfortable, handles better than PCX and cheaper than Forza or Xmax. Check out Cager on Two Wheels review videos they were a great inspiration to me. He's going to do the Forza soon. Most I ever got out of my pcx was 62mph.

      I do watch his views and also watched his view on the Forza and i am still thinking the forza is an amazing model for speed and fuel and abs the lot in your view how is the forza and wgat speeds are you getting out of it. They have a Facebook page for the forza and someone did mention a lock up on breaks are you getting this problem

      Rob Turner I love it. its very pleasant to ride. Cruising at 70mph is no problem on the flat and doesn't feel unsafe. 75mph seems to be the absolute max at the moment. Haven't had any brake problems so far. I've done a couple of test emergency stops and it felt very stable and stopped quickly. Done nearly 600 miles already. It just a much nicer riding experience than on the PCX.
