2023 Piaggio Beverly 400 test ride: a silent and capable machine

This is the test ride of the 2023 Piaggio Beverly 400. This is a capable city machine, a scooter that shines in the city, but is very appropriate also for open roads and even shorter rides on highways. It has a 400 cc single cylinder engine, that produces 35 hp. The strong point of this scooter is the style, the lines and attractiveness. It looks and feels also very modern. It is equipped with the latest tech. Somehow Italians are masters in this field. It has the LED lights, the tacho and a lot more. The engine feels powerful and ready also for a two up ride. I test rode it. There goes also the pros and cons... For more watch the video. 2023 Piaggio Beverly 400 test ride: a silent and capable machine.

This is the best review I've seen so far, you managed to cover everything I wanted to know, well done and ride it with pride. And safely of course.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks a lot James. These were so kind words. You can check my other test rides if you feel so. Currently you can follow my adventure in Romania. Just check the Trip to Romania Series. Have fun bro and sub if you like my content. Ride safe.

I don't know anything about scooters, but had no idea any were that powerful. That's crazy!. Great review as always!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

There are some even more powerful than this one. I rode and filmed the Yamaha Tmax 530. You can check it. :) Thanks for tuning in Roger. I am glad that you like my videos. I hope that you are doing well. I saw that you uploaded some new stuff that I have to watch. :)

[@shuramasmusic]

Even a suzuki 650 burgman. Thats power if you think the 400i is up my nose currently

[@larrywade9041]

I owned a Vespa 250cc & a Vespa 300cc scooter 3-5 years ago. They were top of the line scooters. I really couldn't adjust to feeling as safe on them as opposed to a regular motorcycle @ higher speeds. I also currently own a Yamaha Veno 125cc scooter in which I do like since I only ride it here around in the country. Mostly I only go up to around 40mph. So that scooter I feel o.k. on. I do have other motorcycle's for higher speeds in which I feel fine. So for me, I much prefer the position of a regular motorcycle. But everyone has their own cup of tea. Thank's for your effort in producing these wonderful videos. Have a beautiful day my Slovenian friend!! Illinois, USA

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I also prefer a standard motorcycle over a scooter. Somehow some scooters are better made and perform better. From my experience having bigger wheels contributes to a better feel and also it sure makes the machine more stable and safer in my opinion. This one was a nice one. I also rode and filmed the GTS300 Vespa from Piaggio. You can check it and I am sure you are gonna like it, I mean... the video. :) Joke. Thanks a lot Larry. :) You can already see what it is gonna be my next video. Cheers

[@desmcd1515]

Splendid review of this brilliant bike. Forget Xmax and C400, this the one to get.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for such kind words. Appreciate it. :)

[@user-tv8ut5mr4l]

IVE been on both the 2023 Xmax 300 is better has room under seat for 2 full size helmets.. not tiny like this .. also Xmax rides better feels easier to zip around curves ....Xmax has 75 mpg going 70 mph ....Xmax is way better for what I paid $6299 out the door !!!!

[@user-tv8ut5mr4l]

I'm 6'3" 205 lbs and my knees don't get close at all to handle bars on my 2023 Xmax ....also mirrors on that suck ...sorry the truth ... Xmax is perfect you can see all around in back of you .........there's no doubt about it Xmax is way way way better ....that's why I bought 2023 Xmax that goes 87 mph all day long !!!!!

[@Cryppoun03]

@@user-tv8ut5mr4l87mph?!?! thats it! Id rather take the beverly 400 then

[@user-tv8ut5mr4l]

I've ridden with my friends Bev 400 and he said there's no way he can take off as fast or go as fast as my Xmax 300 !!! Xmax = 397 lbs. BEV 400 = 460 lbs

[@quinnpeaksbiker]

You are welcome my friend. Will do some more. I just hope for the sunny and warm weather. :)

[@Banditmanuk]

A nice honest review. Scooters are not for me but I can see them being great to commute to work on. That one is certainly fast enough

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I agree Richard. I am not a big fan, but it is fun to try some. :) Once I also owned one. It was the Yamaha Majesty 180. :) Thanks for tuning in. Appreciate it mate.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks mate. I believe that with someone going slow it could do even under 4L per 100 km. 👍😀 Take care you too. Cheers.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

My father used to ride their scooters in the 1950s 😁

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

I believe you. Their story is a long one. These machines were invented a long time ago. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@garyvandersluis2368]

If you move the mirrors forward you will find very good rear vision. I have owned my BV400 for over 2 years now, travelled 20000ks and it is still the best mid range Scooter available if a bit expensive. My only complaint , no parking brake

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for the comment mate. Appreciate it. I really didn't try to adjust them in details. :) I like this machine quite a lot.

[@1zanglang]

How many scooters have parking brake?

[@garyvandersluis2368]

@@1zanglang no idea but Yamahas T Max range does

[@1zanglang]

@@garyvandersluis2368 Yeah, right. You know, the vast majority of scooters have no parking brakes. There are some like ridiculously expensive Yamaha, you mentioned and some models made by SYM which have a parking brake activated by the side stand. The rest have the center stand...

@@1zanglang You can check my Tmax test ride.

[@sergiolacueva9443]

Gracias por los subtitulos en español. Yo tengo un beverly 350 desde hace 10 años y estoy muy contento. Estoy pensando en cambiarla por el 400. Un saludo enorme desde Zaragoza (España) Ah, y me encantan los scooters y maxiscooters!!! Será que me estoy haciendo mayor... 😅

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Muchas gracias amigo. I usually do the subtitles in English and then you have the possibility to pick the translation in almost any language that YT offers. :) I agree about the Beverly. A great machine and it goes very nicely. You can also check my video about the Yamaha Tmax. :) Scooters are nice and they serve the purpose of riding as much as bikes do in my opinion.

Cool scooter. I've still never ridden a scooter.

This one was a lot of fun. :) You should try one. I think that it is gonna be a piece of cake considering that you rode some very heavy machines. :) Thanks for taking the time bro. Appreciate it.

[@user-tv8ut5mr4l]

Don't get this scooter get the 2023 Xmax 300. It is far superior than this ....I know I tested both .....Xmax has more storage ...in fact twice as much storage under the seat better gas mileage better mirrors better everything

[@jerrycarter1928]

That reservoir was for the cooling system not the brakes.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

To be honest I dont remember, but I would agree. Thanks for the mentioning it. Ride safe bro.

[@ericbasa7020]

Lep skuter in se resno zanimam za nakup. Pregledal tudi konkurenco podobne moči ampak mi ta najbolj sede. Je v Kopru možna testna vožnja za vsakogar?

[@MarkSalisbury-qi2vw]

Anyone know the ground clearance of this machine? I need to know if it would be ok on a gravel/dirt road. Thanks

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

There is no data about it. I didn't find it. In my opinion a gravel road would be OK, but nothing more. Thanks for taking the time bro.

[@davidpanik2565]

I tried beverly 350 on gravel road and dry offroad conditions with second passenger. To my surprise it was not so bad as I expected.

This scooter is everything you want except silent. Or you're deaf, perhaps...

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Thanks for the comment mate.

[@1zanglang]

@@RRRRefuelRideRace Don't get delusional, I am not your mate. I wanted to buy this scooter and went to test it, as I saw in multiple review videos how loud it is and how much noise comes from the transmission. My concerns were confirmed in the first two minutes of riding it so I turned back to dealership after less than two kilometers of riding. That was a shame because, even if the combination of tall front wheel and that 35 HP engine looked interesting, its annoying noise killed any ”attraction”.

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@1zanglang I see. Yours was probably really loud. This one that I rode just the opposite.

[@stulys9349]

The 2023 Xmax is far better ....I've ridden both and there's no comparasin after you ride both and compare under seat 2 full size helmets compared to a tiny little kids area in Bev ....and vision of mirrors no comparrisin top speed and gas mileage NO COMPARRSIN NUFF SAID
