2015 Honda Forza ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Honda's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Honda Forza ABS relies on a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 88.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Forza ABS measures 204 kg (450 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.27 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 755 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,540 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.33 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 515 km (320 miles) between fill-ups.
