Hi Ken
The Forza is a great bike especially if you carry some extra weight as I do. The tyres are pretty wide as well, they are quite durable (I have done over 10,000 on this set) and I am certain I would lose my nerve before they would lose it on a corner. Service is pretty cheap as well.
Other nice features are loads of under seat storage, a power socket in the lockable front box, a good instrument layout with real needles not a grey lcd that you cant see in the sun. I am getting 27 to 30 km/litre.
It is big for a scooter though, long, fairly wide and heavier than most town scooters so parking is not quite as easy. I have has a PCX as well and if you are primarily going to use it around town then this is the king of the Honda range I feel a brilliant bike and I would opt for that.
A couple of other Forza points, I am about to get rear wheel bearings and seals sorted at 10,000 km which I think is poor and also if you ride without your hands on the bar the front bar / wheel starts to waggle. No idea why but it isn't just my bike or just me, more than 1 of us on more than 1 forza have found this.
I moved to the Forza from the pcx because I am 120 kg + and I wanted to be able to do some longer rides. The furthest in a day so far, Pattaya to Chiang Mai, the highest I have been, the summit of Doi Inthanon (which I also did on a PCX150).
Hope this helps.
