Eicma 2025 will open to the public on November 6th, but in styleshow your handHonda play ahead and put the spotlight on what, even visually, always has a certain importance for those who choose one scooter: the liveries. Strength 125 And Strength 350 they have been updated in view of the 2026 season with a palette that shows the family imprint with a GT orientation and consolidates the image of city maxiscooters capable of tackling even more important trips. And the numbers prove the strategy right, as confirmed by the over 17,000 units registered between 125 and 350 in 2025 alone on the European market, data that speaks of a now structural success.

three shades plus one

Technically unchanged, the 350 gets a makeover with three new colors plus a Special Edition. The confirmed Pearl Falcon Gray color is accompanied by Pearl Cool White, matt red Mat Carnelian Red Metallic and matt gray Mat Cynos Gray Metallic. The special edition “Pearl Nightstar Black” is only offered in version Deluxewith 45 liter top box and contrasting red details. Choices that aim to underline the dual sport-GT character. As in 2025, the equipment remains very complete, which includes, among other things, a 5″ TFT color screen with Honda RoadSync connectivity, an electric windshield with 180 mm travel, HSTC traction control, a USB-C socket, an underseat capable of accommodating two full-face helmets and a Smart Key, i.e. the “intelligent” key which on the Deluxe version also operates theopening and locking the top box as standard. Furthermore, the display uses optical bonding to improve readability in the sun, a detail commonly used on premium cars, which makes a difference in everyday driving.

only one color for the 125

Honda’s European 125 remains a certainty and for Italy it will be offered in aunique chromatic versionthe updated Matte Pearl Pacific Blue color. The logic is clear, an elegant and easily recognizable colour, which distinguishes it from its numerous rivals and enhances the taut surfaces of the full-LED frontwithout dispersing the offer into too many variations. The equipment package remains the one introduced with the 2025 restyling and inspired by the larger displacement Forza models. It includes a 5″ color TFT screen with Honda RoadSync that can be managed from the left block, an electric windshield with 180 mm of travel, a USB-C socket in the underseat compartment, a Smart Key and a illuminated helmet holder under the saddlewith enough capacity for two integrals. All elements that have contributed to pushing the 125 beyond the threshold of 140,000 units sold in Europe since 2015.

what they share

Forza 125 and 350 share details that make the difference in everyday lifesuch as: the electric windshield with a travel of 180 mm, which switches in an instant from motorway protection to freedom in the city; the full LED lighting system which improves visibility and look; HSTC traction control for greater safety on treacherous surfaces. Then there is the USB-C socket always at hand, the Smart Keys which fits in your pocket and eliminates the use of classic keys and above all the 5″ TFT screen with RoadSync, bright and readable even in the sun thanks to the optical bonding technology of the display.

European success made in Italy

Behind the new colors there is once again an industrial and market history, because both were created in the Honda factory in Atessain Abruzzoan Italian “home” for one of the best-selling GTs. Since the reintroduction of the name in 2013, the Forza family has exceeded 200,000 units in Europe, while 125 alone, which can guarantee up to 500 km of autonomyis already over 140,000. These are numbers that justify the obsessive attention to detail: the optically glued display, the illuminated saddle pad and the emergency braking signal Ess on the direction indicators of the 350. Small touches that make the difference.
