Test ride a new forza 300 on Saturday really impressive bike. Great pick up and throttle response I want to purchase only issue is lack of feet forward riding position......

Re: Seat Re shape
Not sure what you mean by lack of feet forward on this and the XMax 300 - do you have very long legs?
Admittedly there's not as much room as on a TMax, but my 30" legs are well out in front of me on the XMax, and it's all-day comfortable?

Re: Seat Re shape
I must admit at 5ft10 I usually ride my X-max 300 feet forward, but on long runs
sometimes swap between it and bog seat position just for a change.

Re: Seat Re shape
I am 5' 10" and find my xmax 300 a little cramped.
It does not have a true feet forward position like a Burgman 400/650
I wish it had a bit more room

Re: Seat Re shape
I have been in touch with a seat sculptor in Bradford who inform me they can modify the bum rest 2 inches perhaps...so that maybe enough to get the feet position I want
I really prefer the throttle response and sweetness of the forza
