Honda Forza 300 Styling

The maxi-scooter styling brings features such as a tall windscreen (electrically adjustable), spacious storage space and premium hardware to the Forza 300. The front fascia features an apron-mounted LED headlight. The rear-view mirrors get integrated turn indicators and they are installed on the apron, next to the windscreen. The cockpit includes a car dashboard-style, semi-digital layout that includes analogue tachometer and speedometer, while rest of the information like the fuel gauge, oil temperature, trip meters, odometer, range (distance-to-empty), air temperature and battery voltage are available on the digital screen.

The footboard is designed to offer sufficient space to the rider to move his legs and place them in the most comfortable position. The feature will come handy during long rides. The large saddle can easily accommodate two adults comfortably, while the massive under-seat storage can store two full-face helmets. The under-seat space can be customised to suit specific needs. The lockable inner fairing pocket comes with an ACC charging socket to power your electronic devices on the go.

LED blinkers and LED tail light at the back complete the full LED lighting package on the scooter, thus giving it a premium look and styling.
