Twin cylinder Honda Forza 750 maxi scooter gets tech revamp for 2025 including cruise control as standard

Honda have pulled the covers off their updated Forza 750 maxi scooter for 2025, promising enhanced technical specification, revised riding modes and a fresh lick of paint.

As before, it’s powered by a punchy 745cc parallel twin engine shared with the X-ADV, producing a claimed 57.8bhp at 6750rpm, and 50.9lb.ft of torque at 4750rpm. This can be limited to 47bhp to meet A2 licence requirements and comes equipped with Honda’s semi-automatic DCT gearbox.

Equipped with a ride-by-wire throttle, you get three standard riding modes (plus a customisable User mode), and three levels of traction control (otherwise known as Honda Selectable Torque Control).

This is updated for 2025 with a revised Rain mode, which provides the lowest level of engine power and braking, with the highest traction intervention on slippery surfaces.

This motor is held in place via a tubular steel frame, complete with an aluminium swingarm, and suspended by 41mm upside down forks. This is shrouded by bodywork, now available in ‘Mat Ballistic Black Metallic’, ‘Iridium Gray Metallic’ with a Graphite Black sump guard and trim, and ‘Mat Warm Ash Metallic.’

Sticking with the appearance, there are also new twin LED headlights, with inbuilt daytime running lights and indicators. You also get cruise control as standard, and an updated five-inch TFT dash with mobile connectivity.

You’ll find under seat storage too, with enough room for a full-face helmet, with a little glovebox up front for everyday essentials. The USB-C charging port is also gone from under the seat, to a position on the handlebars instead.

The Forza update comes a week on from the launch of a revamped NT1100 touring range, plus a new X-ADV adventure scooter shown at the back end of September. For more, go to honda.co.uk now.
