Honda Forza 125: An A1 scooter, generations and what to check when buying used
The Honda Forza 125 is a large city scooter with a 125 cm³ engine, produced since 2015 and suitable for the A1 category. We look at the generations, technology and what to check before buying used.
The Forza 125 in brief
The Forza 125 is a Honda 'maxi' class scooter with a 125 cm³ engine. It features a larger body, comfortable seat and under-seat storage, making it ideal for daily commuting in the city and suburbs.
The engine power meets the A1 category limit (up to 11 kW), so younger riders can drive it, and thanks to the spacious body and good wind protection, it's comfortable for longer journeys.
Which generation to choose
The first generation (from 2015) has a Honda 125 cm³ engine and a modern scooter design. It's praised for its practicality and reliability, and is more affordable on the used market.
Since 2021, the Forza 125 has been updated: new design, more features and improved technology. Newer years receive additional updates, so check the exact specification before buying.
Engine and transmission
The engine is a 125 cm³ single-cylinder, liquid-cooled unit with power within the A1 limit. The transmission is an automatic belt-driven CVT, so no gear shifting is required.
Due to this transmission, regularly check the variator belt and pulleys according to the manufacturer's schedule. The engine is economical but not ideal for long highway trips.
What to check when buying a used Forza 125
Check for a worn-out clutch cable and clutch springs. Ensure the engine starts without issues, and there are no unusual noises or vibrations when moving, or oil leaks.
Inspect the body panels for signs of damage, check the suspension, brakes, tyres and boot space. For newer models, check the electronic key system and other electric functions.
