Piaggio BV350 versus Honda Forza

[oliver]

I'm looking to buy my first scoot and think I have it narrowed down to the two in the subject line

The Piaggio seems to have the edge on wheel size, warranty and CCs but the Honda just looks so nice :-)

Is there any reason to go with one or against another? I thinking in terms of aftermarket parts and maintenance etc

Any others I should consider in the same price range and with the same power (min 250cc)

I'll hopefully be using it to commute to/from work which has just become ~100 miles (but only once or twice a week)
