Motorbike purchased! Stay tuned for an update 😎

[@earlycommodorecommunity]

Grey with Red Wheels 100% mate.

[@250sabre]

Red max with red wheels !! Hands down !!

[@johnjroot202]

Agreed

[@cecilchilders7698]

Agreed

[@Donny_beyyy]

Agreed

[@carlossixtysix]

Hands down

[@panithiyeamkeaw2374]

The gray with the red wheel definitely looks better! The red one is also interesting because it's the newer model with new headlights and taillights. Overall I still vote for the gray with the red wheel.

[@CBMedia404]

I'm with you, leaning toward the grey

Chad I have an xmax in Cebu Philippines and I have to tell you 3 things: 1st you are going to be very happy with it because its a very reliable bike. 2nd I would install the original screen back because with the pollution here and there and even wearing glasses you cannot imagine the amount of crap sticking onto your eyes per mile driven in the city. With the higher screen you will enjoy your ride. With that mini screen you will be complaining all the time, I know you. And 3rd: I saw no rearview mirrors on those very sleek xmax models you showed on your vlog, but really dangerous and a couple of good mirrors with long stem could save your ass in certain conditions...just don´t take unnecessary risks man

[@CBMedia404]

I've heard nothing but great things about them! And not much pollution where I'll be using it and honestly if I plan to go far, I'll drive the Evo, it'll be more for running up and down beach road during daily life going to the store or to eat. Thank you for the advice though.

[@RichHarmer]

The mirrors are there, they are just small. I've seen a lot of that in Bangkok in order to stay legal. Personally, I like the regular mirrors on a stick and I use them constantly. Red/Gold is so common here, the grey/red is a much better unique bike. Remember you can get them wrapped for cheap too.

[@colinmoore3986]

Grey With Red Wheels. I had an Xmax 300 but changed it for an NMAX155. I used in Pattaya and jomtien, found the Xmax a bit of a pain in some car parks and parking on slopes. It’s quite long and heavy so hard to get out of car parks when you get boxed in with many bikes. Also be careful parking on a slope, it has no parking brake so it can slide. You’ll find it in the middle of the road :). On the upside, its got a bit more grunt than most scooters, you can fit 24 bottles of beer and 2 bottles of coke under the seat! Also in pattaya you will probably get tugged by the police with the Acropovic Exhaust, just put a standard one on, its a scooter at the end of the day. Ride Safe.

[@CBMedia404]

The size was honestly my biggest concern, like I said I was using a PCX around here and it was perfect but I just can not ride a stock motorbike like everyone else, I have to have something cooler hahaha

[@colinmoore3986]

@@CBMedia404 fair play, but put some mirrors on it and a stock exhaust. If you want a decent bike learn to ride :) Keep up the content great channel to watch 👍

[@symtex8122]

I personally like the gray one better. It doesnt pop out so much and looks stealthier

[@CBMedia404]

Yeah it has real fighter jet vibes!

[@2lives1left]

Chad, over there with the way the traffic is, I would go with the all red! VISIBILITY RULES!

[@hopfrogg9599]

Grey with red wheels all day. I think we can tell from your pitch that it is the one you want. The price isn't bad on that either for all the customization. I went with a big bike, but after a year, I wish I had gone Xmax. The scooters are just easier to get around on. Hell, I'd probably pick a zoomer, except chicks dig riding on the back of the bigger scooters more than a zoomer. The old Forzas were fire, but I don't like the new design. They used to have lovely curves.

[@CBMedia404]

Yeah I think the Xmax might be the perfect middle ground for a get around town bike, I'd never get a bike bike but also being so tall I need something a little bigger than a 150cc I look so silly on those things LOL

[@martinkies6580]

Go with red, more visible for safety. Plus it looks nicer in my opinion.

[@williamembler8098]

I'm leaning toward grey with the wheeld red trim ... Matches the CB logo very well and if you ever decide to color change grey is much easier to cover then red ... Red 5akes many coats of no bleed through

[@boredom.victim]

grey and red - that way your CB stickers match the color scheme ❤

[@jes2731]

Grey /w Red! It's funny how the differences are between Thailand and the Philippines. Our X-max has the common "Big Engine" option of 150cc, and aftermarket anything for them is pretty much zero, but for double the price you get all the bells and whistles AND double the sized engine.

[@davidhyland5143]

Grey with red wheels looks awesome Just spent 1 month In Thailand seen these and heard these X Max buzzing around everywhere great looking bike and super quick.

[@jacobrev6567]

The Motorbike Shop in Thailand is such cool place visit there actually

[@suhribzevolution645]

คุณควรมาเยี่ยมชมและซื้อมันถ้าคุณจะอาศัยในประเทศไทย

[@VKBKK]

Personally I will buy Forza 350 with auto adjustable wind shield be better for longer ride if u take it outside Pattaya or at higher speed. As to the Max Grey or Red? Grey for sure so CB sticker stands out😊

[@piotrg8593]

Hi, Chad. Great things you do!) Cheers man.

[@wefrazzini]

Grey definitely. Just look at how well it compliments everything, as far as colors go. 😁 But, I think you already picked it. I know there's a shop across from the pattaya hospital on Soi Bukhao with a several sharp looking modified scooters you should check out. Even if only as a "CB OneTake" video. Excellent looking shop, too. Enjoy your journey and be safe. Wayne

[@LifewithSerg]

Chad, give the Honda ADV 350 a look. It’s a much more capable bike all around. I’ve had many Hondas throughout my life, and I think they make the best motorcycles (as far as Japanese brands go).

[@DJBBALLA]

Got your new shirt yesterday. Going to wear it to work. You've been entertaining Me since like April/May of "the situation " So decided pay all the videos with a merch buy!

[@scottm1093]

I bought the forza 350. It's a rocket. Handles great and is comfortable to ride. Got the new roadsync. 👍

[@davidramsy3048]

Grey with red wheels❤ Looks Amazing. I have a 650 Kawasaki .totally customized with two mufflers in pratamnak pattaya and a small 125 fino and a honda 125 wave.😊

[@craigory972]

I vote red and gold, but only because the red wheels looked a little pink? Maybe it's different in person? If so I'd go with the grey one!!! Congrats on the new ride!

[@troyinater]

Grey with the red wheels is my pick, hands down! Happy Scoot'n!

[@retselyarrh3895]

Was reading through the comments and grey with red wheels is definitely the winning choice!!!! I do agree with grey and red wheels.

[@benmorgan8098]

Get the busa!

[@pandoraboucher8880]

Red simply for the fun aspect of then you would have a Red bike a White car and a Blue car, and when you have them together you can Rep both your home countries of Thailand and the US. I also think the Red bike could have the potential to carry on the color coded "Food" names lol. Regardless as long as you enjoy what you pick it's all good 👍

[@adriancollins4747]

Really like the Grey & Red, but the Red one will help keep you alive. Visibility is key on a bike.

[@snowrunner7107]

Grey and red looks sick! Both really nice but the grey is my choice. Good luck!

[@mpanka1]

Hey Chad, I’ve been in the motorcycle world back in the US for almost 30 years, and even for a motorbike, and just to mention not just been in the motorcycle world, certified Harley, Davidson, tech, Yamaha tech, Honda, Suzuki, Polaris, etc. been through them all, and my recommendation would be to go with the Yamaha, HOWEVER, from being a wrench in the trade for so long, body mods are cool, as long as they don’t interfere with the suspension or riding characteristics designed into them. Ultimately, I would stay away from anything that has any more than maybe a pipe and a jet kit installed, any heavy, engine modifications I would, definitely, definitely, I can’t say it enough, definitely stay away from. If you have the mods done yourself, that’s one thing, at least you know exactly what’s been done, how it’s been ridden since stock, and who did the work, but if any heavy engine modifications have been done before you get it, you never know who did the work, the reputation of the tech, the quality of the parts, or how it’s been written albeit good or bad.

[@mpanka1]

Not to mention, try not to let the overall looks of the bike, sway your decision, simply, because you know all of the credible people in Thailand, who can do that work for you, and as a Plus, you get to have them do exactly what you want to the motorbike, not just what someone else thought you might like. Just my two cents for what it’s worth, still, keeping up with all of your “one takes” and full Vids! excellent work!

[@mpanka1]

2021 grey, red wheels, Akrapović pipe, red stitched seat, suspension, and for what these sell for in the states now with gas being CRAZY high, $4k is a great deal!! Besides, it looks from the video that the tires are brand new too…

[@CassetteDeckService]

I will go with grey with gold wheels...

[@williamembler8098]

Hit it 100% mate this man speaking gospel

[@AlexofCharmCity]

This 100 times

[@Alsinsin]

The Honda ADV350 has better suspension for the kind of road we have here but it is difficult to find second hand and the waiting list to get a new one is pretty long. Considering that the ADV, Forza and XMax are new around 200.000thb you may consider a new one. Other than that, the XMax is a very dependable scooter with a lot of storage and enough power to be comfortable on Sukhumvit road. If I had to choose between the 2, I would go for the grey one.

[@CBMedia404]

I've seen a couple ADV350's around,, they are sweet looking! But honestly I'll just ride this around town and if I go further than say 10km or so I'll just drive my Evo

[@Alsinsin]

@CBMedia404 If less than 10km, then I would go for a smaller scooter. I have a Yamaha NMax in Bangkok with upgraded YSS fork cartridges and rear shocks, Brembo front calliper with big rotor. Perfect tool to squeeze through heavy traffic where the XMax would really struggle. Still roomy enough to accommodate my 6'5 and 120kg. I raised the saddle by 50mm and higher handlebars. Very cheap mods but the Brembo caliper. The bike has enough power to get at 100+km/h pretty quickly. Only limitation is when I have a pillion, the suspension tends to bottom out quickly.

[@RichHarmer]

and ADV350 has a 6 month backorder in Thailand for new. :)

[@raymondlowon7799]

I'm planning to buy a new ADV 350 when I move there next year . Hope the back order situation improves

[@cmtravelandcars]

Grey with red wheels!! Your red cb sticker will match the red stripes perfectly 👌

[@Rockspeeda]

gray with red wheels looks really stealth. great looking motorbike.

[@doorway57]

I vote for the gray with red wheels.

[@ryanlott6309]

The grey with red wheels definitely has a more custom look. That's what I would go with.

[@michaelgolding1568]

Go Chad legend love the content keep it up ma boy

[@josephcampbell9239]

Chad!! Which ever one you choose you need to do an EPIC!! CB Media wrap on the motorbike. i personally like the grey with red wheels. Just my two cents..👍

[@paosuuu]

I'm a big fan of Red as well, but for this once the gray one slaps 🔥

[@imaginova88]

I'm not the biggest fan of grey vehicles, but in this case the grey with red wheels looks so much better than the red, which looks a bit factory boring.

[@99dsmer]

Gray with red wheels fir sure Chad. Great to see you having so much fun. Keep the great new content flowing 👌

[@marstondavis]

Red with gold wheels. It not only will stand out when riding but It'll look great when parked.

[@vipulsatam]

Big fan of Red colour, but in this case Gray looks dope. Go with it!

[@UrbanMiningWithGearHead]

Grey with red. However, I personally would get the Honda 350 probably. I don't know what the difference is in price, performance and handling and comfort for the 2. But I've always preferred Honda on the street and Yamaha on the dirt and sand

[@ribbitism]

go for lambo grey. the styling/color coding is slightly different and looks better imho, also grey hides dirt and dust for longer which is kinda crucial for a daily rider. its also a modern colour whereas red does not feel modern. easy choice for me to suggest.

[@waylinnelson]

Grey with red for sure! The CB logo will look amazing with a grey backdrop!

[@stevengoodnight9894]

Red could be seen easier Chad. In traffic I'd rather be seen than blend in with the pavement lol

[@cdestes1914]

Both are killer color ways! If you wanna be SEEN in traffic more prominently, go with the red.. it sticks OUT….

[@BobbyB3rd]

As much as you wear black I would go with the Red For Safety.. but the gray 1 looks the best

[@TrumpetBiz]

The black and red matches the CB media logos perfectly. If you don't want to put them on your new ride, then the grey looks sick.

[@DESSLOK17327]

Red with gold wheels....Baller....Just what you need for crazy Thailand. Any way to slam it down and put spinners on it? Are the aftermarket components knockoffs? Do they crush motorcycles/motorbikes with crazy import duties? Thanks Chad, like the One Takes.

[@nickmaidment]

Get a Honda ADV 350. The best bike by far.

[@mikemartin9175]

They both look awesome but I think the grey would look good with a CB media sticker on it

[@lawrencewilson4291]

Grey with red wheels. Your CB media logo will stand out on that combo!

[@RudeboyMoto]

Dude, stay away from both, a brand new Xmax is only 168k baht, the pipe will be fake and probably the ohlins shocks too, also wouldn't be surprised if the mileage has been wound back, yes it can be done with digital clocks with the right software and quite common in Thailand, also looks like the forks are lowered again common in Thailand with the young racer crowd so will probably handle like shit... I'd be very wary buying any second hand Xmax with these type of mods as usually been owned by young dudes that rag the shit out of them, buy new and do your own mods as needed, just my 2c worth.

[@ShoeboX995]

agree with this completely for the reasons already mentioned. Get that ride new, and maybe do some videos customizing it. The Thais have a huge aftermarket scene for their bikes.

[@ripplesempire]

Cheers bro Legion with LuckyZ here, I like the gray with red wheels. The red rims give it a little bit of bling, but the rest being gray with just a couple little racing stripes makes the bike look classy. Plus, then you can put the CB logo above the racing stripes in red.. your favorite color 😁

[@TIGERSSWITT]

Come on....Gotta be the Grey with Red wheels...outstanding combo....Oh and great 1 take by the way 👍🙏

[@BADQ]

Chad I reckon RED with the GOLD rims all the way, best looking one there.

[@tangerineRIDES13]

Grey one!!! Sweet ride!!😊

[@edwinj.t.p5998]

Epic vlog Chad. Thought the unit with Battleship Gray has sick Jet fighter vibes, it can be customized with alot more themes if thats your end goal, the red unit is crazy sick with those wheels, maybe some V spec mirrors ....✌️

[@Drillerfan]

Definitely Lambo Gray with the Red rims!! That is so sick!!!

[@bradaltemeyer4472]

sat on a used xMax, at one point, but my knees didn't fit (6'8" in shoes), so, I'm on a Kawasaki Versys x300 here around South Texas. Have fun, Thanks for your videos.

[@adrianbosman6351]

The grey with red wheels looks Awesome 👍

[@nobodypanic71]

Grey with the red wheels. Those added red accents are a bonus as well.

[@jamie1453]

I have a 2019 Honda CB650R ..purchased in BKK for 175K... see you in Pattaya 👍 The grey one is dope. Nice bike!

[@jasoncrandall]

I love my BMW C650GT motorbike. I went tried all of them. Nothing beats the Bimmer

[@Tommytorque69]

You got me addicted. Luv the grey with red 🙂

[@FranciscoSantos-zv4ru]

Hello, it's cool to participate in your new bike. My opinion to you... absolutely grey with red wheels 😁

[@toddprice6606]

The gray scooter with the red wheels love it 🛵🛵🛵🛵

[@SNBI1776]

I love gray myself, but when it comes to bikes I prefer white for visibility(white/red pearl xmax). No one is paying attention in their cages, white makes you much more noticable.. Have you though about a supermoto? Too fun!

[@pascaltremblay8314]

The grey one looks great

[@kurgged6554]

Red one is newest model 2023 while grey one is old model. Grey look cool 🔥🔥👍

[@robertgittins5267]

Grey definitely!... very classy!

[@richardlindberg9230]

The grey with the red wheels, definitely!

[@John-pb3ow]

Grey . Looks awesome

[@famousjerry555]

Flat grey with the addition of a large CBmedia logo on each side would look soooooooooooooooo sick.

[@lukeduncan2611]

Mate you know which one to go with!!! Grey all the way!!!👍🤙

[@shawnnicholas6521]

Get the XMax Chad! I'm riding one too... After selling my car i have no regrets owning the XMax. Storage space below the seat is great as well.

[@tomrichards5299]

Grey with red wheels it looks amazing

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Grey with the red wheels and here is why because the red CB media sticker will look perfect on it.

[@michaelc.seeley4850]

X Max is very cool ride. They were up here in the Adirondacks in NY. Met some cool guys who rode up from Long Island at Americade. Enjoy 😎 I would take the red, but both are gnar.

[@23xxspeedyx]

The gray with the red wheel definitely looks better!

[@Rebornmxck]

The red one is the new model, go for it!

[@kevintaylor1928]

Well Chad that's a tough decision with the color combos, they're all nice! I Think the gray with the red stripes and red wheels is the coolest combo. I can't believe they're putting Arkopovic exhausts on those things! LOL

[@luisponce4042]

Both super clean... I really like that Lambo gray

[@randallmason9687]

Busa all the way!! Perfect beginner bike!!

[@donavanclark8343]

Definitely the grey one!!!!

[@johnwayfix-it-or-mod-itgar4828]

Gray and red definitely looks good

[@rollkemessebau3122]

Red one with gold to represent cb media ❤

[@DannyE333]

The Gray 100% ! After seeing it I want one !!!! Good luck

[@iain_nz.]

I like the white and red and grey looks so nice with red wheels.

[@TheSkskitey]

I have to say the RED with GOLD wheels , matches your logo and will be seen more on the road safety wise , Grey is hard to see on the road , in Thailand you need other drivers to see you or they will pull out in front of you :-)

[@icobird]

If the price point is not that high you should get a tmax which has the same color combo with the xmax so you won't be craving for more power in the future however if you want to stick with the xmax gray is the best color for me. Here in the Philippines its a very common color for nmax and tmax.

[@cspruitt3190]

The red is dope! It is CB Media red!

[@keatonlusk3693]

Grey and red looks cool for sure, I do like the gold wheels tho…

[@nkelly226]

The gray with bronze wheels 🔥🔥

[@olafdeboer8451]

The grey matches best with your shirt :-)

[@camedia7291]

Grey with red wheels looks sick!🤙

[@tomhancock5160]

Hey Chad have a look at the Honda ADV 350.I live in Pattaya and the ADV is a awesome bike for not only around town but for long trips as well. Love your vids.

[@PeRcH72]

I have missed this video, cause of holiday. I do know that you have the grey one now and I just wanted to say.....best choice! 😉👍

[@everydaydose7779]

Nardo Grey/Millenium Jade and Gunmetal Grey wheels ❤❤❤❤ Those Ohlins rear shock are expensive af tho 😂

[@RESET1776]

I’d go with the red vs clear coated primer. After all, not like your gonna leave it alone & the new custom carbon parts will pop SO much more with the red 😎
