I´ve taken to riding like the fellow in THIS pic:
http://yamaha2.ecritel.net/actu/IMG/jpg/18majesty-400-action-08.jpg
with my feet against the angled section. There´s no comflict between my knees and the bars, but likely I´m shorter in height?

Changes that I´d like to see in a redesign include:
(a) A lower seat height.
Compare the YY150T-2 from China Benzhou Vehicle Industry Group:

Noted that the YY150T-2 is only a 150cc machine with 12" wheels but the dimentions are similar-
YP400: 2230 x 780 x 1380mm
YY150T-2: 2,260 x 760 x 1,365mm

(b) A larger front wheel, with Hossack-style steering.
(c) The CG moved forward.
(d) Improved suspension, and . .
(e) More engine response at speeds under 30kph.

Regards.
