forza..

Not ridden the Forza 125 but, by all accounts it's the best one out there, although the Xmax isn't far behind. Tend to agree with new on a 125, unless you know the previous owner that is, most get thrashed by a teenager for a couple of years and scrimped on servicing

If your buying new and don't want flat board I agree the forza 125 appears good (not tried one yet) but I'd go Suzuki burgman 125 as 0% over 4 years I recall

And in the unlikely event that you are tempted by a small Peugeot, I would resist at all costs.

OK can sort of understand that cos most are Chinese. What about the SATELIS 125?

The Satelis is a totally different from the smaller Peugeot scooters. It shares its engine with the Citystar but is more of a maxi and can be had with ABS.

I had 3 mk1 Satelis and took each one past 20k miles with little trouble.

I really like my Nmax 125, its brill around town and only £2700 otr with a 2 year warranty.
I havent tried the other bikes, but coming from a few 750cc I like the handling and small size.
Overtook a bus the other day at 60mph (indicated) but I would not want to go near motorways.

I did not want to spend a lot of money in case I did not like the 125 scoot scene, so I really only looked at the Nmax vs PCX (second hand). But having owned one now for 6 months I have gotten the bug.

Big price difference between the top end 125 & the Nmax, go used or get an Nmax.

i like the 125 innover in town its light and easy to park, not a scooter i hear you cry so i will settle for my sh so easy to get on and off ,plus i can carry the terrier on it due to the flat floor

I would not go for the 125burgman I think it would be underpowered with all that plastic on it, plus the weight of that great big seat

Thanks all, it does seem that the Forza is my best option. I hope Honda release an updated version of the 300 in the next couple of years.

isnt there a 300 already out in the forza range ? or was that the pcx ?
