Hi Ya'll and Happy Easter.  Before I sell my awesome 2013 VFR120 F DCT and buy a Ducati XDiavel, I want to know if anybody has moved the footpegs and brake forward.  My knees just can't take the standard position.

No answer on the foot position switch, I don't know any who have tried it. Seems to me it would really mess up your riding position on the bike in that the VFR 1200 seems designed to have you over top of it rather than behind it. If you make this switch I'll be curious how it works out. In switching foot positions forward do you trade one agony for another - knees for numb bum? Is XDiavel made to go the distance - tank range wise? Will you be able to get your pooch on the back of the XDiavel as well? I do like the one of a kind look of the XDiavel though but think about it more like a potential shorter range ride.
