Motorbike purchased! Stay tuned for an update 😎

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

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 👍

[@2lives1left]

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

[@halfsquaredoubleinverse4014]

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.

[@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!

[@boredom.victim]

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

[@martinkies6580]

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

[@BBalla1979]

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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@everydaydose7779]

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

[@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.

[@Rockspeeda]

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

[@jacobrev6567]

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

[@suhribzevolution645]

คุณควรมาเยี่ยมชมและซื้อมันถ้าคุณจะอาศัยในประเทศไทย

[@willburn1741]

Red/Black with Gold wheels. Very Ducati monster ish!

[@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

[@troyinater]

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

[@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

[@keatonlusk3693]

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

[@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.😊

[@josephcampbell007]

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..👍

[@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😊

[@Dougdogg2004]

Gray with red wheels but not the one with the orange ohlins coilovers. The one furthest to the right in front of the red one.

[@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!

[@scottm1093]

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

[@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

[@retselyarrh3895]

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

[@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 👍

[@piotrg8593]

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

[@ryanlott6309]

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

[@marstondavis]

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

[@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

[@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 😁

[@vipulsatam]

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

[@FranciscoSantos-zv4ru]

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

[@paosuuu]

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

[@jeremydiamond8824]

Grey with the red wheels foo shoo

[@benmorgan8098]

Get the busa!

[@snowrunner7107]

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

[@cdestes1914]

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

[@cmtravelandcars]

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

[@stevengoodnight9894]

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

[@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 :-)

[@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.

[@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.

[@doorway57]

I vote for the gray with red wheels.

[@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.

[@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).

[@TIGERSSWITT]

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

[@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.

[@simonfrmgb]

The forza 350 is a good bike.get the top box with it too,and it'll take you anywhere in thailand

[@nickmondo222]

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

[@adriancollins4747]

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

[@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.

[@Kevin-7four7]

Grey bike with the red wheels. Ask if you can swap the wheels to bronze. Would look sick. 👍

[@99dsmer]

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

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

I would definitely go with the Lambo gray but see a lot like the red.

[@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.

[@craigerickson6308]

Stock might be a better choice. You can customize it to your liking or it may be less likely to get it ripped off if it's stock?

[@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!

[@waylinnelson]

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

[@adyp6296]

lambo grey 300.....awesome! great video my friend

[@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! 😉👍

[@jamie1453]

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

[@michaelgolding1568]

Go Chad legend love the content keep it up ma boy

[@shawnyPrezActive]

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.

[@thelittlesignpost]

Yeah, most comments are for the Grey with red wheels, either of them would be great, assuming the price is around 163,000! New price is just short of 200,000 baht, so it's fair value at 4,000km! Go for it!

[@kurgged6554]

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

[@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.

[@mikemartin9175]

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

[@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.

[@corrieprestridge1321]

Gray all the way

[@toddprice6606]

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

[@lenbell1365]

I’d go with a Honda 350 Forza grey with black wheels, maybe with a few red accents and your CB media logo in red. The Yamaha X Max is cool too, around town there’s nothing to choose between them however if your gonna do short trips out Jomtien and Pattaya the 350 Forza has a little bit more torque and comfort to make the difference. Just my take bro both are excellent bikes. Happy trails.

[@BobbyB3rd]

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

[@lawrencewilson4291]

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

[@kevintaylor31]

Personally if have the Busa, but that’s because I’ve had one before. Although god knows what that’d be like on Thailand’s roads! Go for the pearl white and red wheels though Chad. That’s the best combo imo.

[@tangerineRIDES13]

Grey one!!! Sweet ride!!😊

[@jasoncrandall]

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

[@nobodypanic71]

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

[@adrianbosman6351]

The grey with red wheels looks Awesome 👍

[@longbeachcomedy4481]

GREY all day bro' Plus there are tons of additional upgrades that you can still do to that ride

[@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

[@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 ....✌️

[@benjaminblakemore9704]

FOR $8000.... BUY THE BUSA!!! WHY WOULDN'T YOU BRO THAT IS RIDICULOUS BARGAN!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BADQ]

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

[@esce69]

I'd go for a Honda Forza. Either way, go for grey. I've got a grey Forza, even with a grey seat (actually 2-tone grey-black). Doesn't get as hot as black, especially where you live.

[@lukeduncan2611]

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

[@richardlindberg9230]

The grey with the red wheels, definitely!

[@darrenstango9376]

hey dude dont feel bad for not knowing all the makes and models of motorbikes, we learn as we go and your learning now

[@michaelgilby3528]

Be aware latest X Max has LED lights, poor lighting early ones.

[@alonsocastillomena6097]

Chad, they are completely different models, i will choose the Grey w/ Red wheels.

[@markmod5538]

I have been riding in Thailand now for over a year north and south don’t get nothing less that a 350 and look into the Honda adv or the xadv 750 if you need more power

[@Drillerfan]

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

[@hishamaziz3282]

Normally, I would go with red, but in this particular case.. I think the grey one looks much more gangster.

[@soobturbo2006]

i saw a v-max on soi diamond pattaya in february. crazy bike for thailand

[@FazermanD]

Chad, it's got to be the grey with red wheels, definitely looks the coolest. You're right, in the UK they are scooters, not motorcycles! Loving the CB 1 Take videos.
