To be honest I wasn't majorly impressed. Crying or Very sad

It's certainly got the looks but the steering felt heavy and worst of all there's bugger all leg room. I'm 6 feet tall and after 10 minutes my legs were aching like hell, I wanted to stretch my legs forward a bit but there was no space. Confused

Here's a 2 minute video of some close-ups plus me riding it around a car park: Very Happy

just a thought but bike riders are fairly restricted with stretching out their legs with having rear brake and gear change on the footpegs and they seem to manage ok, you don't see many of those sitting on the pillion seat.............

This scoots all about the fun you can have whilst riding it.
If youv'e got time to think about legroom then you arn't riding it right.
My favorate position is the small of my back right in the hump with my heels up on the raised section like a sports bike riding position.
If you can feel your legs then ride faster and you should be so full of adrenaline before long that you'll feel nothing.
I agree the Fuoco isn't for everybody.
Just those that really like to ride hard and don't give a stuff about legroom etc.
Try riding an R6 for a bit see how you get on, I'd like to see them power rangers do Leicester to Mersea non stop and still be able to walk.
Fuoco's just as much fun but at lower speeds, has some legroom at least and has 100 times more storage than an R6.
You can bungie a house to the Fuoco's rear rack with one of them cargo nets.
Power + Grip = FUN, FUN, FUN and more FUN.

A toy with function.
