Review: Honda Forza 750 (2021) | road test review after 650 miles
Is this scooter the sportiest maxi-scooter on the market? Surely this isn’t just a commuter, with the Showa USD forks, twin Nissin disc brakes, a sublime DCT box giving true motorcycle dynamics on the road.
Visordown tested the new 2021 Honda Forza 750 for a couple of weeks, covering around 650 miles to really find out what the biggest maxi-scooter in the Honda line-up has to offer. This 745cc parallel twin really does make quite the racket as well…

Messy chain, no heated grips, no adjustable screen, no cruise.. come on Honda. The people who are in the market for this kind of maxi scooter want a luxury machine.
Honda really don’t like fitting cruise control! Should be fitted as standard to bikes in this price range.
Hi, what exactly can I expect with the messy chain?
Those would be great features but considering what scooters are already offering is pretty insane .
Fantastic machine.
Spoke to biker at Stafford classic bikes. He had been out on the forza 300 for the day. Never ridden a scooter before, told me that he was seriously thinking of buying one. It was just so easy to ride and enjoy.
Great review. Have just taken delivery of mine and find itis fantastic. Bargained a bit of money off, so got heated grips thrown in. DCT gearbox is brilliant. Loving it and planning my next big trip.
I have got a Tenere 700, tracer 900 and a 125 scooter for work. Seriously thinking about trading the tracer 900 and 125 for one of these.
I love maxi scooters but it's just madness that they charge so much money for one if they started at around £7,500 they would sell so many more.
agreed
All those plastic panels don't come cheap. Rather elaborate molds to manufacture parts like that. And if they don't sell a lot of bikes, the economics leaves only one option, charge more than a naked bike. But for the functionality and safety of a big scooter compared to a naked bike, I'll pay the extra any time.
Its like a mini Goldwing, I love this :D
Excellent, thanks!
Thanks for this review
Perfect I Love This Maxi scoot.
It is what it is if you want power buy a fire blade if you want jack of all trades master of non give this a coating of looking at,great review by the way 👍
Why does this have 2 front disk brakes and the nc750x has a single? Come onnnnn honda...
Super review. Whats your helmet? Pretty dope
I'd like to see a comparison with this and the established full size tourers in urban, extra urban and extreme long range circumstances.
I absolutely love this. ❤️
I feel the government should be encouraging people to get on scooters. The amount of people doing a 1 person journey to and from work is a big issue in the UK.
For like emissions? Because you know that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme. Just carnival cruise lines 26 ships create more emissions than every car in Europe combined. That's just one cruze line. Ships aren't held to any standards. There's over 50,000 container ships floating around out there
Looks and sounds good. I never thought I’d hear myself saying that 🤔👍
The price and lack of street cred would be enough to put me off though
Have anyone tested both this and new version X-ADV, whats your opinion of which the better one?
Got to figure out what I'm going to do with my Suzuki burgman 650 having transmission issues sad times
Just purchased one in Israel, hot do you guys handle the seat ?
for me its too hard, im a small guy ( 1.74 ) 68KG and i find my back hurts after a 50km ride.
until now i had the NC750X and i put a SHAD comfort seat on for extra comfort...
Thanks!
Its a really nice scooter. Test rode one last weekend. Power and speed is there, almost touched 200kmh. The gearbox is seamless. Its a fun, comfortable ride. What I really miss for this price is cruise control. Thats a deal breaker for me.
Yeah, cruise control and heated grips should be standard.
I bought one despite the lack of cruise control. I've had BMW touring bikes in the past with cruise control and rarely used it. Besides, you can get a Bike It Cruise Control on eBay for £24, or a Febelle Cruise Control on Amazon for £6-25, and they both work quite well.
The Forza 750 is a fantastic machine, and I don't miss cruise control.
@@Terraceview Living in Thailand I wouldnt have much need of heated grips (cooling grips would be nice) and cruise control wouldnt interest me, so why not have them as extras? Only big problems for me is that this isnt yet available in Thailand and the price when it does come out.
Are they available in the USA and are they a match for small riders?
For £10,000 on a 750cc, you ought to get the full package; headed grips, adjustable screen at the very least. I don't care how good it is, it is simply far too expensive. That is all I can say about this one.
That's the unfortunate Honda premium you pay. It sucks
Awesome love one
Love it! Will we have X-ADV review? That'd be super! Cheers 🍻
Hello! This is our X-ADV review: th-cam.com/video/pDn--bdbRIE/w-d-xo.html Check it out!
Can tell this is the first generation of this bike, I'd say come back in a few years when we're a couple of generations in when they got more refinements from the 350 on there. Also more storage, 125 and 350 can fit 2 full face helmets under the seat, this needs that. That and a large box on the back then no need for pannier kit.
Maxi Scooter Madneess!! 👌
Love it. Have already bought one.
I got one too, and I love it!
How often do you put grease on the chains ?
what a brilliant machine!
Is anyone in the UK going to be road testing it's smaller brother, the Forza 350?
Where’s the Kawasaki z900 part 2?
I have no idea why a forza 125 which costs less than half the price comes with an electrically adjustable windscreen and this has a fixed screen.
Crazy isn't it?
Pricey! Nice! Maybe?!
This is absolutely amazing 👏 im hoping that Philippines 🇵🇭 have this model too.
It will bro, punta ka 7powers, they are accepting orders due November this year 2021.
@@paulBXR salamat po sa info boss
Acabo de sacarme el A2 y estoy mirando maxiscooter... Salgo de estar con una Vespa y tengo la cosilla por el tema del peso de la moto, creéis que es un cambio muy brusco?? O su conducción es fácil?? Gracias
If it was available in the US I would consider this vs the NC700XD.
what is your height? is this OK for 1.90m rider?
I wish the USA could get more Maxi scooters. I love this.
The closest the US got to this was the NM4, and that model only stuck around for two years.
Must be one of the best sounding maxi-scooters as well.
I bought one. It sounds fantastic, like a 90 degree V-twin, and that's only one of the great things about it!
@@rkbeswick best sounding bike is .........a quiet bike!........what in the world is wrong with you?
I like cruisers. But after talking to a couple at the Honda Dealers who have one of these, I am beginning to reconsider what my next bike will be. I am torn between the XADV the Forza or the NC750X
Definitely NC 👍
Plush suspension, 70mpg, take it on trails, commute in the city.
Any forza vs x adv comparison?
Yes , i agree , great scooter but I'll keep my 2007 honda helix 250cc. That i bought in 2010 for 2k. Honda's are great but , c'mon man.
Love to try one I’ve got a Bmw r1200gs and I’m getting old.
i need help! I sold my tmax and bouzght new forza. Immediately i noticed that Forza wobles at high speed. BIke bens at hig h speed. I have case behind, bought all wind deflectors for legs and now even new wind screen from Givi. Windscreen is bigger and u can even set height of it. So this really frustrates me, bcs Forza is just not stable at high speed on ac. It feels like its bending all the time. Tmax was so stable and calm even at highest speed 180kmh, but forza starts to wobble at 150kmh. Do u have the same problems and how to fic that if u even can!? I will sell the bike, bcs of that id it cant be fixed. Kinda very disspointed.
Tmax is Tmax ,,,but only I will change it with X adv another beast
I think there are 2 things that put off most people: Price and chain drive. What is the point of a chain drive in a maxi scoot?
I love powerful scooter like this , I completely agree is to expensive and we need spend more money with accessories. Yamaha Tmax win if you compare . Btw is more expensive but has cruise control option. Another problem I have in London , probably someone will stole that it soon. I’m so afraid to by a motorbike like I want.
Nice review, thanks. I'd definitely consider this but, as you pointed
out, you still need to spec it up to make it the bike it should be as
standard: i.e. better screen, heated grips, luggage.
Even the Honda Forza 350, at about half the price, has an electrically adjustable screen.
Totally agree, they messed up with the fixed screen.
Maybe I'm missing the point of this but if I bought this I might as well just get a proper bike I'll keep my forza 350 more scooter and basic maintenance
for me ,I'd rather buy the 350 Forza for half the price and money save put it towards the NC750x dct and have the best in both worlds.
if I've to go for a 350 then I would choose Sh350i
@@sgrulido I found the rear suspension just too compromised on rough roads, so traded mine in for a Forza 750. Suspension is in a different league. Have to say thouogh, the 350 is great otherwise.
Why do the fit skinny seats on new bikes it's a pain .
Nice yard chap. NC750 would be my choice.
Now if only Honda would bring them to the US
You didnt show the glove box.... its the little things we want to know....
I think that Honda have missed a trick or three here. There should be a deluxe/gt version that addresses all your points and includes better weather protection for the hands, support for the lower back, better rear suspension and perhaps integrated panniers from the design stage not additional. I say this as a rider familiar with dct (5000 miles) looking for something lighter than a BMW R1200RT but with good weather protection and less weight, (dodgy lower back). The cruise control or lack thereof is a big thing for me because in these days of average speed cameras it is so very easy to go over the limit with dct and not realise it. My test ride was not that long but enough to rule it out as a replacement.
Did you change your bike, Peter? I have a GS and was looking at a Forza 350 or something like that as a practical city/B-road 2nd bike (actually 3rd as I have a V7 too) but videos of this and the Forza 750 came up and I'm now getting ideas in my head about one of these! Ridiculous as I have the GS for distance and weather protection. Just think I'd miss the oomph on the 350. However, the 750 is double the price of the 350. Another fly in the ointment is the NT1100....which I also really fancy and maybe a replacement for the GS when the warranty runs out. Probably just as well Honda doesn't have any demo bikes or my credit card would be on fire. Went to the dealer to look at the Forza and saw the X-adv in grey with the coded top box. Very, very sexy beast! I'm a bit of a short-arse at 5'8" though so it may be off the list as soon as I sit on it. Cheers.
Great comments, thank you. I would be very interested to know what you opted for, as I also saw this as a possible alternative to the RT.
@@BasilBear Hi, I ended up with a Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel.
How does this compare t the X-ADV? Same engine, same DCT. Why buy one over the other?
Both of them are hybrid maxi-scooters, except that the Forza is also a GT (more suitable for touring) and the Xadv is also a trail (more suitable for off-road). Also, the Xadv is more risky for being robbed..
Thank You Almighty God I will buy one for myself
It sounds like an interesting option but unfortunately at that price there would a lot more to choose from in many shapes and forms . : )
Maybe a Forza 500 for less money would be more appropriate.
@@vapeking466 Could be an option but then the difference in power to either the 350 or the 750 would be too small for it‘s own thing I think.
If they used the new Hornet 750 engine for the Forza 750 you‘d have a seriously quick scooter with no downside to a conventional bike at all. The 500 could then fill the gap
£10k and, only a choice of two dull colours... Why no Candy Chromosphere Red option that other countries have?
I wonder how far behind the honda integra 750 is, very similar sort of scooter but far cheaper !
Its not adv 750? Different?
And would it kill them to add Cruise Controll ?!? - So easily can some stupid, stingy decisions ruin a potentially great scooting experience 🤢 🤷♂️
Why did they put that baby wheel at the back
Nice review. I will go for an automatic this time.
Hi yes thinking of getting a new one for 24
I want this in the US
You would need to really want a scooter at that price, personally I would get an NC 750X DCT with a topbox and have a lot of change.
Much better standard of kit on the Forza for the extra £1711 over the NC DCT. TFT not LCD display, better front forks, twin disks at the front, Smart Key USB-C and self cancelling indicators. Taller standard screen. Probably a more comfortable seat and you can move your feet around.
@@stevebolton8471 probably the best equipped scooter, well it or the Yamaha T max but I would rather if I had to spend the extra on a better equipped bike, however I would just settle for an NC and keep the change.
@@stephenfleming7056 Yes, I left out the Centre Stand is standard too. I think that's £150 extra on the NC
I wish it comes to US
This, tmax 560 or Xadv…. Hmmm, any help Vidordown ?
Same.
I am Tmax addicted but I can say only XAdv can beat it ,another beast
I'm exactly the same! Lol.
I'll be buying one of these over the next so many months but I'm torn between the three.
Tbh though, I'm liking this Forza 750. Not only does it have more style than the X ADV, it also looks as nice if not nicer than the Yamaha Tmax 560 Tech & has more power.
Okay the Yamaha 560 Tech has more storage, heated grips etc but you can add heated grips to the Forza & also add side panniers.
And as for the adjustable screen, that really doesn't bother me because you could just change it to suit.
Realistically I'd rather buy the Forza out of all three & add heated grips, a new screen & an Akrapovic exhaust in due course.
I think the Forza would look mint at that point. Plus it's the cheapest to buy out of all three.
The engine of the HONDA FORZA and HONDA X ADV are the same WOW!!!
I think that they're, basically, the same engine as the NC750X, which is cheaper and still has that storage in the "Frunk". I'd go for that. I quite like scooters. They, certainly, have their place. The big advantage of having a scooter is being able to carry so much stuff and nip through the traffic, which this doesn't have. Along with my bike, I had a 200cc Suzuki Burgman, which had at least twice the storage of this.
My Forza 300 also has twice the storage space. But they had to find somewhere to put the larger engine/gearbox and physically the 750 doesnt look much bulkier than my 300. Personally I dont think the 300 is great for nipping through traffic and with the extra weight of the 750 I would be waiting in line.
You need to consider the much better weather protection, no water spraying up from underneath and ruining your shoes and pants. If you‘re not in a heavy downpour you will stay completely dry.
I also like the feet forward position, more options to stretch out on longer rides.
sad Honda has not brought this into the States....or the NT1100
Enjoyed that. CHeers Merv Aussie
The price in Australia is way too much. Same price as a Honda rebel 1100cc.
i wish the 750 had the shape of the 125/300 its the only thing i dont like
Final drive: chain... No, thank you!
Need higher screen warm grips and a turbo 😅🤣😂
Give us a manual transmission maxi-scooter, already.
Lol the price
Fancy having to hold the throttle open while having fun..oh the pain!! 😂😂😂If I ever see an old knarly 70 yr old with massive forearms, he probably toured on a Laverda or guzzi..Man up & enjoy..the more bikes become clever , the less engaging they become.its great but 10k+?? I'll have the Guzzi😂😂
Good video. Scooters are still silly AF for commuting vs a motorcycle. I smoke these maxis on a motorcycle 1/3 the price. Scooter are good for grocery shopping near home but these big boats are u reasonably large for that purpose.
big error indicatores
If Suzuki make new Burgman with 750 engine from gsx.... This Honda will be nothing....
same engine X-ADV 750
ALMOST THE SAME SWING-ARM..
ITS LOOK BETTER,& SIGNATURE GREAT DESIGN,, IS THE
YAMAHA TMAX 560 TECHMAX VERY HANDSONE LOOK,& POWERFULL
Cruise control kills ...people dose off if their not involved in riding .
It's too expensive
Camera person? Camera woman for gods sake. Get a grip!
Basically...
maxi scooter értelmezhetetlen kategória mint a városi terepjáró. A megtestesült oximoron.
Who wants to buy these ugly plastic behemoths?
There are plenty of chain-drive road bikes to choose from.
Nice garden. Don't like the scooter.
