A limited-edition Honda Forza 300 has been added to the 2020 scooter lineup.

The bike shares many chassis and engine parts with the 2018 machine but is now available in grey and gloss black colour schemes, red-stitched leather seat, matching rim tape, colour matched Smart Key top box and a new Forza 300 decals.

Honda CB500x Review 2019

Building on the success of the Forza 125, the Forza 300 joined the Honda range in 2000 and has been steadily updated and improved since then. The 2018 bike saw the Forza go through its biggest and most radical redesign, with slimmer, sleeker bodywork bringing the bike up to date with the current trend for sporty maxi-scoots.

Beneath the skin, the new machine is still powered by the 279cc, liquid-cooled, four-valve engine. Producing 24bhp, the bike is a big step up from bikes like the PCX 125, but a noticeably more manageable choice when compared to the bigger crop of large capacity maxi-scooters.

For those not wanting the full limited edition version of the Forza 300, the standard 2020 machine is also updated and available in five new colour schemes: Crescent Blue Metallic, Pearl Nightstar Black, Matt Cynos Grey Metallic, Matt Pearl Cool White.
