Forza 150 already retails in a majority of Southeast Asian markets as a premium, max-style performance scooter. With the Indian market is witnessing a higher demand for premium vehicles, the Forza 150 can in fact come out to be a formidable rival to the existing Yamaha Aerox 155 and the Aprilia SR150 scooters.

HMSI has informed that its upcoming two-wheeler is going to be a premium model which will retail through its BigWing dealerships. Forza being a premium scooter, could fit perfectly with Honda's BigWing image in the country. However, this also means that its availability will be restricted only to the cities/zones in the country where these dealerships are present. However, there is no official hint from Honda on the same, so rumours hold little ground until the smoke clears out in the second week of August.
