It's called the Forza and should be out in July. Looks like the PCX.

Looks alot like the Downtown.

There is a writeup on this model at - motorscooterguide.net

I don't see this as a bad thing and just goes to a point I've been making all along. We needed a "mid range" motorcycle. The new Honda will help fill in that gap. Plus, the big upswing in scooter sales over the last few years has created new riders that now realize fuel economy is only part of the puzzle. You need storage and enough speed and power to keep up with most traffic or be able to get the hell out of the way! 8)

I like the power size the unit listed might be too big to fit in my garage (sideways) as my peopoles200 now does. Funny you mention the MPG as does the story, when I mention MPG's in a thread a few members blast me saying that I'm taking the fun out of the ride by worring about MPG. Getting good MPG imo is part of the fun.
On another note, at 6K US I'd never buy that scoot new, just not in my budget or plan, but a used one in a few years for half that might work.

Pricey, and I tend to scuff the crap out of scooters that aren't true step through.

Yes MPG, but MPG compared to what? to other scoots? My comparison is MPG of scooter versus car... Regardless of my scoot's MPG... it's still very economical compared to my cars... Actually it's more of "the number of times I pull out my wallet for gas" thing.... ;D ;D ;D

Funny thing with me is that it seems like I fill up both my car and my scoot once per week no matter what I do. The difference is the scoot I pay $4.00 the car $30.00.

I am actually on the bike more than I am the car. So even though it costs me less to fill up, I'm doing it more often! ::)
Can't seem to win.

And paying four bucks is very less stressful! ;D
