Re: 2018 Forza 300
it's not really feet forward , it was why i opted for the burgman rather than the xmax . much more leg room.mac65 wrote:The X-Max is feet forward!The good news for the arthritically Challenged amongst us, feet forward is retained.

Re: 2018 Forza 300
Granted you can't stretch out fully, but you can put your feet up or flat down. It's a case of try before you buy, if feet forward is important to anyone.

Re: 2018 Forza 300
I wonder if the new one is suitable for anyone over 5' 10"? I just about fit on my Forza in comfort.
And will it have a better fuel gauge and manage to keep the seat up when you open it.

The previous 300 did look tiny! If the new one is based on the current 125, then it might be a bit bigger.mottza wrote:I wonder if the new one is suitable for anyone over 5' 10"? I just about fit on my Forza in comfort.

Re: 2018 Forza 300
Last September I looked at both the Xmax 300 and the Nmax 125, for commuting and some out-of-town riding.
Believe it or not, the Nmax 125 has more feet-forward leg room than the Xmax 300. I chose the Nmax because of the extra legroom. With the touring screen, knuckle guards, top box, touring seat and Lyn's deflector (thank you Lyn!), I'm looking forward to a long, slow tour to Wales and further north this summer.
