Thank`s for this video. I Bought last August -23 model, Falcon Gray. There is few small differecies vs. -22 model. Nice to know some other scooter riders in Finland!
Thank you for the comments! Right, models from -22 and -23 had slight differences; mostly on design of front lights and dashboard, I guess. Nice to know other Finnish scooter riders. We were lucky to buy Forza 350 early enough - now it looks like it is no more sold in Finland as new (only Forza 750, ADV 350, and PCX 125).
Thank you for making such a comprehensive and informative (if a little long) video about the Honda Forza 350. Excellent video quality and really nice music which did not drown out the important narrative. Nice to see you demonstrating safe riding too and keeping to the speed limits. But most impressive is your excellent command of English, both spoken and written and your beautifully clear diction. This was a very professional production of which you should be very proud (and so should your English teacher!) Best wishes from Ireland! ☘
Thank you so much @johnhoulihan8986 for your kind and encouraging comments and wishes! I'm really happy to hear them. ☺This motivates me to make new videos in the future, likely shorter and more focused on specific topics. Special thanks for your remarks on the language. I have to admit that I used ChatGPT to help me for the written text, while the diction was my own. 😀
Thank you for the video. It was very in depth and informative as I think you covered it from end to end. I am looking to buy a new 2024 model before the 2025 model lands here in Australia. I am not real keen on the new 2025 dash and I hope they have good run out prices on the 2024 model. Thanks again mate
Many thanks for the comment! :) That's a good plan. I also bought an old model (2022) in autumn for a discount price, and started to use it in the following sping (2023).
Thanks for the video and introducing the features. This opened up a lot my understanding of the Forza 350 and I actually bought one for myself. One undriven '22 model was found in a dealer's warehouse. I've been riding mainly big sport bikes for decades, but in recent years I've been thinking about something like this scooter. I had a 1000 cc sport bike, which I mostly only used for work trips occasionally at Espoo - Helsinki - Vantaa area. I believe in this case that kind of scooter works for me much better and being also significantly cheaper in terms of operating costs.
Thanks a lot for the comments. I'm glad that the video was helpful. :) You we lucky to find an undriven one, since it looks like this model is no more being sold in Finland. It is a nice scooter, isn't it? Have fun and safe rides.
Sorry, I may have been unclear... I meant that there is not need to change gears because the scooter has no gears (but continuously variable transmission).
i was trying to understand why the forza would not start 9 out of 10 times. i was ready to go and complain with the dealer, but i bumped into this video,..... i wasnt pressing the rear brake hard enough!!.. thank you for this super informative lecture.
Same here about pressing the rear brake, also the speedometer is 10% off easy maths to figure out. There's only two features I would want Honda to add, the parking brake (US models of the 300cc had them) and start stop technology (They've done it on the 125cc versions).
Thank you for your video! It's really well explained and comprehensive. Good job! And really nice landscape too! Can you tell me about rain and cold protection in legs and upper body? Thank you
Thank you so much for your nice feedback @oputocapo ! Legs and knees are rather well protected from the wind, and to some extent, from rain. Windshield protects upper body a bit, but is not perfect. Last summer I rode a couple of times in rain and noticed that for any longer rain, a waterproof coat is needed.
Hi i also have a 2022 Honda Forza 350 i love the bike . I see you have a GPS ? or a phone with a speed in KM / H i would like to know wear you got it did you as thay say Down load it from the Internet do you have the addreass to it thank you i enjoyed your viedo . Thank You
Thank you for the comments! Yes, it was my phone (Samsung with Android) where I had downloaded a GPS speedometer app from the Google Play Store. If you have an Android phone, just go to the Google Play and search for GPS speedometer. You will find several options.
Yes, I think it should be possible to download GPS speedometer apps to iPhones, too. However, I have no experiences on iPhones. Could anyone else in this forum help and tell how to download a speedometer app to an iPhone?
Any more videos? 😊 Thanks for da very informative content.. I also made my Forza 350 purchase today, lookin for nice weather on this late spring to start riding arround Helsinki area. By the way i live in capital city area (Viikki) in Finland. As i saw your ride in this vid you was rindin arround Vikki - Itäkeskus alue.. keep on riding & my greetins.😊
Thanks a lot for your comment and greetings. :) I'm planning to make a short video about Forzas' storage compartments; let's see when I get it done. And congratulations, you made a good choice!
I don't know. Does anyone else know? The manual says that the maximum load of the under seat storage is 10 kg or 22 lb, but does not tell the exact size in liters. Many sources claim the under seat compartment holds two helmets. My own experience is that my full-face helmet fits into only one (rear) position. I store other stuff in the front position. I'm planning to make a video to show the storage compartments and how much they fit.
Love scooters myself as a 49 years of motorcycling. Got to have both. But as an ageing chap, the scooter will be the most useable as my frame declines
Thank you very much! It was an honor to get a comment to my video from someone with so long experience on motorcycling. 🤩

Thank you for the useful information. I bought a 2022 forza today that rode 3000km secondhand.😊 👍
Thank you! I'm glad to hear the video was useful. You made a great choice. Enjoy your new scooter. :)

I’m planning to buy a Forza 350, maybe the my 2025.. absolutely entertained, best review style !ever!
Thanks a lot for the comment! :)
Thank you for the information. Great video for a prospective buyer. 👍
Thanks a lot for the comment. Videos by others were helpful to me, so I wanted to make an informative video too.

I’m not sure, but you said in the garage, uphill, “there s no need to change gear, just add throttle”! Pls sir, what gear?
Sorry, I may have been unclear... I meant that there is not need to change gears because the scooter has no gears (but continuously variable transmission).
i was trying to understand why the forza would not start 9 out of 10 times.

There is quite a big speedo error on mine Forza!

How many liters of storage under the seat capacity?

@@scottpeterMA Thank you.
I feel like newbies again.
Likewise, every spring when the weather gets warm enough for riding here in Finland and the season starts. :)
