High function scooter or lightweight sport tourer it's hard to say for sure. The convenient step through styling and the ease of operation that comes with a sophisticated automatic transmission suggest the Forza is a scooter, but the high-performance linked ABS disc brakes, full coverage fairing and generous storage capacity imply sport tourer. Similarly the narrow overall design, low seat height and the lightweight single cylinder engine seem to add up to scooter like urban agility while roomy two up seating, comprehensive instrumentation and fuel range of over 350km insinuate highway burner. High tech fuel injection, efficient exhaust catalyzer, oversize wheels with radial tires and a rigid aluminum swingarm only add to the confusion. So which is it? ...Both. Ride it wherever you want, you won't be disappointed.

Forza - wherever you ride.

  Features

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN

The smooth running 279 cc engine is designed to deliver strong midrange performance and is perfectly matched to the fully automatic transmission for effortless operation across a broad range.

The V-matic automatic transmission has been specifically tuned to target perhaps the two most important operating zones - immediate, strong response off the line and laid-back feel on the highway. Entertaining when you want it to be, relaxing when you don't.
Liquid cooling and a low stress engine design mean you have all day highway cruising capability without worrying about "hurting" the engine, whether you're travelling two-up or solo.
Electronic fuel injection, advanced combustion control and a number of low-friction engine technologies ensure maximum efficiency paying dividends in reduced fuel costs.
There's a dual-core exhaust catalyzer to keep emissions in check so you can feel good about riding the Forza.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

Belying the sit-in scooter riding position the Forza offers "motorcycle feel" thanks in part to the stout tubular-steel frame that provides composed, sure-footed handling.

A stiff, double -sided, aluminum swingarm adds to the Forza's handling prowess working in harmony with beefy 35mm telescopic forks. The well matched suspension components also offer excellent compliance improving ride comfort.
In keeping with its sport-touring mandate the Forza's oversized, cast-aluminum wheels are fitted with high-traction tires that offer excellent wear characteristics.
Powerful front and rear disc brakes provide right now stopping power while control is retained thanks to Honda's advanced Combined Braking System with ABS. With the Combined Braking System the rear brake lever also operates the front brake (the front brake lever operates only the front brake) enhancing peace of mind in fast-stop situations while ABS adds an extra measure of security in low traction conditions.
The Forza's low slung frame design contributes to an exceptionally low seat height that greatly enhances the feeling of security when manoeuvring fully loaded in parking lot situations.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

The Forza's sleek, contemporary bodywork offers excellent protection against the elements without the bulk found in some scooter offerings. In fact the Forza's narrow profile makes it a natural for squeezing through those narrow city spaces.

The ergonomically-shaped shaped seat offers generous, comfortable accommodation for both rider and passenger and passenger security is further aided by a cast aluminum grab rail built in to the rear of the bodywork.
A vast under-seat storage area swallows two full face helmets with room to spare and a Genuine-Honda accessory top box can add even more capacity should you ever need it.
Convenience features abound in the cockpit from dual easy to reach fairing pockets, to a 12V power outlet, to a comprehensive dash display including speedometer, clock, dual trip-meters plus fuel and temperature gauges and oil level warning light. There's even an integrated security system that makes it just about impossible to start the Forza without one of the original keys.
Powerful, twin, multi-reflector headlights that cut a wide swath through the darkness complete the impressive list of touring credentials.
