I think it looks good, particularly the white and blue. I like the idea of a height adjustable screen and 120 mpg is a lot better than the Burgman on the commute. Possibly a bit light for the Motorway, though. Will be interested to see if it fits taller people better than the Forza 300, which is too cramped for me. And like with the S-wing, a 200/250 cc option would be nice.

More legroom and a feet forward option would have made the 300 more appealing for me.

About 80 litres would do it

When all is said and done, its still only a 125 and will not be fast enough for A-roads no matter what the marketing hype would have us believe.
200cc version please Mr. Honda.

Yes, but Mr Honda would reply that there already is a Forza 300, even if a bigger engined version of this beast looks rather more preferable!

Yes but a lighter smaller upmarket 200 would suit some people who would turn their sniffy nose up at a bargain basement 300.

I seem to have struck a nerve with that comment.
I thought you were proud of it being cheap and THM

At the time I bought it the Forza was the best solution for my circumstances and needs.
That remains the case despite the issues I have had with it.
I don't think £4500 for a scooter is cheap.
I presume THM = made in Thailand?
Couldn't give a shit where its made so long as its reliable.

I agree, £4.5k is expensive when you can buy perfectly good ones for £2k . Mind you - maxi-scooters are about 3K+, we do insist on that luxury here..

What issues did you have with your Forza?

1: Has had a new rear brake disc and pads, sticky caliper warped the disc.
2: Currently awaiting leaky waterpump driveshaft mechanical seal repair. (very slight and scooter remains useable)

1: is common on SH model which has near identical layout in this area
2: large number of this reported. Caused by a burr on the waterpump driveshaft damaging the seal during assembly

Fortunately thus far I have escaped the fuel pump failure issue.

What decent Maxi scooters do you know of for 3k, I can only think of the Daelim...?
