Lately ive had a few questions on my 2023 Yamaha Xmax 300. the main concern is did i sell it and why? So this clip will help clear that side up!

I've only recently become aware of these maxi scooters. As a utilitarian bike, they really do tick a lot of boxes, for me at least. I originally wanted the Honda NC750, which is not a scooter, but does have a large storage area under its tank; but I've have moved on from that idea. I'm so impressed at the power of these maxi scooters' small engines, especially compared to the other 350cc offerings, all of which still need a top box fitted to carry stuff. I've also looked into the valve shim servicing and these scooters appears to be fairly simple when it comes to valve adjustments. By that I mean, you don't need to basically do a top end rebuild just to adjust the shims, as in some cases, plus anywhere up to AUD $2k at a bike shop Not to mentioned a set of tyres is less than half that of other 'bikes'. I appreciate your videos, Warro. Cheers, mate.

well if you want to go even further the vespa hts supersports 300 is i think the best. much more expensive at aud$13500 - i have clips on it in my history

great and good to hear. i clocked 100 klm on mine yesterday. all open road running at 100 kph. did it easy. might be worth thinking about buying the touring seat later. pretty good to sit on and helps with the bumps

still have not fitted my yss shocks to the bike but i guess i will fit them shortly. there still in the spare room waiting...lol deluxe touring seat is a very good addition too. works prettyy good! i'd exp[ect pretty good improvent with the roller kit too so good times ahead. enjoyed todays run on the xmax 300 and thats why i think its the best out of the 8 new scooters i've had in the past 3 years.

yeah i really like the speed 400 too. especially in red. if it was up to me ...i think i'd just buy both and see what happens but the wife said it's not about you....lol just let the subs pick the bike and if your not happy with their choice...you can then go and buy the other one...lol so i really can't lose regardless so i will give the viewers a chance to drop a vote. maybe i will get a swing towards the street 400 and boost its rating. tell ya what if scrambler wins it will want to be pretty good to beat that suzuki vstrom 250 sx the street against hunter.....yeah i'd say easily the street wins but against the suzuli-its such a very good bike. my only regret with the suzuki is bad riding on my very first run and dropping it in the mud. we will put that down to a weak a$$ rider with not much dirt road skills...lol must admit i'm keen to see how the numbers go. my words always good so whatever wins the vote i will buy it and see for myself. plus i still have my triumph leather jacket too so i am ready to rock...lol

Gees Warro, the Yammy scooter in that colour looks fantastic in the sun! I didn’t think you sold it… I naturally thought you’d be getting the Hunter run in🤙 My guess is you’ll choose the Scrambler because I reckon the street will be very close to the Hunter & perhaps with a bit more performance. The Scrambler will be perfect where you’ve just taken the scooter 🙌 All the best Warro! The legend of the Classic 350!🇦🇺💪💪

Cheers for the update Warro I'm debating between buying either xmax 300 or honda cb125f (much cheaper around $3.5k) but I've never riden a manual bike before but reviews show that the cb125f is a great beginner bike I do like how scooters are automatic transmission and the honda pcx is around $5k but only 8L fuel tank. Also another big plus for the xmax is the underseat storage
@ridewithwarro Жыл бұрын
xmax for underseat storage-power -twist and go cb125f for price -easy to ride and good fuel economy pcx160 i had one of those-it was the smoothest to ride out of any bike ive owned. really nice little scooter which looks smart. if you plan to run in traffic -i'd go the pcx160 such a great little set of wheels. sorry really i cash mine as they are very good value and well built

@@ridewithwarro any thoughts on the Yamaha nmax mate? I'm hoping it has decent underseat storage and it's a 155cc engine so a bit better than the pcx125, Australia doesn't get the pcx150 anymore. I do want to learn manual therefore considering 125f but dislike how I can't store helmet anywhere

@@saistark6899 its pretty hard to beat the xmax 300 for storage thats for sure. forza 350 is close but either bike is $10k nmax with a top box could save you $3000 and its a nice scooter too. what you have to remember is the cb125f is cheap but its also down on power. if running flat or city type riding its fine but expect a good drop in speed on hills

Thanks for the heads up on the touring seat. Handy to know. I’ve got a soft spot for scooters and will eventually buy again. Particularly like the pcx160. I know it’s not your cup of tea though. Personally; as far as the Triumph goes; might I suggest that you choose the one that puts the biggest smile on your dial rather than allow us to choose. While we enjoy your content, you need to enjoy your ride.👍

my thoughts yes it is. the forza has a bit more power on tap and better brakes but the suspension is far worse in ride quality and the power screen doesnt really do much. plus in my history i rode both bike back to back and actually owned both. so i owned one forza 350 and 3 xmax 300 all new xmax was the better scooter
