What Honda scooter is for you?

It’s a big year for the Honda Scooter range. We’ve had several new additions such as the Forza 300 and the all new PCX125A launch onto the market. They join some of our reliable favourites such as the Vision, in both 50cc & 110cc, the Forza 125, the SH range 300i & 125i and the higher powered Integra NC750D.

NSC50 – Vision 50 

The 50cc Vision 50 is a low running cost model, that’s easy to use and run. A big plus to this model is you can drive it on your general car licence, meaning no extra IBT lessons needed.  It’s got a range of 149 miles so it won’t let you down and it’s nifty for popping in and out of town. A top box is supplied FOC with the Vision 50 adding to it’s appeal. This would be perfect for you if your distance isn’t too far and you’re not interested in the IBT lessons or a higher powered scooter.

 

NSC110 – Vision 110 

This is the Vision 50’s older brother, the Vision 110, with an upgraded engine that features idle stop and great fuel economy. It’s sleek and nimble at navigating through traffic.

The premium Forza range are the most technologically advanced of the Honda Scooter range. The 125 model comes with a whopping 48L of under seat storage and a Euro 4 premium engine. It’s lightweight, super stylish and you can add any number of accessories included smartphone cradles and accessories. It’s got a clear dashboard and key-less start.
