- Straight from the Forza 125, this time Its the 350 version's turn.
A heavier scooter with the same chassis, and more power... Will it be much worse?

Finally somebody pushing this sweet little thing. Thanks for the valuable insight, it has made my decision what to get as a daily commuter much easier.
5 years from now, Cager will still be trying sporty scooters and saying he didn't expect them to be quite so sporty.
Nice review once again!
I expect your video to full review the Honda Forza but I love the views views in your place. That's what attracted me bro my first time to watch your vid. Love from Philippines.
I've ordered one. Just waiting for a delivery date. Great review as always
I’ve owned a Matt black Forza 350 here in Sydney for three months now
This is my 17th bike mostly sports bikes the last being a Yamaha MT09SP
I love this scooter best bike I’ve ever owned just so easy to ride
So convenient with big storage under seat
Electric windscreen
Three different feet positions
Negatives is the suspension could be better but in saying that it handles like a dream
Seat is quite high and I’m 6ft
Quality fit and finish and famous Honda reliability is outstanding
@@barryheyder8938 I've had plenty of bikes & currently have a tracer 900gt. The scoot is for my general running around & going to work etc, but my money says I'll probably get rid of the other and have this one for everything now!
Been looking for a scoot,petrolprises are stupid now,your narration and review was excellent. I’m gunna by the forzab thank u xx
Looks great, felt right the way i 've seen you riding it. I am considering to swap my 150 Piaggio Medley with something bigger and faster, that doesn't sacrifice underseat space and in town usability. Also great to see more uploads coming out from one of the first UA-cam channels i joined, ages ago. It was even old style review, mostly on top of the bike as opposed to your later video's so that brought some extra good vibes!
Beautiful city !
I have discovered that I like much more test drives than full ( boring ) reviews... man you took it all to the limit, I felt like driving with you on the back. Now anybody tell me: xmax or forza? I had Xmax 125 and man, on the roundabouts and corners I was overtaking bigger bikes...
Tnx for the review.. I like the scenery :) Did you have a chance to try out anything with piaggio 350 engine, to compare it powervise? Peace!
What you're feeling over big bumps is the heavy motor mounted on the swingarm. I had an Aprilia Scarabeo 500 and it was awful over big bumps. The Suzuki Burgman 650's motor is mounted in the frame like a motorcycle.
I've heard that shaft drive motorcycles have a similar problem with the rear suspension to feel heavy.
Hello and thanks for great review. I love the Honda 350 and the kymco xciting s 400i. Can't decide which one to go for. Are you planning to do a review on the XCiting by chance?😊
Before you decide, check spare parts availability
@@infinitydreamzz thank you,spare parts available at the dealership and online🙂
Kymco has tiny underseat storage compared to Forza. Also 3000 mile service intervals compared to 8000 miles on Honda.
The Honda will still be running long after the kymco has fallen apart and been forgotten.
@@snozzybosch7503 not necessarily. Kymco is a quality brand, that was making engines for Honda
Nice video. The Forza 350 should be sporty and comfortable if you take a look at the price. Also it has to compete with the Yamaha X-Max.
Beautiful Portugal--if we visit, can we rent scooters?
Hi Cager!
If possible can You do test new Yamaha Nmax and Xmax 125 as well?
Nmax with reshaped "nose", stronger frame and bigger fuel tank
Xmax with underpowered 9kW engine, but Yamaha claims "there is no difference".
I would like to see it in real road test.
America is such an isolated country that we don’t have many choices here !
Con la ruota alta come nel beverly 400 piaggio ,puoi spingere molto di più e non hai paura di perdere l'anteriore
I have the previous version, the 300 (279). It is an excellent machine!
I use it for Deliveroo work. It is fantastic in the city! And quite good on faster roads too. Only thing about the faster roads is that it is sitting at higher revs than is ideal for an extended period of time. It is still only a little engine and designed more for smooth acceleration than maximum and higher speeds. It is a massive upgrade on any 125 scooter! But for someone wanting a maxi-scooter, who plans to go touring or long stretches on faster roads is part of their daily commute... the Suzuki Burgman 400 is the better choice - assuming they're not splashing out about double the price to get the Yamaha T-Maz 560.
Xmax 300 or Forza 350 - what's the best in your view, Cager, and why?
My opinion is Yamaha
Better looks
More after market accessories
Lighter with bigger fuel tank
In Australia 🇦🇺 1% finance deals
Apples 🍎 and oranges 🍊
Same short ,leg room as before?
Would you prefer this to the forza 125?
Adv350 pls review if u can
If Honda sold them in the USA, I would buy it.
Yamaha sells, or at least sold, the similar XMAX.
US style concrete slab freeways, really messes with the unitized engine/swingarms of these things at higher speeds. An hour of being pounded by the full weight of the almost undampened engine swinging out back, does not for a happy lower back make....
It's a shame none of the proper maxis, with more US freeway friendly, motorcycle style, suspension layouts, are sold here. In Europe, the traditional scooter layout is much less detrimental.
What country is this?
Portugal maybe..I saw sign Lisbona
Tiff
If you ride the 300 and the 350 back to back you will see the suspension is much better on the 350... in my view at 95kg.
If honda had of put better suspension like a motorcycle then it would be alot more expensive. I have just put the givi V56 top box on mine,upped the rear suspension a bit.It has the power to go rather than ok I'll get up to speed in my own time like the 300cc forza.
Need to sort the suspension, absolutely awful over bumps
Fully agree... mainly rear schock "absorbers" which don't "absorb" a lot ! 😊
Otherwise, this is a great scooter ! I don't regret !
Agree that the suspension is the only things that lets my 350 down
In saying that it handles like a dream just doesn’t like big bumps
Thinking about a olins upgrade
@@barryheyder8938 are they available..
@@charlieboyvespa8610 Even if they are, don't expect miracles. It's a traditional unitized scooter layout, only with a big, heavy 330cc engine. That much unsprung weight, combined with limited travel and a seating position putting all weight on the tailbone, will never be comfortable at the sort of speeds the 300s enable.
Try a (freakishly expensive, but still....) TMAX instead. Or a Forza 750. Or X-ADV. They have motorcycle suspensions, and are all the better for it. Or, just get an NC750x. The new one pretty much is a scooter, as far as city mobility, coverage of all hot parts and storage goes. It takes proper MC tire sizes, an automatic, and costs a lot less than the big maxis.
@@paulnorman8274 then the servicing gets complicated the 350 is straight forward... like you touched on the forza 750 is a scooter in a motorcycle chain drive etc
Plus more money
"Like a fish in water" is NOT an expression that is used. "Like a fish OUT of water" IS used to describe something which is very uncomfortable in its current environment. We would be more likely to say, "like a pig in mud/muck/shit')".
In Dutch it’s also a saying.
It means one is really comfortable in a specific/ certain circumstance.
I liked "fish in water", made perfect sense
