Concepts, Custom


(Looks like Honda asked themselves “what if Ludacris was scooter shopping?”)

From the looks of THIS concept found at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon, it appears Honda doesn’t want to pigeon-holed as that stodgy old scooter manufacturer known just for their reliability. No, it looks like they are actually taking some tips from Yamaha lately and breaking out the pre-customized look. Isn’t that what shocked most people when they saw the Morph? For a list of all the bells AND whistles on this Forza (Reflex to us ‘Mericans) read this from the Honda site:

This 250cc scooter combines high quality comfort with information-related functions for safe and pleasant city riding for two. The Forza Smart 2-seater can be equipped with the same ‘go-anywhere’ portable AVN entertainment system as the Fit Daily Active concept vehicle, allowing easy transposition from one to the other for increased versatility. Conversation between operator and passenger is facilitated by the inter-communication system and music can be shared thanks to the front/rear speakers. Body and seat color themes are coordinated with that of the Fit Daily Active concept vehicle. The LED headlights, LED front fog lights, welcome lighting and passenger backrest with built-in wing-type high visibility high-mount stop lamp also reflect the same up-to-date concept seen in the Fit Daily Active. The Forza Smart 2-seater is all about fun, comfortable city riding for two.
