My hip tends to hurt in the feet forward position. If it allowed me to fully extend my leg id be fine. The only one I've tried that allowed that was the massive 600 Yamaha.
That's part of the Fuoco's appeal. :D

Strange, I've ridden virtually all the big 'uns and found that although the Yamaha T Max allows a feet forward position, the amount of leg stretch you can get is dwarfed by that of the Suzuki Burgmans, the 650 Burgman especially.

I did say "big 'uns" so I was referring to the Burgman 400 and 650. I've not actually ridden a Burgman 250.

Managed to get hold of a sh125i 05, 6000 ish miles, one owner......used with his motor home. Hopefully going to pick it up this week. Looking forward to trying it out. I know I won't be able to compare it the sh300, but I'm sure it has its own strengths.
