Many thanks 👍

Definitely....it does 300 miles on a tank ...like you said very cheap to service...I just found it cruised so nicely at 60)65 mph very impressive Cheers mark

Hi Brad yes you can't beat Honda reliability....I've ridden many miles on a pcx great scooter aswell Cheers mark

Thanks it's pricey but worth it imo A dream to ride and Honda reliability Best wishes mark

Many thanks Larry ...it's definitely worth paying the extra for this scooter...it rides superbly Best wishes mark

Thanks Martine...best 125 scooter I've ridden:) :)

Great choice....best 125 cc scooter out there best wishes mark

Yeah the 125's value is all in the storage and the tech. It does have the max bhp a 125 can have, but still so much less powerful than the 350. I was looking at getting the 125, but I might as well get my A2 licence and wait to pick up the 350.

Many thanks...I may well get one of these myself one day...it's an amazing 125 cc scooter Best wishes mark

got one this weekend amazing bike and fills me with confidence as a new rider :)

Yes it's physically big ....and rides very well... It would be the one I'd buy for sure 😃 Cheers mark

You and me both!

Many thanks nik ...this is my favorite 125 cc scooter now ... utterly brilliant a really nice ride best wishes mark

Suspension is actually about middling. I swapped from a Piaggio Medley 125 and the difference was really noticeable on New Forest roads. I really feel those bumps more than I used to. Still don't regret the change though.

Thanks Keith 😄....best 125 cc scooter in my opinion

@@markpulling12 Thank you Mark. I agree with you, and value your opinions highly. Keep up the good work, and stay safe dear fellow.

Thanks kelvin yes this would make a brilliant commuter Best wishes mark

Thank you! Cheers!

Many thanks...this is the best 125 cc scooter in my opinion Best wishes mark

Many thanks for the kind words:) Best wishes mark

Thanks yes that is the reason for the dark section...it's picking up the dash ... I've tried with various settings and positions to no avail it's much better if I ride down a street lit road Best wishes mark .

@@markpulling12 Subscribed from Australia. Finally aged 64 I have retired riding 200bhp litre bikes on public roads here due to Draconian red tape and gone back to the track! Yes I WILL still do 180mph whenever I damn well feel like it and get my knee down. LOL That said. I had a dilemma. To see friends or have a coffee or just get some freedom I needed a road bike still. But one that would not see me having to "worry" about my speed all the time. I bought a 2022 Honda CB125F and it's an absolute hoot. Zero acceleration but HILARIOUS fun in the twisties on the flat or slight incline or downhill it will lean till there is no rubber left on the underside of the footpegs! 99% here are P plated or learner riders and I have to say I am certainly turning heads as I pass on the outside, bomb under them in 60-80KMH corners! It's a LOT OF FUN! Cheers.

@@theaustralianconundrum haha 😂 yes I've had lots of fun on 125s over the years cheers mark

@@markpulling12 My last one was a 1973 Honda CR125 in fact! Now THAT is a long time ago! Tally Ho sir and great channel you have. Shall binge watch tonight!

Thanks Peter yes these scooters are so practical and great for running about on Best wishes mark

Haha yes I know 😂!! :)

Hi Aaron I've been riding it alot round town lately and it's still showing and I worked it out at the pumps as 110 mpg ...truely amazing:)

@@MrSuryanamascar I let Waze choose my route after setting it to avoid motorways - I mostly followed the A419 up to Gloucester, past Hereford and then it's a straight shot up the A49

@@MrSuryanamascar you're more than welcome! It's definitely easy enough. Just remember to take a little break every hour or two. Long trips tend to make me space out a bit, so the stops are always a good idea.

Hi Simon as good as the 125 is I think you'd be better off with the 350 it still does 80 plus mpg but it's way more capable for longer journeys Best wishes mark

The Medley has virtually the same power and can also fit two helmets underneath the seat. However its engine has a limiter which restricts it to 111 kph on the clock, which is a little less GPS, so only around 63 mph max. For this alone the Forza is way ahead on everything except price.

Hi Jim ...I may get one myself in the future...my bikes are constantly changing because of loan bikes ...but personally I have a 790 duke and a zx12r Best wishes mark

Hi I have the Forza 300 myself and all Honda's as you probably know are super reliable so all good there For yourself I'd say the Forza 125 would be perfect....it is much faster than the pcx ....it will comfortably sit at 60/65 mph whereas the pcx is flat out and it has amazing weather protection...much better than the pcx Hope this helps Best wishes mark

If cost is an issue the cheaper 125s from Honda make more sense, remember the Forza weighs an additional 30kg over the likes of the PCX yet has no more torque to get that mass off the line. The durability of both the 125 and 300/350 seem fine anywhere between 40 and 60k depending on how it's been looked after but obvious if 50-60mph is all you need the 350 will be having a much easier time of it. If the lower running costs are really the deal breaker I'd check Yamaha's NMAX out too, a great 125 for around £3800.

Hi ..I've actually been thinking about this for a few weeks! ! Lol And after much thought I'd choose the 350 reason is the ,350 is only a bit more money and it can still give up to 90 mpg but you've got the extra power when you need it Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 thanks mark,just waiting for you to review the honda sh300/350 and the Piaggio Beverly and I'll go buy a new scooter😎👍

Hi Alan Honda website gives this as 780 mm which isn't too tall on paper but as most maxi scooter seats are so wide it makes these only suitable for people with say 29 inch inside leg minimum....I'm 5 ft 7 and I can't touch down fully ....the pcx Honda is much lower thankfully Best wishes mark

I've been out on this today for 80 miles ...one of the longest rides I've ever done on a 125 ...and it was effortless...very impressive for a 125 Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 I used to ride a Honda Varadero 125. The only thing that let it down was uphill on a motorway as it struggled to maintain 70. Apart from that it was a very competent machine. Ironically I have just bought a new 2023 Hayabusa but am also looking for an NC750-X DCT as a daily.

I'm hoping to get hold of one of these Stevie from my local bmw dealer when the weather gets a bit better ....looks awesome 👍 Cheers mark

Yes Mike ...agree there are alot of cheaper options Best wishes mark

Honda Forza 125 is better than Sym jet x in all aspects. More horsepower, bigger front wheel, michelin tyres, a lot more space under seat, larger fuel tank, windscreen, better holding value...

@@markob7160 definitely no comparison

@@markpulling12 Thought you were an advocate of the newer Far east especially Chinese bikes, (where the Forza is most likely built) Mark. So maybe when you say the quality is close to the Japanese brands, your reply of no comparison is simply confusing.. I`ve always liked Japanese bikes, if I was able to ride, now, I would have a Honda 650 tomorrow I just believe 5K for a moped is putting young riders off the idea of bikes in general, whereas 3K seems more affordable.

@@Snapper2110 yes just to clear things up...I'm a great lover of the Chinese bikes...I've had quite a few.. Benelli...keeway etc ...and you get alot for say £3 k .they are improving all the time..but the Honda Forza 125 ( yes it's Thailand built I think ) is a big step up from say the sym jet x ...in terms of performance and spec ...I know it's £2k more but you can feel that difference...most young new riders would probably not get one ...the Chinese bikes are much more affordable....I guess it's kind of you get what you pay for as always Hope that helps a bit Best wishes mark

£5249. The special edition is £5499

AHH thanks Catherine great news ...glad you are enjoying it .. it's the best 125 scooter out there Best wishes mark
