🛵Honda Forza 350 (2021) 🔥🔥 Test Ride, Soundcheck, Walkaround, 0-100 kph (ENGLISH) | VLOG269 [4K] 

I test rode the Forza 350 for approximately 30 miles today. My impressions - having got straight off my Burgman 400 - are these: 1. The Forza feels a little cramped and I was unable to stretch out my legs as far as I can on the Burgman. It's something I would get used to quite quickly though. 2. The engine is very smooth and responsive and makes the Burgman 400 seems quite rough by comparison. 3. I found the ride very hard and jarring. The rear shocks don't seem to be absorbing even minor bumps in the road. 4. Economy, as expected (due to a smaller engine and lighter weight) was better than the Burgman - I averaged 82mpg (imperial) over the 30 miles of mixed riding. 5. I love the clarity of the instruments. Better and more comprehensive than the Burgman. 6. The screen, even on its highest setting, produces a lot of wind noise around the helmet. I a only 175cm (5'9") but, for touring, I would need to fit a taller screen. (I have a Givi Airflow on my Burgman). 7. It's taller than the Burgman and I was unable to put both feet flat on the ground. Again, something I'd get used to. I think, for the price - unless you are adding Honda accessories - it is good value.

I love the way he tells us where the seat is LOL . Great video , keep them coming

Nice video, very informative. I have just ordered a blue one and am waiting for it to arrive. Can’t wait! Many thanks for a great video.

Very nice bike. Great reveiw. Well done buddy. Cheers.

Very well done, thank you for the review

I had in my garage an xmax300 2019 model but i sold it after 2 years and 35.000km for the updated model forza 350. I bought the forza 350 on September 2021 without test driving it. Let me share with you my impressions after 2 weeks of driving it and how it is compared to the xmax300. • The seat material is not as good as the xmax300 and the whole construction closing and opening feels cheap. • It has only one storage space on the left side and it is very deep and not easy to reach your stuff. Again the construction feels very cheap compare to the xmax300 which has 2 storage spaces. • The biggest problem was some kind of vibrations that i was feeling at the seat, at the mirrors and at the steering when the scooter wasnt moving. I didnt faced anything like this with the xmax300 or any other scooter i have had. • Fuel consumption about the same as the xmax for sure not better. • Brakes better than the xmax300 • Rear Suspension is hard and not so soft as the xmax300. • Steering is about the same as the xmax 300 small differences. • The forza 350 engine feels quiter and stronger than the xmax300. • The instruments and the mirrors are more premium than the xmax300. Overall it didnt worth the upgrade and the whole experience of the forza350 left me unsatisfied. The biggest problem for me is the vibrations of the scooter because it makes it feel cheap. The xmax300 for me is the better option.

Hi sir, here in the Philippines honda did not release the Forza series. We envy those country with Forza scoot :) I really love that Forza 350. Thank you for mentioning the Philippines, nice review more power to you're channel and ride safe always.

Very good video. You speak excellent English too!

A great review, thanks. I think one of the reasons for buying this (for me, at least) is the 8000 mile service intervals. I currently own a 2020 Suzuki Burgman AN400 which needs servicing every 3500 miles, which is inconvenient and expensive because I cover high mileages. I also recently rode a Kymco AK550. Great performance and features but 3000 mile service intervals and £10k purchase price! Oh, and small underseat storage capacity, similar in size to the Forza 750's I recently sat on (but have not ridden) a Forza 350 and it felt a bit toy-like compared to the Burgman but will take a test ride soon. I think the price is very competitive. I quite like the Forza 750 but it is chain-driven which I will never go back to and the storage capacity is not big enough. Mind you, adding a Honda top-box and heated grips to the Forza is another £1000+ which is insanely expensive, in my opinion.

This is one beautiful scooter. Hopefully I’ll be able to buy it soon.

Best looking scooter in 2021.

I wish Honda had a model between the Forza 350 and 750. In my opinion, there is too big a gap between the two models ... Anyway, this new 350 is now more in tune with what the competition offers. BenalRida, thank you very much once again for your work analyzing motorcycles !!! You have become one of my favorite reviewers ... and the parking lot in front of "VENTA EL TUNEL" is the official stage, hahahaha Congratulations, I will stay connected to the channel for future videos

Hello!! I just find your video, and i really like it. I hope for the future can try this moto. For another part i have checked that you are on Málaga. If i can recomend you something, next to "el palo" ( a neighborhood) you can find nice place to eat nice fish and soo nice spot to maker your videos. This area, and also cala del moral y Rincon de la victoria could have nice light to record your videos. Thank you for this video.😉😉

My dream 😍

Nice review of the Forza 350

This is the biggest scooter one can drive in city and the smallest one can drive on the highway. Maybe the perfect balance, if such thing is possible at all.

Thanks!!! Would Love to see a segment on lanesplitting!!

Nice. 🤸🍀🎼👏

I've been looking at the forza for a while now, lovely looking scooter with lots of storage. A 350 is plenty of power for every day use I think my mind is made up Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍

Nice scooter and lots of helpful features. The downside is the travel and performance of the stock suspension, is very much lacking at the price point. I had a test ride. A suspension upgrade is a must... That said the road surfaces in Thailand are not as good as Europe on a Urban basis.. Liked and subbed..

Good video buddy, thanks. Can I just ask, how do you record your voice over the noise of the wind? With my GoPro, it just records wind noise and nothing else - I cannot hear my voice so I’m guessing you have an external mic of some sort?

It does look like the best option for a sub 500cc scooter. Great looks, decent power, reasonable price. I love the look of the 750 but cannot justify the extra £4900 over the 350 which can be picked up generally for around £5100 - £5400 here.

Can you plz test the all new 2021 Honda PCX 160 ABS. Thanks for the videos!

4k 👍

Loving the reviews! How does it compare to the 2020 xmax 300 power wise?

The wind screen is great that that it can be moved up and down while riding

good

good 👍

Forza 350 might doesnt have start and stop because has bigger engine which would be harder for the system to operate right on a sudden push of throttle... maybe it is easier for smaller engines to have this attribute. Does any other 300cc ++ scooter has start and stop? i dont think so...

Thank you for your recommendation on the 350 scooter. Did you feel there was a problem with the rear shocks of the scooter as a red cowboy complained And does the windshield make noise while driving and not hard enough? Thanks for the video.

How would you say it compares with the sh 300 or 350 it does have more weather protection and that is important more for NE U.K. Do you think the plastic wind screen is different from that of the sh mods Because they seem to be clearer to look through that the Sh models. Also the price is not a to great a difference!! Thanks for your evaluation it was very good.

When you use traction control or not ? Can I ride always with traction control ON ? Good review as usual... cheers from Ireland 🖐️🇮🇪

Love your reviews, they have got better and better over time! love the 0/100kph I have a Yamaha xMax 300 and the Forza 350 is 2 seconds quicker than the Xmax 300 to 100kph! might be worth a look? but tbh i do fancy the Honda XADV its a lot of Money but maybe! Have you reviewed it yet?? If not can you?

Hola from Thailand!

Thanks for the review. I see you like it more than the Forza 300 which you tested earlier. I will be buying a new Forza 350 here in the UK in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, the choice of colour we have isn’t very good... only light grey, dark grey or matt blue. I wish we also had both red and white to choose from. I have an SH300 in beautiful metallic red.

a i've had a serious problem, choosing between this or Xmax 300. Honda win because of several little advantages, which determine the overall comfort of use. It has a little better engine, more energetic and developmental. Better brakes, better wind protection with this adjustable windshield/more GT abilities if You plan to use it out of the city. Little better trunk with a nice pocket, also better finished. A lot better, deep front pocket. Working front lights (!), better mirrors. Some better ergonomics solutions - menu function buttons on left side, not on throttle side (!). Also You can switch off TC by dedicated one switch, not need to search this in menu. It's probably also little better balanced - battery is between the seat and the tank. Finally Forza have a better stock tires. I have to say Xmax also has some serious advantages. Better front forks, little lower fuel consumption and in my opinion some better finishing materials. And You can buy it used if not afraid of that.

" I dont want to risk my life i won't test max spd" - Going almost 140 klm per hour :D

i got one of this... fantastic scooter... but the wind shield should go 1 more cm up.... to reduce more noice... my toughts.. they put the wind shield on this model 3.5 cm more up on this modell on Honda Forxa 300 cc it wass 3,5 cm less ... topbox u can get two types, 35 and 45 liter... i have 45 and have good place to put things in it.... :D also good place for helmets under the seat but also other thinghs...

Impressive bike! I'm a happy owner of the ADV150 but am starting to think I'd like something with a little more top-end power, for overtaking and more comfy freeway cruising. Maybe the 350 could be the bike for me?

Currently the Honda Stop Start technology is only designed for up to 125cc. They use the AC electronic stator technology to quickly start the engine, they don't have a traditional starter motor. I'm sure if it was possible on higher cc engines then Honda would implement it.

True - as you said, you have to consider your weight, but what size is your inside leg. Saw a 5ft 6" guy with a 30-inch inside leg and he was tippy toes just like you, so guessing you have a shorter inside leg given that you are 2 inches taller than him. Would guess you are 28-inch inside leg?? Is that about right? Thanks for the good video. Love from Scotland, X

This bike is quicker than xmax 0-60 by 1.4sec , xmax cvt works differently so you have a feeling it got more power So it’s not on par

I tested this 350 model whilst mine was getting serviced (forza 300) and my impression was it is much quicker at spinning up than the 300 which i find lacking until it gathers speed at the upper end.. I have traded mine in for this one after 12 months use... much quicker on overtakes esp in the mid range 50mph plus. I still have to think ahead but not so much so compared to the 300 the seat feels narrower and feel my knees futher down rather than towards my chest but it is marginal but more comfort is better even if it is small touches... my only gripe is the change of design on the rear pillion handles i will have to buy another top box rack.... more expense rather than a transfer.. Maybe a bigger engine more fuel use ?

Can you do night ride and talk about any day time running lights thanks

Nice model I am between this forza 350 and Yamaha xmax....

I see you have tried the Xciting S400. Which one would you buy ?

Wow 7seconds to 100km? That’s really quick

I saw the same video it appears the Thailand seat is different design

In your opinion which is better buy, this one, Yamaha xmax 300 or Piaggio Beverly 350? Thank you

Regarding the comments from the guy in Thailand/Philippines I imagine one possible reason he found the bike uncomfortable, specifically the seat, may be because many Thai and Filipino people tend to be shorter/smaller so may have lead to his negative feedback on seating. Just a guess. The Honda seems like a real quality bike. For me tho the looks are a bit generic- I mean it looks a lot like many other bikes out there. Just my 2 pesetas, er, I mean 2 cents :-)

sir BenalRida, in your own honest review, between FORZA 350 and the XMAX 300, which of the two has the more powerful engine and more torque / easy accelaration power ? tnx ser im from the Philippines and owning XMAX 300 , its average top speed only i can reach is 144 kph ..

My Forza 300 is 3 years old and am wondering whether to upgrade to the 350.

what would you choose between zontes 350e and this

Would you choose this or the C GT 400 BWM scooter? I think I would still prefer the BMW

honda forza made in country?

You show the wind screen going up and down except you don’t show the windscreen ooppps

It's not the scooter I guess... The real beauty is the road and the views around.. 😀

But excuse me, 7.04 seconds from 0-100 km / h and with the windshield fully raised to the maximum? It is definitely a very elaborate and modified Honda Forza 350. Quite right?

Forza 350 or Adv 350 now for city mostly?

Does it have cruiz control?

there is no honda forza in the Philippines.. honda phil did not bring that bike to our country 😫

Какая страна, и что за город который вы проезжали?

It looks like 2012 Kymco Downtown

your choice xmax or forza?

9:15: Probably downhill. "Scooter & Sport" measured it with about 10 seconds unstead 7

I have the 300 Forza it's a great scooter the only downside is the front suspension. The 350 has the same suspension, disappointing. The screen is a little higher.

I hope there will be Forza400 using two cylinders engine and DCT in future

Why not show windscreen up and down?

no changes reported from last year. just bigger engine - 350

Hmmmm - no detail on the trip computer function or off road capability ? - Video way too long for the useful information supplied

is better then the Xmax tho?

Windscreen go up and dowwnnnnn. 😳😳But we cannot see 😂

In Indonesia Xmax more popular cause the price is cheaper than forza

I would like the 750 but not for £10 000 MAYBE £8000 SO IM thinking about 350cc

forza350 0r cb500x???

Oh man what’s with the music? It’s about motor cycles it’s not a concert so off putting even though your vid is good

I prefer scooters over motorbikes.

Underseat is almost as good as the 125. Really?

Did any one noticed a Cat Face with Ears, Eyes & Mouth etc at 6 : 10 😂😂😂

mönsch...ich denk das Video kennst du doch...dann die Stimme...alles klar...Fuzzi :-)

X max or forza?

Preffer SH

Der MotoFuzzi kann auch englisch .... na prost !

*There is ZERO reason for this scooter to weigh 400lbs, ridiculous!*
