10k£? 1st, dct seamless transmission, a world first ever, Honda's evolved 750 engine, built quality, TFT display, quality parts, many more points❤️. Well thought-out chain drive, beautiful designed bike at any angle. Not a scooter, but a crossover bike. Worth the money, every bit of it!
Love the design Thanx for the video Micheal
Great video, Michael, thanks.
Nice matter-of-fact and believable presenting style. 👍

As big scooters go, this is far superior than the T-Max, which is something like £12K!

Good review, really enjoy the detail. The Maxi scooter you forgot is the Kymco AK550. 270 degree twin cylinder engine, 55hp, Brembo brakes, upside down forks, heated grips standard, wet and dry modes, full LED lights. I get around 25km/l, which gives a tank range over 350km from a 15 litre tank. Here in Australia it was around $5k cheaper than the Yamaha TMax. Definitely worth a look, I really like! Oh, and keyless ignition (which I can take or leave!).

Unfortunately, Kymco have ugly tech. support.
No cruise control is an absolute dealbreaker for me. I can’t understand why all manufacturers consider it a premium function. I don’t really care for center stand or heated grips because i can easily add that myself. Adding a cruise control would be a great hussle for me and i would surely void the warranty by doing it.

i need help! I sold my tmax and bouzght new forza. Immediately i noticed that Forza wobles at high speed. BIke bens at hig speed. I have case behind, bought all wind deflectors for legs and now even new wind screen from Givi. Windscreen is bigger and u can even set height of it. So this really frustrates me, bcs Forza is just not stable at high speec on ac. IT feels like its bending all the time. Tmax was so stable and calm even at highest speed 180kmh, but forza starts to wobble at 150kmh. Do u have the same problems and how to fic that if u even can!? I will sell the bike, bcs of that id it vant be fixed. Kinda very disspaointed.
I have a maxi-scooter and love it, and I'd recommend a look at the CB500X. It's a brilliant all around bike with a slipper clutch.
Been on the hunt for a newer low mileage Burgie, curious if this will ever make it to the states
excellent, thanks!
My dream bike
Very interesting Honda. I agree with no heated grips, adjustable electric windscreen nor cruise control it's a fail. So, I bought the better equipped Kymco AK550 which is way cheaper and comes standard with electric screen, 3 speed heated grips and electronic cruise control with great ergonomic buttons. Love the Kymco on a winding mountain road.
It's a bike because it takes a plate. It's a scooter because it's twist and go. It's not a scooter because it doesn't have a floorboard. It's not a moped because those have pedals. But a moped is anything 40cc and under. The floorboard defines the scooter. That's how we can reconcile scooters with and without motors. They both have a floorboard

Just get the Burgman 650 and be done with it.
Spotted this as a possible alternative to my Yamaha Tmax DX due to the bigger engine but, after watching this vid I’ve decided to stick. The Tmax has heated grips, heated seat and electrically adjustable screen on the move. Another biggie for me is the cruise control which I use an awful lot and don’t want to be without. In my opinion Honda have missed a glaring opportunity by a country mile and therefore I’ll hang onto the Yam and hope a larger capacity one arrives soon. By the way, the 530cc mill in mine is fine but slightly buzzy on the 220 mile one-way trip to Devon.
WHEN WILL IT COME TO USA ?
it is insane ! indicators who is on all time?
I'm sure this bike/scooter is all you say it is. I haven't ridden it so I can't comment but there are a few things that detract from the bike. The two points you make; cruise control and non-adjustable screen are important. I own a Suzuki Burgman 650AN Executive - it is a 2009 model - sadly the model was discontinued in 2018. It is to my mind the benchmark for maxi scooters. It has an electrically adjustable screen (can be done while riding) and electrically fold-in mirrors (also done while riding). Under seat storage for 2 full face helmets and two glove boxes as well as a lockable storage space in the dash. Add a top box and you've got storage beaten. The engine is quick and responsive, the bike can handle the daily city commute and open road touring easily. The transmission is CVT with a manual over ride so that on the motorway there is a 6th over drive gear giving improved fuel economy. On top of that there is a power boost button for more revs when in auto mode giving extra power for overtaking if needed. It is a wide bike so although lane splitting is legal in Australia (where I live) it is not always advisable. The one drawback I have is that the bike has no reverse. It is a heavy bike - I think about 220kg wet so an electrically operated speed limited reverse would be a good idea in places where front in angle parking is required. Honda has such a set up on the Goldwing so it is possible and useful. Thanks for your review.
I like this scooter and I like how you describe it and review it thanks

This is not scooter...
To be honest, I can't quite accept that this was a genuinely objective review. Your statements seemed to always end with an implied 'but' waiting to be applied. Nevertheless, it was a good general review, even if some of the downsides you mention came across as being a little whiny. Don't get me wrong, some of the downsides I do agree with, such as electric windscreen, cruise control as standard, and perhaps, handlebar covers for the hands, but I think you have to approach this product for what it is, a bike with elements of both scooter and bike, a kind of hybrid if you will. For me personally, its GT aspects are what I would buy it for, having the comfort and practicality of a scooter with the power and range of a 'sports' bike when you need it. This bike is certainly on my list.

its a nice byke, and an upgrade from the Integra. It is also the same byke as the Integra/NC but with some new updated features to put it up to speed vs Tmax and Kymco 550 (though as is honda style they always fall short). Now the Forza name just to include it in the family rather than stick with Integra name. And in the process kick up the price. If you own and NC or an Integra it will be difficult to justify the price upsize for the trade up. If you are a first comer to the Honda 750 family then a good choice.
I love this Bike.
I tested a 2021 X-ADV today and my god did I hate the switchgear controls and the TFT screen! I got back on my Blackbird and goodness I was so happy to not have to faff around. The bike was great other than that though.
Was going to try one after being seriously disappointed with the original Integra. As your points highlight the inadequate improvements to the screen, legshields and chain guard probably won't bother. Still can't fault the Tmax other than the engine capacity.

Nice Review. Shame it looks like it will not be released in the USA. I have a 2011 Suzuki Bergman that I've loved for 10 years but wanted to get a more modern bike. What a frustration here in the states! I would have thought with the aging population, maxi-scooters would have grown in popularity (I'm an ex-motorcyclist). But sadly, Wrong. Bergman discontinued, Silverwing discontinued, BMW 650 GT discontinued, Yamaha TMax discontinued. Ugh.....

You can customize it how you like in the user program, but its fairly intelligent in standard mode. For total control you can switch gears when ever you want in auto, or go completely manual.
I just wish they kept the price at the NC750D Integra level (which is basically the same bike without some of the fancy bits) which would make it a lot more competitive. I wouldn't buy it at this price. I'd rather get a NC750X with DCT honestly and save some money, or a Burgman 650 if I wanted the big touring scooter vibe, OR Kymco AK550/Tmax 560 if I wanted a sporty scoot.
Not heard/seen anything that tempts me away from my '18 model 650 Burgman. It's got better storage, heated grips/seats & good mpg - 57mpg round town 70 plus on motorways at 70mph. OK, it's nearly 5 years old, but so what? It does everything I want, including touring. Oh, and it's got the electrically adjustable screen 😊.
I too have a minor irritant that bike switchgear is very rarely backlit. It should be a de-rigeur thing in my opnion.
How fast does it go
Hi what bike license can you buy with that bike because I have a Honda Forza 125 right now then I’m going to be doing my full bike license this year and hopefully I would like to buy the Honda Forza 750 by the end of this year 😀😀

Hi Daniel, you'd need a full 'A' motorcycle licence. The Honda Forza 750 has a power output of 43 kW (58 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted to become A2 licence compliant. Hope that helps. Cheers, Michael
Another bike we won't get in Australia probably just like the full power Trident.
Most reviews don't cover the height of the rider and the inside leg measurement ....foot to peg distance for instance . Or in this case the foot to floor so to speak
Cruise control a must if only for average speed cameras, extra weight negligible, just switchgear, the rest is software. Fuel economy doesn’t appear to be as good as expected. Some sort of back rest would be nice, previous super scooter experience not good on lower back. Rear suspension linkage, grease points? On the whole though a good bike by the looks. It may also be telling that in three other KZread tests the finders have been laughing at the fun they were having on the open road.

Even went on picnics with foldable chairs + umbrella under the seat and a picnic basket on the back. This, the ak550, integra, tmax etc have none of said practicality as you said you couldn’t even fit your agv helmet whilst both wife and I have the same agv full face and they both fit neatly under the seat.

I have Forza 300 and it is really practical and a nice looking scooter, but there is one huge downside - suspension - it is really hard (even with rear shocks adjusted to be softer) - now I am already used lifting myself up when crossing tram tracks or other 'irregularities' of the road (with rear shocks adjusted to be soft) - therefore I am basically looking for something as practical but with a better suspension and 750 attracted my attention with 17 inch wheel in front and 15 in the rear - suspension should be better. However, after seeing this review it does not seem worth 12k EUR, no storage place, pillion looked quite cramped, no adjustable windscreen which I use very often and of course a chain .. so it is a no go for me.
my silverwing has way more storage and a bigger fuel tank not as good on fuel though..

It's a lot of money for a scooter. I hear other reviewers say the same thing. What exactly does that mean? A scooter is basically what? A step through? An automatic? A CVT? Those are the differences basically. Are those cons in any way? So if it didn't have any of these would it not be a scooter? Or does it come down to top speed and quickness off the line that is what differentiates scooters and proper motorcycles? I know Burgman owners don't really care about any of those things. It's comfortable, fast enough, agile, smooth and has a lot of storage space. There are people touring with those Burgman 650s.
Having previously owned a burgman 650 and a honda nc750x I was looking forward to this release but your right, no heated grips or adjustable screen, storage is on the poor side too,it's pricey as is the optional top box, I just bought a BMW C650GT that ticks all the boxes, heated seat/grips as standard plus electric screen,not forgetting it goes like the wind!

It’s a very nice bike indeed but it seems to lack in the equipment department and design for me. The dct and ftf are awesome features but it looks like it was designed 10y ago. The AK is still the best looker out there with the Tmax with its “ugly” brutality coming in at a very close second.
Seems like mounting and dismounting would be awkward.
Is that a chain or belt because if it's a chain it's not worth buying because to much maintenance and servicing I have a motorcycle but I'm looking for a moped for business use as I work on a zero hour contract and have to travel to different sites across the country so I need something practical, fast and great mileage.

This get on it and go I dont get. I get on and go with any bike
Honda bring this stuff to the US
I had the integra 750. It is a shame Honda makes a big tall scooter but with no space for the long legs required... Even a vespa has more room and comfort for knees and legs.

I am 1m87 tall and I have more room on the Forza than on the Tmax. When I had the Tmax, I always hit the handlebars with my knees, and reaching the ground while standing still was harder.

It is a motorcycle a NC750X DCT, with no foot controls.
When I do my a2 I definitely want one of these

@@olgeirdvoneverick6812 fair enough :) you could do a lot better than this bike though IMO. For A2 a restricted MT07 or Z650 would be better and much cheaper unless you are dead set on this one.
What it needs is an aftermarket Harley tour pack painted and bolted on.

...very nice maxi-scooter. But for me, the deal-breaker is the final drive...a chain. Arghh....

But don’t chains last longer than cvt belt drives if looked after 🤔
You can’t find a pretty bird to put on the back? Would add some appeal to your video.
As he looks at the underseat storage the cameraman makes sure he lowers his camera so that we really don't get to see it. The only thing we saw was the actual underside of the seat, NOT the storage itself. Lame.

Blimey! Of all the things to be critical of, camerawork of the under seat storage is a bit far-fetched. Look at the full review on the website if you’re that desperate.

Bennetts, I'm not desperate. I own the best scooter ever made.. a Honda Helix. And I've owned one long before you guys even cared to review them. A scooter is all about convenience. Yes, people care about storage on them. Mine has a built in trunk.
aaargh, Forza have normal legs place on front, unlike cutted small in Integra edition.
Fron wheel 17” and rear 15” for god sake

@@TomReinerDE I feel it’s a bit plain and old-fashioned for what is supposed to be their top level premium scooter. I’ve seen plenty of better designs, put it that way.
Avoid bmw c400gt c650gt.. its £1200 for the 12k service folks. Confirmed !
No cruse control for over £10.000 no hand guards . Don’t like amber running lights Dangerous on a motorcycle.
