Journeying around the Midwest on a Yamaha Xmax - ep. 1 | Following the Rock River to Sabula

Welcome to our video as Xmax and I embark on an exploration of northern Illinois. Join us as we follow the majestic Rock River, venturing towards the captivating island city of Sabula, situated along the banks of the Mississippi River. Throughout our voyage, we pass thru six charming towns, each one with its own unique charm. The aim of this series is to scoot and explore areas we otherwise would never think about exploring.
I hope you enjoy this first episode, as always, please leave any suggestions in the comment section.
Thank you!

Great video can't wait for part 2

[@nemanjatosovic]

Thanks! I’ll see to do a series exploring other cool places. Do you think I should add a bit of commentary?

[@keving1633]

@@nemanjatosovic Definitely some brief commentary about each town and what you liked about it would be cool. Good work. I've got a '22 XMAX myself!

​@nemanjatosovic sorry for the late reply but 100% I don't know if you can do this but if you could do a bird's eye view of the area you about to drive through before you do it that would be cool

The XMAX is so great…..wish we could buy the upper versions they have in Europe

Hey, I have a question?? I’m about to get a scooter but kinda confused lol. I’ll be riding mostly city and occasionally some highway. I’m trying to choose between the Zumba 125, Yamaha XMax 300 or the Kymco AK 550. (all brand new) the only thing that is throwing me off about the XMax is the color. Both the Zuma and Kymco are all black. Each dealership only has 1 each. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks. I love your videos by the way

[@nemanjatosovic]

Hey, the Zuma is not great for highway use, it’s fairly small, not fast enough to be safe but is great around town. The AK is a great maxi scooter, fast, capable, great value, but in the US it’s a bit hard to live with a Kymco, support isn’t great. The Xmax is a good blend of everything, capable, easy to use in town, fast enough for highway use… They’re all good. If someone would to give me one, I’d ask for a Kymco because it’s the most capable but if I was spending my own money I’d go with one of the two Yamahas

@@nemanjatosovic thank you, this helped me so much. Last question?? Just say I was using it for city riding only no highway. The fastest street would be 45mph. Would you go with the Zuma 125 or the Yamaha XMax? Have you seen the Can Am Ryker 600?? Thanks

@@sxtsxt6714 if I lived somewhere urban, and didn’t have the need to get on the highway, I think Zuma would be a good choice. It’s small, fun, reliable, and about half the price. It’s perfect for places like Miami, New York, LA… But if I needed to get on those 55 and up roads, I’d get the Xmax.

@@sxtsxt6714, the XMAX goes up to like 75mph…..very capable for highway or suburban roads
