  • 14 Days on the road and I was in 6 countries: Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and Luxembourg.
    The Forza has it all, it can store enough luggage and it's very comfortable. I travelled alone and stayed in hotels.
    I had zero problems with this bike.

    I think Honda should sponsor you for this, it is a wonderful video. It is not so much about the bike as to a lifestyle, an adventure, feeling free from the daily craziness. I’ve had a bike licence for 30 years, but not owned a bike for many, many years. I was thinking of going back to two wheels. But couldn’t;t decide what, I was favouring the CB500X. But with the comfort, practicality, flexibility of a Scooter and having watched your video, I think I now want a Forza (300). Thanks for having so much fun and sharing it with us all. Keep riding safely and enjoyably.

    En España también viajamos largas distancias con la Forza 125, solo que con buen clima, sol y pudiendose bañar en la playa o la piscina, con una jarra de cerveza bien fria.

    A wire clip to hold the rear brake lever against the handlebar was an easy and useful fix.

    Very nice scenery!!! I just test rode one recently and I was very pleased and surprised coming from a Yamaha NMAX. I know the Honda is a maxiscooter but it is definitely much more comfortable and I suppose for longer trips as well. Thinking of getting maybe the new Forza 300 when it comes out.

    Honda makes the best scooters in the world. Even the Honda SH models.
    In Italy, the Honda Scooters are more popular, as the Vespas.
    I think, in Italy is also a Honda Scooter factory ?
    My scooter 125 cc, 4-stroke, is an old Yamaha Cygnus 4 NB.
    But he is made in France by MBK. (Before named Motobecane)
    Sounds crazy. But very good made, and runs more than 20 years.

    My longest trip so far was a circle around Czech Republic, 1600 km in 5 days.. It was AWESOME! :D This scoot is comfy, light, can pack shit loads of stuff, has low consumption, almost no insurance cost - PERFECT for people who are comfortable going around 100 km/h and just enjoy the scenery :) From day one, when I bought it I am happier every day. Zero maintenance. Zero problems. *cheers*

      Hi. I am glad to hear that. Basically we just bought a new car, but when I look on those scenery, it makes me wonder to make a gift to wife and to buy this Forza. :) This kind of freedom you can experience only on motorbike. Do you think it can handle two adults in these kind of conditions? We were talking a lot about travelling on motorbike together, so I am glad I found this nice Honda. Thank you from Czech Republic :)

      @@cednicek I am also from Czech Republic :D We go in two people often, if you weight together up to 180-200 kg than the scoot should handle it fine. But to be honest, if you have motorcycle A license, go for Forza 300. That extra 7kW really makes a difference in the end. But if you have just B license, Forza 125 is also fine, just dont expect miracles out of it :) I love it, everytime I start the engine, I am 100% sure that it will get me from A to B and back home to A :)

Just after watching and knowing we just bought a new car with my wife, I am thinking to make a surprise for her and buy this great motorbike to a enjoy smiliar trip. We have been talking about it for a while, so maybe it is time...for this particular scooter I don't need a driving licence other than for a car. Only thing I am bit afraid of is whether it can handle two adults on these kind of conditions and hills... Thank you so much for this eyes opening video, kind of motivation for me! Have a great day

    • @cednicek

      If anybody can help me to confirm this scooter has enough power for two adults and this kind of traveling, I would be glad :) I don't expect any sport ride as it is obvious due to low power, but for general traveling it might be enough. I don't have any experience with motorbikes, so my question might sound sily. Thank you so much

      Ging prima in de bergen.
      Bergopwaarts op langerekte hellingen ging ie vaak toch nog 100km/uur. Alleen op de echt steile stukken soms maar 55km/uur. Maar viel over het algemeen niet tegen voor een 125cc. De motor is krachtiger dan de meeste andere 125cc motoren.
      Afremmen op de motor deed ie goed. Maar dan moet wel het startstop systeem uit, want anders slaat de motor af.

      No, I haven't. I just followed my TomTom Urban Rider with the option winding roads.

    Wat nam jij allemaal mee voor zo een trip?
    Ik ga iets gelijkaardigs doen, alleen naar de vogezen voor een week..

      Ik sliep in hotels, dus heel veel heb je niet nodig.
      Ik had een bandenreparatieset bij me, een plaatje voor onder de jiffy voor zachte grond en verder niks bijzonders.
