How much is a used Honda Forza 350 worth?

A 2023 Honda Forza 350 in good condition with around 9,000 miles is worth roughly £3,650 (typical range £3,300–£4,000). Dealer asking prices sit higher than private sales, and a full service history, no crash damage and an unbroken theft record are what hold a bike at the top of its range.

How quickly does the Honda Forza 350 depreciate?

We don't yet hold model-specific depreciation for the Honda Forza 350. Our default estimate for machines of this kind is a loss of about 30% over three years, against a 25–32% norm for bikes generally — treat it as a starting point rather than a measurement of this model. Bikes hold value considerably better than cars, which typically lose 40–50% over the same period.

Can you ride the Honda Forza 350 on an A2 licence?

Yes. The Honda Forza 350 sits inside the A2 power and power-to-weight limits as standard, so no restrictor is needed.

How much does it cost to insure a Honda Forza 350?

Expect around £340 a year to insure a Honda Forza 350, typically £260–£460. That assumes age 30, 3yrs NCB, suburban postcode. Bike premiums move far more on licence tier, rider age and postcode than car premiums do, so treat this as a starting point rather than a quote.

What goes wrong on a used Honda Forza 350?

The wear and failure points we track for the Honda Forza 350 are: cvt drive belt (around 16-20k mi, £220); battery (around every 3-4 years, £70-90); front brake pads (around 8-12k mi, £60-80). We don't publish a reliability score for bikes — the MOT dataset behind our car scores doesn't support one at model level — so treat these as the specific things to inspect rather than a verdict. A full service history and a fresh MOT without advisories remain the best protection.

Is the Honda Forza 350 likely to be stolen?

The Honda Forza 350 is a moderate theft target. Mid-capacity scooters are stolen for delivery work in London — chain + disc lock plus overnight garaging meaningfully reduce risk. Sold to a wide buyer demographic so resale is easy for thieves. Theft is concentrated in E, N, SE, SW postcode areas. A Thatcham-approved chain and ground anchor, a disc lock and a tracker are what insurers look for, and secure overnight storage moves a premium more than almost anything else.

Honda Forza 350

Q: What does a Honda Forza 350 cost to run?

Expect around 78 mpg, about £280 a year in fuel or energy, £180 for an annual service, £180 a pair for tyres every 9,000 miles. Figures assume 3,000 miles a year, the UK average from DfT travel and traffic statistics, and current DESNZ pump prices. The cost-of-ownership table on the profile breaks this down per year and per mile.

Honda's mid-capacity sports-GT scooter. Liquid-cooled 330cc eSP+ single, CVT automatic, A2-license friendly. The natural upgrade for PCX125 commuters wanting motorway-capable performance without committing to a manual bike. Strong residuals reflect Honda's reliability and the genuinely premium spec — TFT dash, smart key, two-helmet underseat storage, electric screen, traction control as standard. Closest rival is the Yamaha XMAX 300, which is comparable but typically £500-700 more new.

The short version

64/100

Forecourt score

Value 50 · Insurance 79 · Theft 65

The Honda Forza 350 is cheap to insure (around £340/yr typical). Theft risk is moderate. It's A2-licence legal in standard form. The main thing to check on a used one is the abs modulator (rare). We don't yet hold model-specific depreciation for the Honda Forza 350; our default estimate is around 30% lost over three years.

A bike-specific blend of value retention, insurance and theft risk (weighted 40/35/25). Bikes carry no MOT reliability data, so reliability isn't scored. Higher is better. The value pillar uses our default estimate for this bike, not a model-specific figure.

Holding value

Bikes hold value far better than cars — typical motorcycle 3-year depreciation is 25–32%, against cars' 40–50%. Some bikes (Hayabusa, Gold Wing, classic Z1000) actually appreciate in the 7–15 year zone as cult demand outstrips supply.

How we estimate this

We don't yet hold model-specific depreciation for this bike. The figures above are our default estimate for machines of this kind, currently applied to 34 models in the catalogue — treat them as a starting point, not a measurement of this model. Bike residuals depend heavily on theft history, service-stamp count and crash-damage signatures. Figures assume a clean, fully-stamped example.

What it costs to own

Over

Indicative running costs at 3,000 miles a year — the UK average from DfT travel and traffic statistics. Belt or shaft drive eliminates the chain/sprocket consumable; tax (typically £25–£100/yr) and depreciation are excluded — see the section above for value retention.

Fuel / energy£840

Service costs assume independent specialist labour and OE parts. Tyre intervals reflect typical UK road riding — track-day usage burns through rear tyres in <2,000 miles. Fuel uses the variant MPG at the current DESNZ pump price of £1.60/L (week commencing 03/08/2026). Electric bikes are costed from battery capacity and published range at the current domestic electricity price; where a bike has no published range we show no energy line rather than guess. Lower-mileage riders see proportionally lower totals; higher-mileage commuters pay roughly linearly more.

How we estimate this

Premiums combine licence tier, rider age, no-claims bonus and a risk-profile multiplier on top of a bike-specific baseline. Bike insurance is materially more sensitive to licence tier (CBT / A1 / A2 / A) than car insurance, and young riders pay considerably more than older riders even on the same machine. Always get individual quotes before buying.

Theft risk

Bike-specific · Met Police + insurance reporting

UK bike theft rates are an order of magnitude higher than car theft. Nakeds and supersports lose more to professional gangs; large adventure bikes and tourers are statistically much safer.

Theft risk score · 1 to 4

Medium risk

Postcode prefixes only; full London hot zone runs across E, N, NW, SE, SW, W boroughs depending on the model.

What this means for you

Mid-capacity scooters are stolen for delivery work in London — chain + disc lock plus overnight garaging meaningfully reduce risk. Sold to a wide buyer demographic so resale is easy for thieves.

How we set this band

Bands derived from Met Police bike-theft reporting (most-stolen lists) cross-referenced with insurance industry underwriting data. Model + postcode are the two biggest factors in motorcycle theft risk in the UK, materially more than vehicle value.

What goes wrong

5 known issues · sorted by severity

Documented failure modes from UK owner forums, dealer service bulletins, and aggregated mechanic feedback. Mileages are approximate — different riders see different intervals depending on use and maintenance. Always address "high"-severity items before resale.

How we score severity

High — strands the bike or causes consequential damage if left. Medium — service item that affects ride quality or risks failure. Low — cosmetic or minor inconvenience. Costs are independent-specialist UK rates for parts and labour together; main dealer prices typically run 30–50% higher.
