How Practical Is It?

The Forza makes light work of heavy traffic. It weighs just 162kg. This makes it more agile when filtering through traffic. Riders feel confident and in control thanks to its substantial, commanding riding position, even with its compact size.

Highlights
    Smart key system The Honda Smart Key system makes ownership easier. Keep the key in your pocket to work the ignition, unlock the seat, and control the optional 45L top box. This keyless system uses IRDF signals between your bike and the fob. The system has a neat trick: the optional top box locks by itself when you walk away with the Smart Key—a feature that helps you feel more secure
    Low maintenance With Honda's reputation for reliability and durability, the Forza 125 requires minimal maintenance and servicing, saving time and money in the long run.
    Versatile and adaptable The Forza 125's compact size and agile handling make it suitable for navigating city traffic and tight spaces, while its comfortable seating arrangement and ample storage capacity make it practical for everyday use and longer trips.

    What's It Like Onboard?

    ​​Onboard the Honda Forza 125, riders can enjoy a comfortable and stylish ride. The Special Edition seat provides extra comfort, while the floor panel set adds a touch of elegance and sportiness to the scooter. The optional 45L Smart Top Box offers additional storage and convenience for longer journeys.

    Highlights
      Electric screen The electric windscreen stands out as a brilliant feature. You can adjust it through 180mm of travel with just a button press on the left handlebar. This smart design guides airflow around and over your head to shield you from wind and keep things quiet at speed. You can lower the screen in the city for better cooling—showing off the Forza's ability to handle both urban rides and touring.

      Underseat storage The Forza 125 shines at being practical. The underseat storage compartment gives you 53.5 litres of space—enough room for two full-face helmets with space left over. You can split this area to fit a helmet next to rain gear or A4-sized bags, which makes it great for daily use.
      Seat height and riding posture he Honda Forza 125 looks substantial for a 125cc scooter. Its 780mm seat height remains available to riders of all sizes. Most riders can place their feet flat on the ground at stops because of this height, which boosts confidence during tight urban manoeuvres.

      The riding position deserves special mention. The Forza gives riders a relaxed, integrated position with commanding control and excellent visibility, unlike competitors that force a hunched posture. Riders experience less back strain on longer trips thanks to this upright stance. Taller riders also find plenty of room to stretch out.

      The one-piece, twin-height seat design makes the Forza unique. Its plush, padded surface supports your lower back well, which solves a common issue with many scooters. The flat floorboard lets you position your feet flat or stretched forward, based on your trip's needs.

      What's It Like to Ride?

      ​​Riding the Honda Forza 125 is a smooth and exhilarating experience, thanks to the liquid-cooled, 4-valve enhanced Smart Power Plus engine. The Honda Selectable Torque Control ensures traction on wet roads, while the 5-inch TFT Meter keeps you informed with essential information at a glance.


      Highlights
        Enhanced Smart Power+ (eSP+) engine This four-valve, water-cooled SOHC powerplant packs either 10.7kW at 8,750rpm with 12.3Nm torque at 6,500rpm or 11kW at 8,750rpm with 12.2Nm torque at 6,500rpm based on model year. These numbers might look modest, but they deliver impressive ground performance.
        Acceleration and top speed in ground use Quick getaways from standstill matter a lot in daily commuting. The Honda Forza 125 shines here - it covers 0-200m in just 13.3 seconds. You'll leave most vehicles behind at traffic lights.
        Smooth and responsive handling The Honda Forza 125 offers a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience with its smooth acceleration and responsive steering, making it easy to maneuver through city streets and highways.

        Running Costs & Safety

        The Honda Forza 125 offers competitive running costs, with efficient fuel consumption from the eSP+ engine. The Smart Key system and optional accessories like the Smart Top Box provide added value for everyday use. Additionally, the reliable performance and longevity of Honda motorcycles ensure low maintenance costs over time.

        Highlights
          Fuel efficiency and range insights The Honda Forza 125's efficiency numbers are truly impressive. Official WMTC test cycle figures show about 41.7km/l (118mpg), with some sources reporting even better results at 42.7km/l (121mpg).

          Real riders typically get between 100-109mpg (35.4km/l to 38.5km/l), which beats almost any other powered transport option. The scooter's Idling Stop system helps achieve this efficiency. It cuts the engine after three seconds at a standstill with the brake on, then starts instantly when you twist the throttle.

          The 11.5-11.7 litre fuel tank and great efficiency combine to give you about 500km (310 miles) between fill-ups. Most urban commuters will visit gas stations weekly rather than daily - exactly what Honda wanted for the Forza 125. Current fuel prices make this premium scooter a smart economic choice compared to public transport or car commuting in the long run.
          Idling Stop system and how it works The Forza 125 saves fuel in many small ways. The Idling Stop system makes the biggest impact. The engine shuts off after three seconds when you stop and hold the brakes.

          The system starts up instantly with a throttle twist. Three technologies make this possible:

          ACG (AC generator) starter for quiet, smooth restarts

          Swing-back system that returns the crank to optimal position

          Decompression mechanism that reduces cranking resistance

          You save about 7% more fuel compared to riding without the system. The system also watches battery levels and turns off to prevent draining.
          Emergency stop signal (ESS) Most safety features stay hidden until you need them. The Emergency Stop Signal function works this way. The system flashes both rear indicators at once to warn vehicles behind when you brake hard.

          The ESS works by itself when it spots emergency braking at higher speeds. This extra visibility could save you from getting hit from behind during sudden stops in busy city traffic.

          A Honda engineer puts it simply: "The bikes are so small that it's hard to see the stop lights, so this function helps them stand out". This simple but effective safety feature shows Honda's focus on protecting riders.
