Honda has announced the 2025 models of its mid-size scooter "Forza" for overseas markets, the "Forza 125" and "Forza 350," in Europe. Both models conform to the specifications previously announced in Thailand and feature a new full-color TFT LCD meter. We are excited to see this feature installed in the next Japanese model.
The overseas model's younger brother, the Forza 125, also comes equipped with a TFT LCD monitor.
Honda's long-selling mid-size scooter Forza has been in the lineup since 2000. As of 2024, only the 250cc model has been introduced in Japan, but in fact, it is popular overseas with a full lineup of three classes: 125cc, 350cc, and 750cc. The 250cc model in Japan shares the main design with the Forza 350, but has a lower displacement. The specifications of the currently introduced Forza are similar to the 2023 model Forza 350, and in addition to full LED lighting and a stylish fairing, it is also equipped with a USB-TypeC power supply, a smart key, and an electrically movable screen, improving convenience. The cockpit has a mechanical meter with two analog eyes for speed/tach plus a large inverted LCD.
The Forza 350, which is the base for the Japanese model, has had a new 2025 model announced in Thailand this year. And now, the 2025 model for Europe has been released along with the Forza 125, the smallest engine displacement model in the series. Like the Thai model, the conventional meter has been changed to a 5-inch full-color TFT LCD meter, and functions such as HSTC (Selectable Torque Control) information display have been added. In addition, the smartphone linking function "Honda Road Sync" has been newly adopted, and a cross-shaped select switch is installed on the left-hand switch box.
The Forza 125 comes in five colors: gray, gray metallic, black, blue, and white. The Forza 350 also comes in five colors: gray, gray metallic, orange, white, and black. Both models also come in a special edition (SE) version, which is gray metallic with red accents. The release date and price for both models have yet to be announced. The Forza family continues to modernize, and it seems that the announcement of a new model for the domestic "Forza" is imminent. Many 250cc scooters in the same class already come standard with TFT LCD meters, but Forza fans should wait a little longer for further information.
Forza 125 (2025: overseas) The 125 is the youngest model in the Forza series, but this time it has received the same equipment updates as the higher-end models.
A 5-inch TFT LCD meter has been newly adopted. Smartphone linkage and voice control are now possible.
Although the Forza 125 is classified as a 50cc motorcycle in Japan, it comes equipped with all the features of higher-end models, including an electric windscreen, smart key, and torque control.
Forza 350 (2025: overseas) The 350 for Europe, which was released at the same time as the 125, is the model that forms the basis for the Japanese 250.
This new model will be released in Thailand first. It is equipped with a TFT LCD and smartphone connectivity.
The design follows the previous model. The comfortable, streamlined silhouette with excellent aerodynamic performance makes it a highly popular city commuter.
Forza (2024) New Japanese-spec model has not yet been announced. We have high expectations that it will follow the overseas specifications.
The current Japanese version uses an analog twin-lens meter. The cockpit is mechanical and sporty, but the next version is likely to be equipped with a TFT LCD.
The 249cc OHC single cylinder eSP+ engine produces 23PS and also features selectable torque control, providing a safe and secure riding experience.
