And on MCN https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/202 ... orza-2021/
Sounds like more than the 350 Thailand has. A 400, maybe? Surely not much bigger than that.

£9k - £9.5k? Would never pay that for a scooter.

If they are to do a 750 Forza, I just hope it has some proper storage and a belt drive!

Re: New bigger Forza hinted!
Its all very puzzling (as teasers always are). If its just like an Integra and uses the same mechanical bits as an Integra, isn't it just a new Integra? Looks more like an X-ADV to me!

Re: New bigger Forza hinted!
There were rumours of a new engine for euro 5 which sits at a lower angle than the 750, hopefully giving more of a step through. That brief glimpse of the engine case does look very much like the Integra.

Re: New bigger Forza hinted!
Rumours are 800/850 for the new x adv as it will be a new motor for a smaller Africa Twin with much better dct, the integra and x adv are overdue for something new as been over 3 years now, my guess it could be a full replacement for the integra with a rename as not been a good seller, otherwise it will be a smaller lighter dct which would also be popular.

Will be good if it’s a proper Maxi Scoot. Following the style of the silver wing, Burgman and tmax.

Re: New bigger Forza hinted!
I know this is going seriously off at a tangent, but its slightly relevant in the context of a new Honda with DCT. I found this article about the DCT quite interesting.
https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/n ... ep-forward
Its quite interesting that the writer thinks that the DCT doesn't work very well on the NC engined bikes (750X, Integra, X-ADV), and sees its greatest advantage as being a semi-auto rather fully auto system. As you may know, I've only ridden a DCT scoot for around an hour when I test rode an X-ADV, where I found it...OK. Regarding the writer's issue with the X-ADV not changing down when he needed it, he doesn't say what mode he was in. I found that the only way to make serious progress was to be in S2 at all times - if he was in D mode then progress then it doesn't surprise me that it was sludgy!
