The electronically-operated windscreen can be easily adjusted through a 140mm range as you ride. The height can be altered by simply pushing the button – up or down – on the left handlebar to suit the ever changing weather conditions – reducing noise and fatigue.

The Forza has excellent, secure storage capacity that’s essential for city life. It features a handy ACC plug to charge up your mobile and enough under-seat space for two full-face helmets, so there’s less to carry once you’re where you want to be.

The new LCD instrument panel is designed to combine a stylish analogue speedometer feature and allows the rider to see all information clearly at a glance, night or day.

The bright, new LED headlight and taillight – indicators too – are designed as part of the Forza’s sculpted new look. But it’s not just about style; they ensure a big presence on the road at night, improving visibility too.

The SOHC 349cc liquid-cooled engine has been tuned for fun and accelerates faster, and smoother, thanks to the V-Matic transmission. The Forza now has a higher top speed without sacrificing its reputation for fuel efficiency – you can go as far as 215 miles on a full tank.

Now, for the first time on a Honda scooter, the Forza has Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). This feature progressively monitors engine torque to control rear-wheel slip. It’s like having an extra sense of safety for cornering in the wet; but when it’s dry, a sense of fun kicks in – laying down the just the right amount of power for a quick exit.
