The Forza name has long been a powerful force in Honda’s two-wheeled line-up. Its history as a premium mid-size scooter goes back to the year 2000: the first model set the template, delivering a lively ride, plenty of storage room and an innovative combined braking system. It was well received throughout Europe, where owners found its multi-role capability useful in every aspect of daily life.

While retaining its trademark mix of sporty and GT character, the Forza 300 has constantly evolved. In 2004 it gained Honda’s S MATIC electronically controlled CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a theft-deterring Smart key, highly efficient PGM-FI fuel injection for the engine and space for two full-face helmets under the seat.

2005 saw the addition of ABS brakes and in 2008, luxurious touches like an audio package and speakers plus upgraded S MATIC (with phased auto shift mode) and Combined ABS brakes were added. In 2014 it was introduced to us here in the USA for the first time. In 2016 it moved on again, as the Forza 300 with a new ‘sit-in’ design large enough to carry two people in total comfort, even at highways speeds.




2018 marks the unveiling of a radically revised Forza 300. It’s following in the hugely successful wheel tracks of its little brother, the Forza 125 (of which 30,000 have been sold in Europe in the 3 years since its launch) and, while retaining the best attributes of its ‘GT’ nature it’s now lighter, smaller, smarter and sportier. The Forza 125 was never sold here in the USA but we did have its sibling for a little while, the PCX125 before it turned into what we know today as the PCX150.





Now, to the big question that I’d say a lot of you probably have on your mind… Is this new and changed-up 2018 Forza 300 releasing in the USA? I can’t speak on that topic at this very moment and tell you yes or no. I’m sorry, I know that’s a terrible answer haha. However, if you want to see this model released in the USA then you need to contact your local Honda dealer and let them know you want to see this updated model on our side of the pond. Use social media and comment on Honda’s Facebook and Twitter pages to let them know that there is indeed a market for this scooter here in the states. They listen to feedback from consumers more than you know…

The 2018 Forza 300 has a crisp, sporting new look and much tighter, sharper dimensions than the previous design. Its wheelbase and length are reduced, while it’s also narrower, but with a higher seat height for improved visibility. Even with a new larger diameter rear wheel, it is 26.45 lbs (12kg) lighter thanks to a revised chassis and redesigned frame, which boosts acceleration, top speed and fuel efficiency.



Smoothly adjustable, the new electric screen provides maximum wind protection at speed­ or ultimate freedom around town. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) has been added and can be switched on and off from the left handlebar.

Revised instruments serve up extra information digitally, in support of the analogue dials and all lighting is LED. The Smart Key offers control of the optional 45-liter top box.

maybe because body design and the wheelbase and the windshield position.

vespa shorter wheelbase and tall

forza longer and perhaps slightly lower (it feel taller cant reach feet to ground, probably from the wide seat) than vespa..

plus vespa windshield more upward position compare to forza leaning more on rider

hence the vibration

review said honda got this wheel system that calibrate the both wheel spin

dunno bout xmax..

for the look, i like honda more

i guess this scooter belong in maxi scooter family, with that body size.

for the speed, i dont think people buy it for speed, rather have it to easy going round the city or perhaps 1-2hrs ride. eventho the speed quite good for me.

long distance would be much comfy than those smaller scooter and moped, since its wider seat, larger underseat compartment and longer wheelbase.

it is built for city use, people will tell you kapchai better can cilok between vehicles, but they forgot with scooter, you can tuck both legs between the comfort larger footrest and covered with its front fairing, covered your shoes and pants in drizzle rain (hujan renyai). No shifting, no worried when to pull clutch lever.

when you need to buy something almost everyday, like groceries, clothes shopping, etc, the large compartment with rear storage box, this will be my best option. I will get less headache in the weekend or anytime when going to KL to buy something or do anything.


the tech somehow, will come with pain in the ass price tag too.

I am guessing it will come to Malaysia in 250cc and pricier than XMAX250, perhaps 25K++

Yamaha XMAX250 OTR cash price is RM22,571.00 in Sin Hoong Hin Setapak.

1 more thing to add, I do not know whether some of you will feel this or not...

If you going to a bit higher scale place, for example Pavilion (compared to Pertama Complex)

Some people will concern on their status/perception of people around looking at you.

Easy to digest or understand what im trying to say, riding this to Pavilion


Or riding this to Pavilion.


wife oso dont feel ashamed to ride behind you to Pavi.

me with slippers shorts and tees too.

the only concern for this is, will xmax250 and forza250 have high sell volume to get its spareparts ready anytime at the bike shop?

Waiting Forza launch malaysia

Plus I was told Forza malaysia 300cc

Asked big wing setapak, more than 30k

It will reach us by approx Nov 2018, the delay due to the name issue.

Pondan

Get someone from inside to pass
