The 125 is my choice of Forza, it also will have the electric screen, and lockable glove box updates, the range is increased by 140kms on the same 11 litre tank over the 300, has 5 litres more storage, stop start, 20 Kgms lighter. But what I really like is the ESP engine, the cooling tank which is bolted direct to the engine, so no radiator or hoses.

Going back to Generalpurpose's original recommendation of the original Honda 300 Forza , bought 2nd hand. what is peoples opinion now? The new forza looks good , but has a quite high saddle height a sit up riding position and all the E4 paraphernalia,the original Forza looks to have a more laid back riding style feet,forward, good reliability,decent mpg and storage .I am considering changing my 1999 250 majesty, ( just been up to Lochinver, last week,never missed a beat) but quite fancy a change. And dont want anything over 300 . B

I can honestly say I like my current 2nd hand 2013 Forza 300. I put 7k miles on since I got it and it's been comfortable and reliable.

I like the heated grips and the top box.
I still have not mounted the high screen and may never do
I have the seat hinge weakness as my seats does not hold up by itself

but other wise I would recommend the old version but I haven't seen or ridden the new one...
