Looks good but as has been said, perhaps a grand or so too much.

The H2 or the Forza?
H2 is probably many grand too much, the Forza UK price is yet to be announced.

I heard the price will be close to 90% of the Forza 300 price.
More than the current S-wing.
In Europe they are going to have a reduced promotional price for the release period. They may do the same here.

It will probably be a similar price to the Yamaha Xmax.

4 feckin grand for a flash looking, pointy 125 scoot?
I can pick up a lovely looking pointy 2014 CB500X for less than that.
I think I can wait.
BTW:-
Two H2s in local bike shop this week and the H2R in, later this week. Interesting looks too. Trellis frame in green to aid supercharger cooling and add some flex whilst harking back to earlier years in terms of (frame) looks. Paint is a strange thing. I'll stop as I am digressing.

Its got no more than 15 horses.
70 mph maybe on the flat but not uphill or into a headwind.
It can hit 80 (actual) on the flat before the rev limiter cuts in.
HP isn't everything, 50cc can take you over 130 mph

i thought i posted this but somat went wrong nice to see its a revvy engine set up, slight lag then up to 7000 rpm till the speed catches up, will be fun to ride, some same weight or 1 gram dr pulleys would get the revs down yet attain pickup and better top speed for the a roads etc
indicated 60mph at 8500 rpm

You posted it in the other thread over on the general maxi forum.
It all seems to follow what Honda are saying about concentrating on power delivery at mid range and top end. Definately a revvy little thing.

silly old age :lol:the yam 125 is revvy as well , gps on the one below shows 112 kph when scoot saying 123 kph
but when you look at the same rides with dr pulleys in them the revs drop only at the higher speed/rev limits, so would be better
