Mark et al. I'm a senior rider, and have owned both the 750 and the 350 in the past 8 months. The high weight of the 750 was the reason for me trading down to the 350 recently. Younger owners may not notice manoeuvring weight. Perhaps being from a scooter (cvt) background, I love the 350. I think its what 90% of bikers would be happy with, if only they'd try it! The 750 has rider modes, small underseat storage, 70mpg, excellent digital dash. The 350 has traction control, (as 750), but is all you need instead of rider modes. Larger underseat storage, 80-85mpg, analogue dials. Here's the crunch: Forza 750 UK price £10399 (July 22), Forza 350 £5699. In my opinion, the lower price option would satisfy many people. The 750 would perhaps appeal more to bikers trading down from a powerful sports bike. (Its a motorcycle underneath the scooter clothing). The 350 would appeal to a rider progressing up through licence advancements, scooter riders looking for a touring capable mount. In other words, people trading up!

I'm inclined to agree about the Forza 350 being all you need Geoff. I have one currently and it's a really useful machine, and also a CB650R. I'm thinking of combining both my current bikes into a single bike, and the Forza 750 seems to fit the bill for me. I think a test ride is on the cards. Great review Mark, thank you.

Good review Mark, although the Forza 750 is not for me. I have a Forza 350 which is a brilliant bike and I'm really happy with. The 750 seems to be a NC750 which Honda have played around with to call it a scooter. I can't see the point of spending 10 grand on a bike that does not have an adjustable windscreen, poor stowage, is relatively heavy and has a chain drive. I think Honda have missed a trick with this one and perhaps an uprated Forza based on the 350 would of been the way to go.

Hi, i owned xmax 300 for four years, an drove 30k km with it. Now i bought a year old forza 750, with 3000km. All that i can say is that the bike is brilliant, it brings smile to my face every day. I drove friend's tmax 530 many times, and i can tell honda is much much better. No drama, more smooth, more relaxed, and more secure feeling. I Installer givi 56l top case, and two givi side cases 36l, set and ready for big trips. Cheers🙂

Surely a more shape compatible top-case could have been found. A lot of care and effort has gone into designing a lovely sleek machine and the appearance has then been ruined by the addition of an incongruous cube. Nice scooter. Too much engine and insufficient room under the seat. Shame about the chain drive.

I have a bike (a Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 1700) and a scooter a Suzuki Burgman 650 AN Executive (both no longer sold in Australia). I love both of them for different reasons but the one thing I would say is ride what you like - put aside any prejudices or preconceptions and take one for a spin. This one, the Yamaha TMAx, the Suzuki 650 if you can get one or any other maxi scooter. You'll be surprised once you hit the motorway. They easily keep up with all the big boys and are just as if not more comfortable. This one doesn't have cruise control which is a negative but then not a lot of other bikes do (the Suzuki doesn't but the Kawasaki does).

Nice review as usual Mark. I test rode the Yamaha Tmax, but didn't like the high seat, and the high, monotonous revs. It felt to me like a jet-ski on wheels, and not the kind of machine I would want to go any distance on, despite the cruise control and electric screen. I then test rode the Forza 750. I loved the low revving, torque laden engine, the great V-twin sound, the relaxing ride, and of course the amazing, and unique to Honda, dual clutch transmission. In other words all the things that you were impressed with in your review. And yes, I bought one, despite the lack of cruise control and electric screen, which I've had available on several BMW touring bikes and rarely used. Besides, at 5'-8'', the stock screen is perfect for me. I think the Honda Forza 750 is a great touring machine with good weather protection, and I'm looking forward to doing lots of miles on mine. Thanks Mark.

@@marksimpson5218 Hi Mark, I’m still running the Forza in and haven’t yet done any real distance. However, I’ve owned and toured on maxi scooters before and found them to be very suitable for long distances. Having done 300 miles on the Forza, I think it will prove to be the best yet. It’s very comfortable and very good on fuel. I think the engine was built for touring. The torque comes at very low revs, and it throbs and sounds like a 90 degree V twin, which makes for a very pleasant and enjoyable ride. I intended to visit some friends in the south of France as soon as the restrictions are lifted, without hesitation. You should try one.

I haven't ridden this one, but I test rode the original X-ADV (my current ride is a Yamaha Tmax). I wasn't overwhelmed with the X-ADV as I didn't like the engine character - its seemed vibey and burbley compared to the turbine smooth Tmax, and I was surprised that the super-duper hi-tech DCT gearbox didn't seem to add much to the riding experience over the very simple cheap CVT that the Tmax has! The X-ADV felt quite slow and ponderous, but I know it is deceptive as it out performs the Tmax - its all about the torque obviously. From video reviews of this Forza, I think that Honda have improved it compared to the last X-ADV - it sounds a bit less ponderous - its got a little more power, and I guess they've tweaked the electronics and the DCT to give it a more lively feel. I'm seriously considering a Forza to replace my current Tmax, but I still feel its a head vs heart thing. The Forza is probably the most sensible, but the Tmax is just such fun and it really gets to you!

Can't help feeling that Honda missed a trick (and sales) by not having a final belt drive. It really is a revamped Honda Integra which never was a big seller. A 300c scooter would be a much more practical choice with its adequate performance, better underseat storage, and clean final drive. However, it's nice to have choice of different bikes and what one rider dismisses another falls in love with.

I see below, someone saying Forza 350 is all you need .............. Well I'm trading my 350 in for a Forza 750. Recently did a tour of Ireland and some poorly surfaced roads were killing my back (even though I have upgraded YSS rear shocks). It's a by-product of having so much un-sprung weight on the rear wheel. The 750 has motorcycle rear suspension, which is far superior. Yes the downside is the size and weight, but the weight is low down and I hope i'm going to be fine with it (I'm 69). Love being able to shift my legs around on both of them.

Good review, sounds good too. This though is not a scooter, more an automatic motorcycle. Also for what it is I feel its far too expensive as are many of these so called maxi scoots. The problem is that once you go beyond 400cc its hard to have a larger engine connected by one bolt through the swingarm. I currently have a kymco xciting 400i. A true maxi scooter and £3.500 cheaper than this bike. I could not justify the extra layout for this. The kymco is more than capable of doing what I require and will quite happily cruise all day long at motorway speeds so touring is no problem. Also more storage as standard and I suspect better economy, cheaper insurance and running costs to boot. But each to their own I say. Again thank you for an informative review.

I think the important differentiation between scooter and motorbike is that a motorbike's swinging arm never carries the engine. Bodywork, automatic transmission or small wheels is not an exclusive feature that defines the difference. I'd say the Forza with its frame mounted engine is a motorbike with weather protection.

How is a 750cc with DCT come cheaper than a 560cc TMAX? TMAX is more expensive than a 650cc BMW scooter actually.

@nilobeebee 7 ай бұрын
I think TMAX got used to ZERO competition for so many years that's why they're priced at a premium. The Kymco AK550 is practically a replica of the TMAX but at half the price and a lot faster.

@@GS-xg4nz Hi The Burgy "was" a great bike and incredibly comfortable. It would certainly move on for a 400 and was not too bad two up. However in the end after looking at lots of reviews I finished up going back to a geared bike and bought a brand new Tracer 700 which is actually exactly the same as the 2021 Tracer 7 but a 2020 model. I was also tempted by the Honda NC750 DCT but after speaking to a mate who had one for a while I went with the Tracer. Mark did a really good review on the Tracer 7 and it swayed it. The reason I went back to ageared bike was I just wanted a bit more oomph on the overtakes as my wife has decided she likes bikes and wants to do a bit of touring "much to my surprise" and the Tracer ticked all the boxes. It is great as a solo ride and fine two up as my wife is very petite and to be honest probably the best pillion I have ever had. My mate who had the NC750 DCT for a while had also gone to a Tracer 700 and he said the Honda was a bit under powered and a bit uninspiring. I hope you find the right bike for you and would love to know what you get and what you think of it.

@@johnbateman3244 Thanks for replying. Yeh, the Tracer is a great machine, the reviews of the newer ones are excellent. My main bike is a GS but I find that overkill for nipping about in town and some days I just want something simple with storage options. I have a V7 as well but I don't want to 'deface' that beauty with a top box! TBH, I should probably just stop watching YT reviews as they make me want new bikes. The Forza 350 or Burg 400 makes more sense for what I need but I do like the idea of this bigger more powerful scoot for relaxed B road stuff. Used prices hold up well. They want £5K for a mint 2019 Burgman. I can get a new one for £5999 so why would I take the chance? I love the Tmax looks too but v expensive for a 2nd bike. ! One thing that has come to light is service intervals and no Yam or Suzuki dealer in my city. 5 hour round trip but I have a great local Honda dealer and the Forzas have excellent 8000-mile service intervals so I suspect it'll be a Forza. Oh, and I saw the grey X Adv in the flesh yesterday...wow! Cheers

Much as I enjoy all of your reviews Mark, I'm surprised this time you seem uncritical of the quite absurd weight and profligate over-power of this machine. It achieves nothing more than the Forza 350 which is plenty capable of two-up, fast touring over long distances at half the price and arguably in better comfort. What more would anyone want?. Why would any person be willing to pay over 10 grand for a scooter that doesn't really deliver any quicker time from A to B or in any more comfort than something costing far less? Once you've enjoyed the "thrill" of slightly better acceleration at slightly lower rpm there is nothing left but the cumbersome weight that you have to push around once you've stopped.
