C'mon Honda! You're bringing us some pretty cool bikes this year. How about a couple of scooters too?
I'll pass since I'm not a fan of maxi-scoots but it would still be nice if they'd bring it to the US since the more scooters available the better.
Hopefully fit people that are larger than 5' 5". When my 5'10" frame sits on the Downtown 300 the seat design really confined me to feel really cramped and restricted. Hopefully the seat hump on the Forza is adjustable or at least farther back for full sized people. I had no such issues with the Kymco GTi 300.
Looks really nice, again though, not for us here in The States. bummer. I really like the PCX, a lot. So much so that I was going to buy it but the 150 engine kept me away. Now, if this sucker was around it would have been perfect (probably). It really would be nice have more choices in the 300-500 range.
I guess I will have to compare specs but Honda usually makes pretty good machinery. I don't think the Honda will be much more expensive than the Kymco either. To each his own but it's always good to have choices - even if the different choices simply mean that. I've never owned a Kymco but as a whole, they do not appeal to me.
