Mine is 65mph as well. '11 bike with 7.5k on it.

I have a slightly lumpy idle and had it cut out 2 days ago at the lights, so if you find the spark plug change makes a difference then please post back and I'll change mine...

I ran an Swing from new for 2 years & 12,000 miles
Never noticed revs fluctuating at tickover although tickover was 1,500 revs.
Rev limiter cuts in at 10,000 rpm (which on mine was 70mph) and I only ever got that downhill.
It's a big old scooter for that little 125 engine - much bigger than the PCX - I'd say 65 mph is about right.
I now have a Forza, and that's not any quicker off the line - although much happier cruising at 65-70.
Hope that helps
Pete

Oh yes it is.
Back to back tests have shown the Forza will smoke a PCX150 with ease.

well shame on you gn2... as 0 to 60 times on both the forza 300 and the pcx 150 is identical 13 seconds

as the pcx 150 only weighs 130 kilos (Includes all standard equipment, required fluids and a full tank of fuel-ready to ride)

The forza 300 only has a 279cc engine and at a lardy 192 kilos thats the difference on the stock scoots, the forza 300 revs to 7000 rpm to attain its o to 60, anyways wont go into too much detail...

I know we're wandering off topic here, but those figures are a surprise - my SH300 with vaguely similar engine to the Forza 300 was a rocket ship (though of course it didn't weigh very much). I recall that the SH engine was retuned for the Forza for some inexplicable reason, and if it doesn't go well, then the whole idea was pointless. The mad grunty engine of the SH was the only thing I liked about it! There again, the Bev 350 strikes me as being not too far behind the Tmax in some situations!

the late 2014 new version of the pcx 150 has a revamped engine 153cc 13.5 HP i think not too dissimilar to the new forza 125 except the forza 125 has i think is 4 valve and double cam and £1500 more money which is a lot , yet its a new machine with abs
i suppose its what your needs are, but at halfish the price of the forza 300 and 120 + mpg, the honda 150 pcx is a good buy and happy at 60mph and limiter cuts in at 72 mph but if your needs are small commutes.... im going to have a test ride on one next week these are just my thoughts , everyone`s different

No idea where you're getting your info from, you must be connected to an alternative reality vortex.

dont take thinks personal lad do your research
watched 9 vids on the forza 300 0 to 60 or 0 to 100 kph (with out taking into account speedo being out)
one here for you, the forza 300 is a great scoot, and all scoots are different

Any videos of an actual drag race between a Forza 300 and a standard PCX 150...?

When the Forza was first launched in the USA, a member of the PCX forum did exactly that.
In comparison tests between the two, in the same place, in the same conditions with the same riders swapping between both the Forza consistently beat the PCX.

For the UK, a standard PCX 125 won't even achieve 60mph once it gets some miles under its belt.

it probably did lad, not interested in 125... back on topic i think
