2021 Yamaha XMAX 300 First Ride/Review

I always enjoy riding scooters for whatever reason... never took one on the interstate before and I understand why now, anyways hopefully you enjoyed this nonsense filled video and I’ll catch y’all in the next one!

[@jimw7916]

Its NOT a "scooter"....its a maxi-scooter! ........If you pull hard on that left lever you will NOT lockup the rear brake cos it has ABS! ....75 MPH uphill (in comfort) and you are complaining! .............. what on earth do you WANT to ride??????

[@reviewmirror591]

What are you talking about?? This scooter is solid as a rock on the motorway, also it's not light @ 180 kg. The frame is all metal, the brakes and suspension is great. The plastics is just the surface. I have been riding an xmax on highway all this summer and not once have it felt out of place.

[@alexparada607]

Just seeing that he's riding the whole time on the left lane, making cars pass him on the right lane, I will say that he's not ready to ride any bike, lol. Those are solid bikes.

[@R6Dave11]

He sucks.

[@1zanglang]

He also said there is not so much space under the saddle. For a dude who is riding especially sport motorcycles, this seem "normal". Usually sport motorcycles have a station wagon comparable trunk... This is the usual entitled moron showing off his tasteless sarcasm.

[@yamaharider8014]

Yeah I had a Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter that did great on the Freeway. I may soon get an X-Max300 to replace my Super Tenere...👍😺

[@sebastiancorral7791]

So…are you reviewing it or just making fun of it?

[@lancemurray43]

I ride an nmax 150 regularly on the freeway at 100 klm. I can’t understand what his problem is on a 300 cc xmax. Perhaps stick to the sports bike as this scooter is too scary.🤨

[@Watson2108]

Exactly my thoughts. The Xmax 300 can easily hold 80mph/ 130kph

[@JesseeS1990]

Scooters are always great to have in the arsenal. We all love big fast bikes, sometimes it's just fun to tool around with zero stress

[@johnf4008]

I got one, exact color, love the ride, gets me everywhere fast. I had half a tank for two weeks im still on 1/4 tank. So it has great gas mileage. Power is decent, can carry light groceries. Its the perfect commute bike for me. As far as on the freeways, of course youll get windage and its how you respond when it happens. I researched this bike and it was a perfect fit. Going to ride later.

[@IvanRides]

How much to fill up the tank?

[@edwardpurkis6432]

I got zilch information from that. I’d be pretty pissed if I had leant the bike out just to have it mocked by the Sports bike rider. I am looking at a late second hand model, and I want to know a bit about it. Looks as if I need to look elsewhere.

[@marionkyman]

Light? Really? 4 pounds short of 400 pounds is light? It's an all metal frame. This was the first scooter I test rode when I started shopping. Rode GREAT on the Interstate doing 80 mph. Of course there's wind....it's a scooter. Even motorcycles get that.

[@stevemiller7433]

Hell, I ride my Vespa 300 on I-5 at 75mph. Comfortable but passing trucks is a windy experience.

[@okinawanah3463]

I don’t ride often and have to take the battery out for long term parking at work , is there a manual way to access the battery?

[@harrykP9]

Couldn't get through all of it without getting sick. Shakey camera, very excited 14yo.

[@justinspace1]

Just got mine a month ago and really like it a lot. I’m a new rider. Mine also does not have the ABS badging on the forks like I see the older models have. Guess they just didn’t put them on this year

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

But still has ABS, right?

[@nunuheslop]

Hi, thanks for posting this video. I am now thinking of upgrading my scooter from the Jiajue 150cc scooter bike. I hear you make several negative judgments about your Yamaha Xmax. You have to trust your bike. With my Jiajue 150cc, I ride the 1-84, I-95, Taconic highway, and pretty much every long-distance highway around New York. I also ride to work on a highway 35 miles distance and my Chinese off-brand seems to do me well and a pretty good job on bumpy local roads. Your scooter is way more capable than mine for a 292cc. Just trust your scooter man.

[@okinawanah3463]

Have had a ZX14 and Concours but looking for this because can’t afford an FJR

[@mikef9126]

If he loses the word professional. The name would be perfect

[@bigbean78]

Nice review! How about a Honda PCX test?

[@billpapadimitropoulos1191]

what a bunch of crap... it is stable on motorways , traveling 80 mph you can sip coffee with one hand on the bars, i would have taken it up to 120mph if it could, with that said up to 90 it is super stable, strong winds will get any bike, but i really never felt any worse on this, probably better...

[@atcpilotsc]

go to the store - buy a six pack and some nappies.... review.

[@MALNTV]

Perfect daily commuter for driving 60 miles round trip to work

[@thebulgarianguy8461]

Painful to watch

[@tkarlmann]

His first comment is about the exhaust pipe cap? Who cares?

[@ruthiesweety]

what license should you get to drive this kind of motorcycle? thank you

[@ThePepper5150]

motorcycle license

[@sashimiwolf]

Depends on the state.

[@tld2245]

Transformer, or possibly a Deceptacon since it looks so angry. 😂 even the speedometer looks like two eyes that has horns and ears coming off of it.

[@iceboxer205]

Anybody know the weight limit for this scooter?

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

I remember reading either 400 pounds or something.

[@mungomidge1090]

Good review and the side panel is definitely there to store a Glock 9mm, it says it in the manual.

[@mig50cc]

Any Glock 9mm? Like the 34 or 17L?

[@sashimiwolf]

I'd rather go 75 on the highway than 175.

[@pauls8456]

Test ride a bike at 70mph without a jacket on? Would you ride a sports bike for the first time at that speed without a jacket?

[@theprofessionaldillweed6235]

Yes. And I have. If I crash at those speeds I don’t want to live :)

[@pauls8456]

@@theprofessionaldillweed6235 probably the dumbest comment I have ever read from a you tuber. What if you crashed at 40mph? You won’t likely die but having no jacket on will mean a very uncomfortable hospital stay. Why gloves and no jacket? People without much experience may be watching your videos - set a good, sensible example.

[@theprofessionaldillweed6235]

You’re not good at detecting sarcasm

[@pauls8456]

@@theprofessionaldillweed6235 yes that seems to be true - point taken. Still please wear a jacket, at least in videos.

[@USARAY1947]

@@theprofessionaldillweed6235 Crashes aren't black or white, live or die. You'll likely wind up crippled and/or deformed/scarred . In most cases it will be painful as hell. It was entertaining seeing a "professional" so frightened on a scooter.

[@yamaharider8014]

I had a Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter, and it was flawless on the Interstates. I may soon replace my top-heavy Super Tenere with an X-Max300. I also had a Yamaha Vino125. Yamaha makes great bikes...👍😺

[@fredblogsmac.5697]

a very humorous revie. well done..

[@joeyolton]

I've been trying to find one in pa and it's so hard. I want one lol

[@robl3415]

I just purchased a 2019 from PA. I paid to much for it but is what it is.

[@joeyolton]

@@robl3415 we've all been there man. I've done the same

[@user-tv8ut5mr4l]

I'm picking up my new 2023 Xmax 300 at K&N cycles in Tulsa, OK.....it seems like a steal for $6299 no dealers or destination charge of 1K .....what a deal !!!! They have almost the same price in Arkansas also !

[@brianrichard1768]

the euro version looks better. no stalks

[@hawkermustang]

Who makes the fastest scooter?

[@theprofessionaldillweed6235]

I think it’s Suzuki with the Burgman? Not sure

[@dp4auburn]

BMW C650 can do 112mph, which is just a couple more than the Burgman.

[@hawkermustang]

@@dp4auburn ok

[@dsldn7701]

Gilera GP800 , hits 130mph

[@patrickhiggins4562]

Kymco 550 115mph

[@mylordass8120]

Ok.... So you're scared of doing 112- 120 Kmph, you should try the T-Max then, 560cc Scooter. The X-Max is 19 Kg heavier than my YZF-R3, it's not a light bike for 300cc class. All the weight is down low so it gives you the elusion of being a light scooter. With a few light bolt on mods the X-Max will do 160 Kmh.

[@tkarlmann]

What do you "bolt on" to get that performance? I was concerned that can only put 11 measly pounds of groceries under the seat; is that for real?

[@guysmith3146]

The brake levers look bashed about.

[@BBK81788]

I've always had the impression that most people that ride sports bikes and other types of motorcycles think scooters are real dorky and don't really care for them.

[@user-tv8ut5mr4l]

TOO bad for them....they don't know what their missing on those NO STORAGE CROUCH ROCKETS

[@go5582]

hi handsome. nice video. does this feel luxurious? more videos.

[@shaquonriley7917]

Such a contradicting tone tho

[@juliotorres6868]

I don’t quite like when the reviews are made from inside the helmet. Sounds like inside a can, well kind of, it is.

[@MrAsspss]

Yeah definitely not for Americans. They do great in Asian markets for city and the occasional highway riding. Cars and trucks are smaller here and people are also a lot lighter. Maybe the reviewer can stick to reviewing things you enjoy to avoid offending a giant following of scooter riders.

[@dunatyphon5416]

Most Americans prefer a big lumbering Harley, Gold Wing, or a crotch rocket.... Scooters just don't compensate for their teeny little wee-wee......

[@go5582]

your glock , sweet
