Its a question of femur length and whether you want to use the feet forward option.
Knee clearance isn't the best and the front footrests are uncomfortably steep and too close for some.
A seat modification/change could make all the dfference though.
You need to try it on for size to see if it suts you.
And if it does, its the best 300 scooter available.
Well the ABS version is.

Dealer called me they have a Forza.

They finished uncrating it, and it is now ready for the show room.

I rode over on my NC700X, I should have rode over on the Burgman 650 as it is about 30-40 minute ride and that would have given some better feed back, for me anyway.

While I did not test ride it, it is a honda, I am sure it is good, but is it right for me?

First look, size, seating, can i stretch out enough.

I liked the overall look.

But, it looked small, overall average height was LOW!!.

When I sat of the bike the seat seemed comfy enough, but hard to tell until an hour in the saddle.

Leg room was rather short being able to stretch out, may be a problem, like some have said a taller seat maybe about 2"-3" taller in the center to provide more leg room, by moving you up and back, may be enough for much more comfort.

It is rather short/compact, Gauges looked good.

I would like to have someone compare the Forza 300 with the Burgman 400

Burgman has more legroom and is faster.
Forza more economical and better in heavy traffic.

local guy has a 07' burgman 400, with less than 6k miles and looks like new for $3,300.

It looks like a really good deal.

If he takes $3k I will do the deal

thanks guys
