Description[]

After the Freeway and the Fusion, Honda released a third scooter with a name beginning with "F" : the Foresight. Honda concluded that an even more powerful machine was needed to beat rival Yamaha's Majesty. That bike was the fourth "F" : the Forza.

Honda took the Foresight frame, stretched it out, added a 13-inch rim to the front, and installed twin shocks in the rear. Power was boosted with only minimal tweaks to the engine, but a major drivetrain change was the Hyper Belt Conversion system, for more linear response.

As typified by the twin round tail lights, the Forza's exterior design resembles an updated version of the NSR250, whose sporty image made it hugely popular in the heydays of the "racer replica" in Japan. This sportiness is also evident in the instrument panel with its round, overlapping gauges—a first for a scooter in Japan. The combined braking system ensures more reliable braking.

Added to the lineup in 2002 was the high-tech Forza S, the first scooter in its class equipped with antilock brakes and an idle-stop system, which improves fuel efficiency and rider comfort by automatically turning off the engine when stopping at a red light. When the light turns green and the rider opens the throttle, the engine automatically restarts to get the bike on its way without delay.

The ABS, a welcome safety feature on a small-wheeled scooter, has only negligible kickback when activated, for natural handling, while the combined braking system assures reliable, intuitive deceleration and stopping.

The Forza also has a seat height that makes it easy to stand at a stop. U-turns are a breeze thanks to the tight turning radius and easy-to-turn handlebars. On winding roads, the Forza handles naturally and exhibits confidence-inspiring grip.
