I've owned this bike since March and driven 18,000miles already. It's a massive step up in quality from my previous bike, the Yamaha N-max. The Forza 350 is extremely comfortable and I drive on it all day as part of my job.

Finally, managed to get my hands on one after waiting for almost six months. I've covered near 300 km and I'm really happy with the all round performance of it. I haven't push it's limits as yet, waiting for the 1000km breaking in milestone. The only thing I would like improved is the rear shocks. I think Honda should have used better quality gear for such a classy scooter. I, as I'm sure other owners, wouldn't mind paying a bit more for the extra quality.

Changed my BMW C400X for one of these. The Forza is ££££ cheaper, just as powerful, more economical, offers much much better wind protection, just as compact, but has double the under seat storage. I thought the electric windscreen was a gimmick until I tried it - best idea ever. I fitted Oxford heated grips which are also much better than the BM standard fit items. Its also much quieter which can be a good or bad thing. Only small gripe I have is that the blue high beam bulb on the dash, is actually brighter than the high beam itself! Lighting is good though. I cannot imagine there is a better mid-range scoot to be had anywhere.

@@diogomorais6563 Hi Diogo, I’m five months in now and still love the Forza. As you say, best thing to do is take them for a ride and pick the one which works best for you. A couple of points to add now ridden for a while. BMW brakes are much better. Forza is much more confidence inspiring to ride, can drop into a corner feeling very safe. BMW needs a new drive belt at 12k miles and will cost £1000. Forza is 16k miles and less than £500. BMW is made from higher quality components, cast swing arm and no rust after 3 years. Forza has pressed steel swing arm and is showing signs of rust around the centre stand and exhaust already. BMW dealers are first class in every way. Honda dealers……aren’t! But I will still take the Forza over the BMW in a heartbeat. Hope you enjoy whichever you choose. Both great scoot’s

@@kevinperree7764 Hey Kevin, thank you so much for taking the time to write. Your feedback on both is greatly appreciated. You also touched on points which I value greatly. Scoots aren't known to be fun to ride but I think that's defo no longer the case. I would have thought that the BMW would be the more confidence inspiring scoot but glad to hear you actually give those points to the Forza. I love the looks of the BMW tbh but the Forza looks great too and very elegant. I've owned a Honda NC750X for 8 years now and there is no rust to be found anywhere. I keep it in a fairly warm garage and never ride in the rain so that has definitely helped I'm sure. Hopefully I can avoid any premature rust to the Forza if I keep it dry and protected as much as possible. You can see that I'm more inclined to picking the Forza :). Having said that, I hear that the suspension isn't great but I suspect an upgrade to the front springs and shocks can easily fix that further down the line. Anyway, thanks again and happy riding!

I've got the Honda Forza 300cc and like it. However its jumpy going over motorway cats eyes at 80 mph, I believe the suspension on the 350 is better. I've thought of changing but decided to wait until 2023. One addition I'd like to see to the Honda Scooter range is an updated Silverwing, it could be luxury personified. I'd buy it immediately.

Re the Forza 350 suspension of telescopic forks, the nearly identical Honda ADV Forza 350, (I'm fairly certain that it is the same machine) has upside-down forks and not telescopic forks, the rear shock absorber of the ADV is a remote reservoir type, the Forza 350 is a non- reservoir type of shock absorber, I anticipate the 2023 Forza will be upgraded to the ADV specification of suspension

I’ve had my new Forza for a week now, and it’s a fantastic bike, so stable, got everything you could want on a maxi scooter. I’m glad I changed my mind from the X max. The only two nit picking faults for me are, the windscreen is quite thin material and vibrates a little. The position of the mirrors don’t give a good lane view no matter how much I adjust them, will add some blind spot mirrors to them soon, same as many other Forza owners have already done.

Love the review of the 350 but having the 300 I think it's not worth changing the 300 as it seems much better in every way. I can get well into the 80's mpg and over 90mph. Apart from a little extra bhp (which seems like it hasn't helped much) there's not much difference. The clocks are slightly updated but that seems to be it. The Forza 300 is a great scooter so if you have one already then I personally don't think it's worth the extra to "upgrade".

First I love my 2021 Forza 350. Only negative is a really heavy front wheel vibration that started once it had about 5000 km on it… almost like a speed wobble. It’s evidently quite common amongst the Forza 350s. I’m hoping to get to the bottom of it with mine… starting with wheel balancing. I haven’t hit any curbs or pot holes hard and have heard others have had similar experiences. Anyone have any info or similar experiences and potential fixes. Thanks.

Engine an absolute peach. Awful suspension definitely budget, firm and crashes over anything but smooth surfaces. Mpg definitely 80s, definitely take for a test ride as seat comfortable but leg position awkward and feet forward option too raised up giving strange sensation and leg ache quickly. 1 test ride for 2 hours then opted for sh350i. Less weight same power awesome engines. Definitely try both bikes!
