Overview of Honda Forza Scooter Models

The Honda Forza name was first introduced in Japan in 2000 on a premium 250cc maxi-scooter. Over the years, the Forza evolved into Honda’s flagship scooter range, covering everything from lightweight commuter scooters to large-capacity touring models. Today, the Forza family consists primarily of the 125, 350, and 750 models.

Was the Honda Integra the Predecessor of the Forza 750?

Yes, very much so.

The Honda NC700D Integra, introduced in 2012, was a unique crossover between a motorcycle and a scooter. It shared its platform with the NC700S and NC700X motorcycles and featured Honda’s innovative Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

In 2014, the model evolved into the NC750D Integra, receiving a larger 745cc engine and various refinements.

When Honda launched the Forza 750 in 2021, it was widely regarded as the spiritual and technical successor to the Integra. Many motorcycle journalists described it as “Integra 2.0” because it retained the same basic engine architecture, frame concept, and DCT transmission while adding significantly more comfort, technology, and premium styling.

An Interesting Historical Note

Although the Forza 750 is the flagship model today, its roots actually lie in two different Honda lineages:

The Forza family (premium scooters beginning in 2000).
The Integra family (DCT-powered scooter/motorcycle hybrids beginning in 2012).

The Forza 750 effectively merged these two concepts into a single machine: the practicality and luxury of the Forza range combined with the powerful twin-cylinder engine and DCT technology developed for the Integra.
