Rental overview
The new-generation Honda Forza 350 is the most modern version of the popular maxi-scooter. A refreshed body, a modern instrument display, traction control and improved ergonomics: it feels like a premium motorcycle.
The 330cc engine with around 29 hp holds highway speeds easily and pulls hard out of corners. The suspension is soft but controlled, the riding position is roomy and the adjustable windscreen keeps wind off on long stretches. It is for riders who want the best and a comfortable ride.

How it rides in Phuket
The Forza 350 is the most "grown-up" maxi scooter in the fleet: 29 hp, an 11.7 L tank, an adjustable windscreen and a seat that suits both rider and passenger. It is comfortable for a full day around the island: Patong, Chalong, Rawai, then Promthep for the evening.
The electronics and display are more modern than on the Forza 300, and the 330cc engine pulls harder on climbs. At 186 kg it demands experience: it feels heavy when parking if you are not used to it.
