How did you decide on the C400X, instead of the C650, one of the Burgmans, or the Yamaha XMAX? I’m still evaluating scooters, so any insights are helpful.

[@thomasmeyer8336]

@@SoCalLifer c650 was first try of BMW to make a scooter . It´s very heavy and not so good Quality as the 400x here BMW has learned . Before the 400x I had a c650 after a longer trip on the german Autobahn the rear swing arm was knocked out kompletly ithink to hot 1800 € Repair . If you want somethimg like an c650 buy a bmw Rt 1200 or 1250 thts very much better for Touring . The suzuki Burgmann is also a Touringscooter too heavy for urban use i think and bad for cornering with his ground clearance 400 x is agil handy and its easy to be fast with it .

Me too! My wife and I have a pair of Yamaha Majesty 400s, that we love. 2007 and 2009, virtually NO problems, cheap to maintain and insure, do 94mph, paid $2600 for each. I loved riding mine, but after I bought the Africa twin, it seems like a pile of rattling junk, that requires a lot of attention to steer. So I sold mine, the wife still likes hers, but we’re looking at a BMW now.

Hi man, strange coincidence here, I bought a forza 300 before you bought this scooter and this video explains exactly why, I got a naked that I take out for a blast and the twisties for pure fun and I thought to buy a scooter that can do motorway speed and it's more comfy than a goldwing and has loads of luggage capacity, in my mind that's the perfect combo, having a bike for a blast and a scooter that you use for touring as not everyone affords a touring motorcycle. Stay safe and keep up the good work!

I'm such a noobie but my guess will be that Motojitsu will soon recognize and recommend scooters for all new riders. As the learning curve is massive with a typical motorcycle and having an automatic transmission frees up so much of you're mental resources.

The 300cc and up scooters are basically automatic motorcycles. Those scooters are also heavy enough for freeway riding. I used to have a true 200cc Suzuki Burgman (California) which weighs 365 lbs. It is suitable for freeway riding. I upgraded to the 415 lb Sym Citycom 300i which is great for freeway riding. The weight of a scooter matters a great deal when riding on the freeway. It's not always about the CC's

[@joespina3019]

Your 💯 right not always about speed and cc’s if the scooter is made in design to handle a 50 cc, you will upgrade 100cc that body on the 50 cc is not designed to handle the power of 100 cc it’s not safe to ride

[@Greg-zg3vv]

Hello ! Since I have a Honda Forza 300 cc scooter, I'll share one piece of advice : do not overuse the rear brake while reving the motor at slow speed for figures 8... The dry clutch on these machines will overheat fast and won't last long. The rear brake against motor to balance the missing clutch does wonder for really slow stability, but the dry clutch will vanish ! Happy riding !

[@MotoJitsu]

The C 400 X is a wet clutch.

[@Greg-zg3vv]

@@MotoJitsu Sorry man, it's a dry centrifugal clutch, according to BMW specs...

[@MotoJitsu]

You said, do not overuse the rear brake while reving the motor...using the rear brake on the bike has nothing to do with the clutch...slipping the clutch on a "normal" bike may mess up the clutch if done incorrectly but using the rear brake just uses the rear brake.

[@Greg-zg3vv]

@@MotoJitsu Seems you're still lacking knowledge on scooters with a dry centrifugal clutch followed by a continuously varaible transmission... I'll explain : when the revs go up, the automatic clutch by centrifugal force starts to engage, thus it starts turning the first pulley of the variable transmission. But until the motor is high enough in the revs, the clutch isn't fully engaged, thus the friction heating and damaging the clutch. At a point around and above 20km/h, the clutch will be fully engaged. When you do figure 8 or very slow speed exercise, under 20 km/h, you have no stable traction available, a good trick to gain a very stable controlable traction is to keep the revs around 2500-3000, so that the clutch send traction, and control the lower speed with the rear brake. This allow you a stable 1km/h movement if you wish, but do it 1 min and after you can smell the famous heated metal... Scooters don't behave like a usual bike with a multidisk in oil clutch that is basically not heating, and you can't control them like you used to control your bike, it's a mechanical reason. But you're welcome to prove me wrong and show me a slow speed exercise at a steady 4-5 km/h without being jerky with on/off throttle, which will overheat the automatic clutch as well, and without bypassing the jerkiness by rear brake. I'm sorry, this is just the way those machines works. You're great at control of usual bikes, no doubt about it. But please do a little research on those scooters like your new c400, and mostly all other scooters with continuously variable transmission, and dry centrifugal clutch, and you will understand what I'm trying to explain (english isn't my mother language). And save yourself mechanical troubles. The Yamaha T-Max is a bit different, they did put a multidisk in oil clutch, same for the Kimco AK 550. I have a doubt about the 650 Burgman, dry clutch or wet, it's a strange beast with a false variable transmission... All 300cc and less scooters that I know about work the way I described, and have the same flaw at low speed. This is the reason my Honda Forza 300 is annoying me, I live in a town on a hill, like San Francisco if you wish, and since in Switzerland filtering is illegal, in uphill congestion I'm heating my clutch, I know the heated metal smell far too often for my pleasure... My Honda reseller aknowledged that the clutch should usually last 15k miles in a usual flat city as a commuter, but that in this town it may well be done under 7k miles... Have fun, and my bet is this scooter won't be fun for you for really long. They're practical and interesting as a daily commuter in a dense city, but apart from that they have their own flaws...

Personally if it’s not a 200cc or above bike I wouldn’t recommend it. While a 150 or 125cc can keep up, most ppl on the highway drive at least 5-15 mph over the speed limit at least where I’m at so it’s better to be safe…

Many bikers are worried about small capacity scooters keeping up with traffic. Well, the (now discontinued in Europe) Suzuki Burgman 200cc will easily keep up with highway traffic (75-80 top speed).

Why did you go with the BMW? Also there are lots of 2019-2020 Burgman 400 (400cc) out there for the same price as the C 400x (which is 350cc kymco engine)?

I have a 2004 honda silverwing sustains over 100mph up mountain passes loaded with gear and luggage. Hits 114 on the way down. Went 2800 miles in 7 days, never once got passed.

[@eddiebanks6704]

Sounds like your driving recklessly…

[@AquilaTheHun]

I think even though (good) scooters above certain cc are capable of a lot of things on various roads and circumstances, because of the wheel size they are basically not meant to be ridden long distances but for (sub)urban comfy commuting... I like this BMW one, really nice and convincing! 😊

[@MotoJitsu]

ok

[@AquilaTheHun]

@@MotoJitsu Why did you get one, by the way?

[@MotoJitsu]

Watch the video when I bought it.

[@AquilaTheHun]

Ooops, ok, I must have missed that bit.

[@chrisvilavelha]

I just rode my 2006 Burgman 400 on a round trip of 600kms, 70 mpg, on a mix of all types of roads, with about 3 tons of baggage under the seat ! hahaha Negative points.... low ground clearance, 'bout the same as my last bike, (1200 Sportster), not good on deep sand, you can do it, very slowly with both feet hanging off the sides ready to stop a fall, you can't feather the centrifugal clutch, but that just be 'coz my scoot is old !!! That's about it ! Maxiscoots are an absolute blast !

[@solosportbikerider5734]

That's a high quality B.M.W. Scooter not a regular Scooter, guy on a Scooter, Scooter on the highway, farewell my friend from Spain and this the last time I see you again.

[@kirillsemenchenko8015]

That scooter is good for highway, because its really fast for a scooter) My old yamaha fascion has a speed limit of ~55 mph but its enough for Indian highways

[@androiduser306]

I had a friend who drove a 49cc scooter on a expressway because he had to go to work

[@MotoJitsu]

not smart.

[@jamesjirik2245]

This is great brother seriously, looking for a scooter. Did your Doordash on. I’m hoping to have some thing on the back and obviously I’d like to take a passenger on meaning I have enough room to put either a passenger or a doordash box in the back of me and then also one on my back.

[@matthew1973]

That BMW looks fun. I want to check one of those out. All my bikes are sport bikes id like something comfy to roll around on .

[@MotoJitsu]

Go test ride some :)

[@matthew1973]

I will i got to find a dealership in Maryland. I'm on the coast so it might be a hike but lets do it.

[@bipme4495]

How are you doing those swerves on that thing? I thought counter steering but your handles seem perfectly stationary to me. Are you doing those with your body alone?

[@MotoJitsu]

Same way on any bike...push forward on the handlebar in the direction you want to go. Body alone doesn't so much of anything. If you haven't already, check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.

[@mlee3331]

Most would consider scooters as scooters not motorcycles although this is debatable. Could you give us a video on this topic MotoJitsu?

[@MotoJitsu]

It's 2 wheels, it's a motorcycle. If you haven't already, check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.

[@charlesrose7212]

Awesome machine. Thanks! 😀

[@julianhampton8799]

That was Terrifying for some reason Anxiety through the roof.

[@mikeoporto6365]

I personally like the form factor of a scooter, but hate the high rpm sound it emits every single time.

[@blondiejoe]

I have a vespa gts 300. Did you try one of those? I just got motorcycle to see which I prefer but the vespa is tons of fun.

[@MotoJitsu]

I didn't try it

[@ThatThrottle]

Awesome! Looks like you're having so much fun on your scooter! 👏👏👏 How has fuel efficiency been for you based on your style of riding?

[@daviddraper6240]

Thanks for the post.. Are you going to change the oil yourself for the first service?

[@frankstocker5475]

This scooter is not so popular in Europe it doesn't have a good reputation, some issues with the drive & throttle sticking. The Honda Forza 350, Honda Forza 750, Yamaha Tmax, Yamaha 400 Xmax are the big sellers. You have plenty to test for your channel.

92mpg, £10 to fill the tank, looks cool, Vespa life 😀

[@Robert-t1p]

60 to 65mph hour is fast enough though for even the highway.The wind is hitting your head like a cyclone.And is not good for the hearing.a helmet and earplugs is a must when traveling long distance at 60 to 65mph.and make frequent stops.to cool the tires and motor.and ride at night in the desert when hot.

[@LuckyRufey]

Riding 70 on the freeway with one hand for no good reason… riding with a foot on the gas tank like that… you are going to learn a hard lesson my friend… hope it’s not too painful

[@check-itprod.3260]

I'm a huge fan of Maxi Scooters and love taking them camping/traveling. Thanks for the video.

Hi MJ, Just got a Helix but eventually want to move up to the BMW 400. Ever doing a meet up? Would like to talk more about your scooter.

[@sabbottart]

Great bike! Though it would get stolen in my neighborhood.

[@MotoJitsu]

:)

[@khaledguerfi3477]

Nice video as always...good luck and ride safe.

[@MotoJitsu]

Thanks, will do!

[@roblee1410]

Tractor trailers are scary especially driving a 50cc scooter lol

[@alexworks9659]

Yeah, here In honolulu I don’t think I’ve ever done more than 65… ever.

[@MotoJitsu]

oh yeah?

[@oioier098hen]

I recently bought my first scooter, a Kawasaki J300 after 30 years of riding motorcycles and I locked the back wheel when I was approaching a junction. I had instinctively pulled the lever thinking it was the clutch. I then wondered how it locked up as it was clearly advertised as having ABS, now I know that only the front wheel has ABS! Even after more than a month I have to remind myself that I don't have to change gear, it's weird.

[@MotoJitsu]

that sucks instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

[@dodgethehell]

quite an upgrade from CBR 1000RR....I am talking about skills of course

[@MotoJitsu]

👍🏼

[@jockbuchan7275]

nice. whats with all the motorhomes when you turned off the highway ? Is there a beach there ?

[@MotoJitsu]

Yes this was in Pacific Beach...literally about a mile from the ocean.

[@AbdulraffySHARIFFUDDIN]

Damn what model of bmw scooter are you usin? looks stunning

[@DivergentDroid]

So at 145 miles this engine is not broken in yet. What method of break in do you use, the manufacturers or the popular faster Hard break in method?

[@MotoJitsu]

I have a video about how to break in a new engine MotoJitsu.com for my updated app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.

It would be amazing if they added Apple/Android car play to these.

[@MotoJitsu]

Yes it would!

Greg is now a scooter bro!

lol more like a track rider who has a scooter for fun on the street. that's my goals.

[@johndelacruz4416]

very nice!... I wonder how it performs on long travel with all the baggage loaded on the bike 😀

[@MotoJitsu]

Seems like it'd do fine.

Too much money for a 400cc For me the kymco AK 550 🔥🙌🏼 run 120mph But I love the BMW styles but prices are too far like Yamaha T-Max price goes to almost 12 grand bmw 9 grand
