The SH150i is only just above the 125cc scooter, but it still has its appeal. If you are not legally bound to a cubic capacity restriction, the small surcharge pays off for a noticeable increase in performance. With a Euro4-compatible engine, LED lighting technology and Smart Key Access, Honda is moving with the times and proves that riding a scooter with a sporty vehicle like the SH150i can be a lot of fun.

Honda Forza 125 2021

The new Honda Forza 125 is a clever further development of its predecessor, which did its job very well anyway. The electrically adjustable windshield can now be extended even higher, the traction control HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) is on board as standard and the Euro5 engine is more powerful yet economical. In addition, the automatic start-stop system will save a few litres of fuel in the long run. The engineers have also thought of "little things", a modern USB port replaces the 12-volt plug. The fact that the appearance has been changed only very cautiously speaks for the elegant and at the same time modern design that the predecessor already had.
