Honda has unveiled the new Forza 125, Forza 300, and Forza 750 maxi-scooter with features, updated colors, and a modern full-colour TFT display. Sadly, neither variant will make its way into India, and fans here may be up in an uproar about this. This time, they should arrive in Europe early next year at a slightly higher price. Furthermore, the Forza 125 has options of Mat Pearl Pacific Blue and Mat Pearl Cool White, but the Forza 300 promises to sport an all-new Carnelian Red Metallic. While the two derivatives offer improved connectivity and better vehicle operation via the Honda app, they don't differ in terms of power outputs.  Additionally, Honda is revamping the Forza 750 for 2025 with a new colour scheme, features, and a slight price increase. It now includes a "rain" riding mode for better grip and debuts a new DCT gearbox, but it won’t be available in India soon.  Updates in these scootersThe scooters have new shades and an advanced full-colour TFT display. The Honda app now allows customers to control connectivity and operation with the new 2025 Forza 125 and Forza 300 scooters. However, neither model is scheduled for India. Honda Forza 125 scooter updatesHonda has unveiled the updated Forza 125 for 2025, which comes in new colors and an elegant, modern all-colour TFT display. However, it might not seem that these models will hit the Indian markets, and thus, Indian fans are left disappointed. For 2025, the Forza 125 will be available in two new colour options: Mat Pearl Pacific Blue and Mat Pearl Cool White. These two join a broader colour palette from last year's version of the 2024 variant. Among the upgrades on the new Forza 125 is its five-inch full-color TFT instrument cluster, which supports both iOS and Android devices. Such features help it provide a rider with navigation features through Honda's smartphone app and give an overall better ride. The ECU setting has been revised, and new mufflers have been fitted, but power outputs remain the same. When it arrives in Europe in early 2013, it will retail for a slightly higher price. The company says it will not be brought to India despite premium scooters gaining increasing interest in the country. Honda Forza 300 Scooter UpdateHonda has also unveiled the updated Forza 300 scooter for 2025, with some new colors and an intricate full-colour TFT. Like the Forza 125, its Indian market launch doesn't seem likely either. The Forza 300 will be available in the rather beautiful new colour, Carnelian Red Metallic, in addition to the colors offered in the 2024 lineup. The variety is expected to attract many customers with its fashionable variants. A five-inch full-colour TFT instrument cluster for connectivity support of iOS and Android riders can now access navigation through Honda's smartphone application, which indeed adds to the convenience of being on the road. Moreover, the Forza 300 is nothing but the same power figure since Honda launched it first. Except for ECU settings and mufflers, nothing else has been altered concerning this maxi-scooter. The scooter is to hit European shores in the first quarter of the following year with a minimal price variation. Unhappily, Honda has announced that it won’t come to India as a market for this scooter despite being the best seller in the aspirational scooter segment so far. Honda Forza 750 Maxi-Scooter UpdateAside from those two new above-range models, the other model that Honda is revamping for 2025 is its largest maxi-scooter, the Forza 750. There's a new colour scheme, extra features, and a price change. The side panels are carried over, but now, along with the twin LED headlights, the DRLs and indicators are built into them on the front. For the update, a new "rain" riding mode is included to increase the level of grip offered when it's wet outside. Producing less power contributes to this extra responsiveness. The Forza 750 uses a 745cc parallel-twin engine that produces 58bhp. The A2 version, however, comes only with 47bhp. This time around, a new DCT gearbox debuted—one that's also been seen on Honda models like the Africa Twin. The Forza 750 2025 will go on sale in Europe and Asia early next year, along with a modest price rise, but don't expect to see it at Indian dealerships anytime soon. Before you go, have a look at the Yamaha R9 launched at USD 12.5K – Indian Launch Expected?Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fbInstagram-  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_instaTwitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
