The J300 may be on my list. I have sat on several before but need to sit on one again to judge whether I can ride one with or without some seat modification.

I put the Puig screen on mine as the standard screen looks good ( sporty ) but is completely useless as far as moving wind and rain off your face/chest,
I chopped about 100mm off the top of the screen as i was looking through it not over it. I then had to buy a Puig deflector as well :lol: ..not a year old yet

I had a J300 for 3 years and never found the floor space to be a problem but it's a personal thing, I guess.

The Xmax would only be slightly better for you as although there is a higher foot position you can't really stretch out.

Can't comment about the Forza.

Old Forza like mine is not so good for anyone over my height (5ft 10), mind you Roger was Ok on it and he's tall.

I traded ponies on the Xmax 300 for the greater feet-forward room on my Nmax 125.
I use the Nmax for city runs and short day trips however - it's very comfy with however with the standard and the comfort seat - but I'll check out the Forza for legroom as soon as one hits the dealer's in Plymouth. No legroom? I'll stick with the Nmax.

Look forward to your thoughts on the Forza Lyn.

I thought the Honda 125 and 300's were the same chassis/body so i was going to have a sit on the 125 today..or am i wrong on that count?

The old Forza 125's and 300's were a completely different bike.

Think the new ones are the same like the J125/300 are.

Lyn, you live in North Wales - rain is a constant thing there normally?
