No - its just you. The PCX is rather like the Forza 300, but the Forza 125 isn't much like the Forza 300! The Forza 125 is not too dissimilar to its predecessor the S-wing

beefed up in stature :P when a scoot of 125cc can do 99% of your needs then :?:

Forza: 2134 x 748 x 1452mm, 162kg, wheelbase 1490mm, seat height 780mm
PCX: 1930 × 740 × 1100mm, 130kg, wheelbase 1315mm, seat height 760mm

So yes, Forza 125 definitely bigger and more substantial.

Visordown have posted their review. They seem to like it, although they say £4k is a bit steep.

£4000 sure is a lot of cash for a 125, but you get more for your money from a Forza than a Yamaha Xmax or Piaggio Xevo

Does look to be a nice scoot I have to say.
With the power enough to cruise happily at 60-65 it appears to be suitable for most types of roads too. They don't appear to have sacrificed economy for the extra power either.

At present I have a Silverwing for longer journeys and a PCX for local stuff - with bikes like this coming out I would have to question my need for two bikes as this could cover both jobs.

Food for thought eh?

It might do 60-65 but it won't be a happy cruise and it won't do it uphill into a headwind.
250cc is the minimum for a do-it-all scooter imo.
