The Forza could be out too in that case.
The forward section is quite steep and not far enough away.

Thanks for that info gn2.
This is starting to look a little difficult then.Either I forgo certain comforts or I go bigger. Trouble is I had a couple of 650 Burgmans and I got rid of them because they were so big and heavy. Some people just can't be satisfied.

I could lose some weight I suppose.Not so sure about the height though.
Hiya Funkcowie.
Is JohnP still about?

You would need to try a Forza for size to see how it fits you, but for legroom in a 300ish scoot the X10 is the daddy.

Yeah,a Muppet (at least I think he still is) came over on one the other day.That is a big scoot! Unfortunately I won't buy Italian ever again.

Really wanted new,as this will probably be my last ever scooter purchase.
We have a special offer on a white T-Max 530,I think it's £7,500.I am so tempted but it's a lot of money. Has anyone seen a MK4 this cheap anywhere else?

If quotes from genuine dealer, most other dealers will price match I reckon, when I bought my Husqvarna nuda 900 it was 8150 book price, found another dealer doing them for 7300 as new so my dealer begrudgingly offered it to me for 7350 with a big discount on all future services and parts! try and get a test drive if you can, I think once ya had one ride of the tmax you wont have anything else unless ya want a bg touring scoot, or for same sorta money, the new 750 integra which is top of my to buy list if I ever find myself work again!
