Instead of apologizing for being condescending to scooter riders; a smarter person would just not do that, and just give an objective review without coming off so negative. Food for thought.
He's being real with his viewers, don't be so sensitive
@@heezyybaby sensitive? you're obviously the one who's butthurt, cause you feel like I insulted your boyfriend. the only thing he's being real about is the fact that he thinks he's better than others.
Scooters are awesome and go uncredited for sure
especially ones that are actually a little speedy, 50s still deserve the world
@@johnbassam8831 50s Deserve to get run onto the sidewalk
@@TheGamersRace people like you, are why I live in an open carry state. If I saw you run a 50cc onto the sidewalk, it'd be nighty-night gamer ⚰️
@@liamjohnson2474 based
looks like a motor cycle to me, that thing is huge
@Trevers Reaction bigger he compares one to a Harley sportster and it’s a foot longer and weights almost as much! And he said there very similar in speed wise and power wise! That’s saying a lot!
I test drove the same scoot and was blown away. The speed, smoothness and comfort were amazing. I've been leaning towards the Burgman 400 but I'm not sure now.
did you bough one finaly?
@@ludoviccoutu7960 He did! Then died!
@@gbmike1xx565 actually I never did buy one and I'm still alive.😁
@Johnwillbegone hey im about to buy the same scooter like the video for $2500 with 20k miles, do you think is a good price ????
@@freddcast3465 I just bought one of these last week for $3K, 2,200 miles. Clean like new.
Forza = Power in italian. This model was created for italian market initially in 2005
Left lever it's rear brake an it's combined with the front brake.
It have centrifugal clutch, so... only 1 gear. The only scooter you can change gears (with + and - buttons) is Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive. I'm sure you have those in U.S.
I had a Yamaha Majesty 400 I purchased brand new! Drove it up the coast of Cali' and so many more places. I put 29000 miles on it. It was amazing, That thing held 85 mph all day long without flinching. I traded it for my first V star. Of course V star is awesome and more man like' but confess I like scooters at least as much as "real bikes"
I want to purchase my first scooter at 56yrs. old . I rented one in Gatlinburg Tennessee and I was fun
How much scooter u need for 2 ppl?
WayneP117 one because my wife will won’t to ride and I need to learn how to ride again......however I need the big bow because it weighs more
Same here man..... I'm looking for a Yamaha majesty 400 myself..but also have a virago 700.....I just love anything with 2 wheels
Amazing how smooth that thing seemed, especially for a 300cc single (probably the same one used in the CB300F) and it was doing 70+ no problem. I remember seeing the first maxi scooters like the Burgman and thought that you could legitimately tour on one, they were more comfortable than most motorcycles and had the storage space of a touring bike.
2 completely different motors
The first Maxi Scooter may have been the Honda Helix. The seat was more comfortable than other scooters, IMO. And you can definitely go long distance touring on Maxi Scooters. I met a guy on Blue Ridge Parkway that asked me to take his picture by the park entrance marquis who was going around the world on a Helix.
You can indeed tour on a Bergman That's what its .are for You know they make them up to 650cc Moore akinn to a motorcycle then a scooter
Really surprised you didn't know more about scooters as you did say your former boss owned one. Most importantly, you have more than a decent feel for this particular scoot. I found myself back in the market for another two-wheeled vehicle after having too many issues with the Lance Cabo 125 I cut my teeth on. I was actually researching motorcycles while simultaneously looking for another scooter and happened upon the Forza at a dealership in Marina Eel Rey, Ca. I really needed the Forza but wound up getting the CB500F, at the same place. Could not have been more satisfied. Hey, keep up the good work, Sean!!
I hate these reviews where guys act so blah about a riding a scooter and they just HAVE to have this whatever attitude about riding one. So annoying, just don't ride a damn scooter if your not gonna give a serious review.
I have to agree with you
I do so dearly love my Vstar Silverado, but likewise love my "granpaw scooter" (Honda Helix) too! Have taken many trips on the interstate on the little 250 Helix without any issues at all.
One thing for sure about scoots, much over 50 MPH and you really do tend to stay mostly dry. Especially if you have the nice tall & wide GIVI touring windscreen instead of the POS windscreen Honda provides. hahaha!
All the info anyone will ever need n this scooter is right here. Best job on da tube.ty
Where do you get your rider jeans? never bash scooters they're underrated and often overlooked
I just traded in my 2005 yamaha V-Star 1100 for a New Suzuki Burgman 400 and I absolutely Love it....I'm 💘ing how comfortable and fun it is to Ride a Maxi Scooter
Honda Helix type scooter. Those were the bomb back in the day, shame they stopped in the US in 2008. This looks very nice thanks for sharing. Still riding my 85 Elite 150 and loving it.
I have always liked Vespas. I wish I had one to add to my channel. Great video. I gave it a like.
I'll ride the Burgman 650 anyplace without a second thought. We did the Dragon on it without a single problem. Round trip from Chicago area. Expressway side road didn't matter. 75 mph all day if you want.
We who ride Burgmans know! Feel bad for those who can't get past the "scooter stigma." There is no more care free two wheel ride than a 650 Burgman.
@@PineyRider Don't forget the Silverwing. You cant get on one and not say you had a good time. I'm just a Honda fanboy.
@@gbmike1xx565 I don't discriminate. 2 wheels and an engine to move you along =good times. Throw in the cvt twist and go transmission and that just makes it more carefree! 🛵😁
I did a half hour Italian lesson in first school and I can tell you forza means power 😉
U guys teach a lot to us who watch thanks God Bless u and ur Amen
That intro is beautiful!
Interesting watching you pass the Honda dealer on 283. That's where I bought my 2014 Forza.
Left hand lever is the rear brake mate
I've got a 2015 and it's my favorite bike I've ever owned.
I just bought 2014 and can’t wait to ride away on it
I love mu forza ive had mine over 80.Love the mpg and storage space galore.
What about handle bar mod that will allow you to lay back 6 to 8 inches from the standard set up..?
So I stopped at Safeway on my SYM Citycom 300i and I got a little carried away with the shopping.(Never shop when hungry!) The Citycom has a large storage area under the seat and a grocery bag hook at the front. Even so I had to stuff my raison bran in my jacket. While I was figuring this out a Harley guy on his Ultra stopped to ask what my scooter was. He'd never seen one like it before. Turns out he bought a Burgman for his wife and he was having so much fun riding it, his wife wasn't getting much seat time.
I hope you got the Raisin Bran home safely.
I test drove the 600cc Silverwing back when they still making them. I was getting on the freeway and before I was in traffic I was going over 80 mph. And there was room to go. I'm looking for a Reflex 250 now and as soon as they get the new 350 ADV in the USA I'm going to try to get one of those.
That's a nice ride man
Hey guys... Just an FYI, that "open/shut" thing below the ignition is a security feature! Use the knob on other end of key to open or close off access to the key slot on ignition. As I understand it it is a feature exclusive to Honda.
Peace!!
P. Brady My Yamaha has that key feature as well
@@alklassen5035 And so does my 650 Burgman
I grabbed a low mileage (390kms) 2016 Forza 300 from an older lady this summer to replace my PCX150 and I absolutely love this ride. It's great around town and very comfortable out on the highway, and at 5' 8", I have plenty of room to "stretch out". I was still riding the scoot up until two days ago (Jan. 2nd) when we got our first bit of snow, and I'm still hoping to ride it here and there over the next few months as the fairings and windshield do a damn good job of deflecting the colder air (0' C) away from me.
U can control gears with throttle when you take off you'll hear motor on high beam u just gotta release the throttle a little bit 🤏 and then send it full throttle you can even feel the bike going up
The left brake for the back and the right brake for the front. I had a 1987 Honda scooter 150, the right foot brake for the back and the right hand brake for the front.
I own a this exact bike. I use it as my work vehicle as a doordash driver. I have motorcycles also, but I prefer it to all of my other bikes. The ride is so smooth, power band is wonderful and the acceleration is top notch. At 5'11" it's extremely comfortable. I'm able to keep my legs stretched out and lean back like I'm in a recliner on this bad boy. If you are looking for practicality, comfort, and convenience, this is the bike you're looking for. I usually like Sean's videos but this isn't really representing the Forza 300 too well.
I've found in terms of mpg per person, a car with 4 or 5 riders beats most motorcycles (save for 2 riders per motorcycle), but for solo transport cars aren't very efficient.
That's right. Riding is good for the environment!
8:43 it haves brake sensors type of thing so it doesn't matter which one you pull it will automatically brake with both tires back and front
I can get my 250 Helix up to 65 without a problem, so long as I'm riding flat, she can't push well up hill. Probably would go faster if I didn't have a 250 pound frame.
I reall See NOTHING Wrong with SCOOTERS at all. i Have My Full Motorcycle L's, & i Primarily Ride a 2016 Kymco People GTi 300 .
Im about 35min From Work a 650, 750, or 1000 Inlin 4 Motorcycles i find it to be OVERKILL In my Commuting Situation. Some may argue my Kymco 300 is OVERKILL, why no a 125, or a 150, & they'd be Right . No to say that was what you were Implying but I Reject the Notion Real Men don't Ride Scooters or refer to the as Tiny Little Scooters . The have 2 Wheels & a Motor Just like Any other Motorcycle .
I see a cats face when looking at your control panel and handle bars.
i see tom
It's better than seeing dead people.
Great review.
Check out the Yamaha X MAX 300
The 2005 Honda silverwing you guy’s should do a video on, a bigger better version of this that was made until 2013
Hi, what equipment do you use to film??
Prab a gopro camera attached to helmet. Sorry I couldn't give more help.
Some of the new adventure scooters are awesome.
I have that same model and I love it
0-60 was about 10 seconds
Does it shift? It's a CVT.... so sorta
hi I hope Creigs feeling better been praying for him and his family. I own the Honda Relfex that the USA name the Forsa the Jappan same bike scooter. I'm 6'1" and lots of room and comfortable ride.
Get well soon craig. Troy my Reflex has 34k miles and is as smooth today as the day I bought it. Honda really knows how to build them. Keep Reflexing my friend.
You missed the most important Vespa of all, the carbureted GT200. I bought one 5 years ago, a 2006 model with 1800 miles on it, paid $2200 for it, including a new in box windshield, color matched Vespa top box, battery maintainer, and a new mesh jacket that actually fit. I now have over 60,000 miles on it, with no problems at all. A lot of those miles were at or near full throttle. Sadly it will likely be my last scooter, as they don't make carbureted ones anymore, and I will never own an EFI scooter or motorcycle.
"I know my way around a little scooter", but I don't know how a CVT works, lol. On the subject of the Forza though, I've got one of these, and for round town and short trips it's just about the perfect tool for the job. Incidentally, it has linked brakes. The left lever operates the rear brake and one front disc; the right lever operates the other front disc.
I hate linked brakes. I’d remove it.
I will go 100 mph on a 70 mph speedlimit😂
Oh you daredevil you!
you say cvt but obviously don't know what that is no shifting
Live it lol what state ???
Right should be front brake and left should be rear brake. It's got only 1 gear.
Do you ship motorcycles internationally?(Ireland)
If you pay them enough they'll even ship it to the moon!
One time I waved at a scooter rider while I was on my bike. The guy looked at me so confused. hahaha
It's smoooth. I have a Honda Reflex 250cc 2003 and it's smoooth.
so do i mines yellow
@@TroyGabephotos.app.goo.gl/SDA8tUnt5WViqNtT7
Sorry to revive an older comment thread but how’s the reflex rpm - wise at 70-75mph? Always see varying results on CZcams
@@cjspooner4603 it's should be around 8k to 8 and a half k stock. Mine had 30k miles when I sold it and got a piaggio MP3.
I’m planning on buying my first scooter and that seems like what I need to start with., what’s your opinion?
What is your level of riding experience? Are you tall, not so tall? I've had 3 scooters. Two 400s and a 650, all Suzuki Burgmans. Either will take you across the country if you want to. The 650 of course has more power, but they are both way comfortable and interstate worthy. All the scooters I've ever ridden have been easy to ride, though imo Vespas seem to have a higher center of gravity. Stick with Asian scooters.
I’m 6’2
I'm maybe 5' 11' and I find the 650 roomier. My 400s were nice, but soon as I sat on a 650 I realized my knees had way more room. So don't buy before you "try one on for size." I rode and enjoyed the 400s for a long time though.
That intro!😂
I own a Piaggio BV250 which is made by Vespa; I agree the Vespa metal weights it down. Gotta love 70mph and 70mpgs 👌
No 80mph
Piaggio BV is not Vespa and Vespa is also Piaggio 🎉
It means "Force"...
Got one after dozens of all brands of 2 and 3 wheelers ( slingshot) over 50+ years no shifting if you can ride a bicycle you can ride this
I have one and love it
nice place to have speakers i guess
rear brake on left hand side
Your last comment, that you didn’t know which was the front breaks.
That’s insane!!
Ivdd we had every kind of bike out. Including sweet Harley cruisers. I ride my scooters more than any of them.
I think 300cc is too small for busy freeways, like what we have in LA. Need at least 400. I tested the popular Piaggio BV350 on a freeway and it felt like it was going to self-destruct at 60 MPH. It's too light. Maybe that's the issue.
yeah? I live in San Diego area and ride a Piaggio mp3 500. It does ok on the freeway. I go about 65/70 most of the time but still everyone is passing me most of the time.
300cc is plenty safe for freeway riding, what really matters is weight and speed. There are 300cc that can reach the same speeds as 400's and some are faster than 400cc. Not to mention there are people who ride 200cc on the freeway without a problem.
Forza is an Italian term to force
u should peep a honda ruckus
How cc does it have
300cc
Scooters are Cool 😎
not bad at all
It means "Force"
When your gloves cost more than your bike !
Nice scoot 👍🏼
Does it even have gears ? I don’t know 😂😂
Old comment ik, but its a cvt so it has infinite gear ratios but only one gear.
As long as I could hide my face in a full face helmet. Peace brother.
tccoup355 this is hilarious
Thank you. We'd all appreciate it.
How much was the moped
It's not a moped.
I have one just like that and I love I ride that more than my fatbob 114 and my ryker lol
I got a 86 helix
Great for getting around Oklahoma city streets, better than my shadow
The only thing I don't like about the helix is the small tires
The 300cc and up scooters are basically automatic motorcycles, tire size does matter. I cringe when I see people riding scooters on the freeway with those small wheels, mainly Vespa. I just picked up a 2022 Sym Citycom S 300i, it has 16in wheels, excellent power and smooth on the freeway.
The seating position on a scooter is akward feeling compaired to a motorcycle.
That would make for a good reason for you to not ride a scooter.
Well, there`s no reclining on a Vespa, either;)
Aw bummer! And we're expecting to be able to have a nap during the ride!
Forza - Strength/Power in italian
We get it..... your not a "scooter" guy
I'm 5 ft 7 so there should be plenty of room there for me 😂
What cc is it? And brand
It's 120,000cc and the brand is Barbie
JK it's a Honda Forza 300cc
I am only 5' 7" and the legroom on a Forza is cramped. Bought a Majesty instead.
"Forza" is an Italian word for "strength", if I'm not mistaken.
Let's hope you're not mistaken.
Force
Yeah that is what I thought. If you know some Spanish you can decode Italian somewhat. In Spanish it's fuerza which is also force, power, strength etc.
math is hsrd
a a drop of quallity in new ones compare to the older version
this just either proves to me the speedo on my 125 is way off or my 125 is very fast, speedo went up to 80 one time.. i think its wayyy off lmao
Try to hit 80 or 90 mph
Forza means Force in Italian.
Beautiful blackline! 😍
Great review btw!
Idk why but your voice sound like Sonic I’m not even joking
Right
If it was a 2-cylinder and 500cc.... maybe
My people s 300i hits 100 mph
Hooray for cvt! Thats why im done with real motorcycles after 7 years of chain evil-shannanigans.
Why did they not bring back the HONDA SILVERWING Motorcycles, not the Scooters.
Left brake : rear
He says he knows scooters but doesn't know what break lever goes to what wheel. DUH !!!
You know what?
I ain't gona lie.
bro what do you mean i could walk faster than that
Leaning on a scooter is WAY scarier than a motorcycle, because you could fly right off the seat, takes some getting used to...and those things can Really scrape hard in turns.
It depends what motorcycle you are talking about. My Burgman 400 corners easier than any big bike I've owned. Even in tight mountain twisties, there is no worry about scraping. The only limitation is that when pushing it on rough roads you will get some frame flex. Normal riding no. Flying off the seat? That sounds like the fevered imagination of a motorcycle salesman:)
