Honda Forza 125 2022

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.
