THESE ARE THE TOP 10 BEST MAXI SCOOTERS FOR 2024!

[@SouthWest-jj8yu]

I have been biking for over forty years and until last year had never even sat on a scooter let alone ridden one. I still have several bikes and enjoy them all but last year purchased a BMW C400GT and love it. It gets out more than any other bike I have to do all sorts from day trips with my wife on the back to running to the shops. It’s much more capable than you would expect, sits easily at motorway speeds two up with more to come from the engine if you needed it. It’s also extremely comfortable rider and pillion, with good handling and easy manoeuvrability and I get more waves from bikers than I do on my GS.

[@timothyrobson3325]

It is very good, the best in the 350 field. Do you think worth the extra cost new compared to the ADV350 which has more useful under seat storage? Depends on what you need.

[@SouthWest-jj8yu]

@@timothyrobson3325 I’m not sure I’ve never tried the Honda. When I got my C400 there just weren’t any adv 350’s available, the price difference wasn’t that much as I got a used model with only 395 miles for £5600. For the little extra there’s heated grips and seat, twin discs at the front with steel hoses and radial mounted brakes. As to storage I have fitted a top box, not the BMW one that was just too expensive for what I needed, for a little over £100 got the SHAD adjustable box that looks good suits the bike and is easily lifted off as only use it occasionally, my pillion prefers the security of the box being there.

[@timothyrobson3325]

⁠@@SouthWest-jj8yuI agree with you 100%. The c400 GT can be a bargain second hand. I got a similar deal. It is a better scooter than the ADV except the Honda has a lot of space under the seat.

WAIT 2-3 YEARS WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGIN .EVERY YEAR A SERIOUS DAMAGE.NOT MENTIONING THE VERY EXPENSIVE SPARE PARTS AND SERVICES.OWNER OF A C400X SINCE AUGUST 2019

[@KalJoao]

Im looking btw the Burgman, XMAX and the BMW since we have limited choices in the USA. But also coming from a GS I love my Beemers. Only hesitation is the small storage on board. How does the top case treat you in the wind? I never use one on my GS because it was so noticible but would want one for commuting to work. Cheers!

[@wspollack]

I've owned two Burgman 650 Execs for a total of 11 years, and now a '23 C 400 GT for half a year (and a '22 C 400 GT for a year before that, which BMW swapped out for me, the result of a major engine malfunction). And, interspersed over the years, an R 850 R, a Valkyrie Interstate, a Victory Cross Country Tour, and my current backup bike, a Royal Enfield Meteor 350. I've also ridden the C 400 X on three Edelweiss tours now: Tuscany, Vienna, and, by special dispensation, the Ultimate Alps. The main draw, for me, for the C 400 GT is its absolutely SUPERB handling. I think it has more lean angle than any of those other bikes (measured by my GoPro Hero11 as at least 43° left and 41° right). It's a twisty maven. And I also like the looks of the GT. And the brakes are very good. And the engine has a good amount of pep, smoothness, and top speed (86 mph as spec'ed in the owner's manual, but 89 on level ground, per my GPS). The bodywork construction of the GT is much better than on the 650 Burgman (and, from what I've read, that goes for the 400 Burgman, as well). BMW uses gobs of same-size Torx screws and expanding metal spring clips. Suzuki relies on tiny and thin plastic tabs and plastic pop-rivets, and the odd bolt. Definite quality on the Beemer. And also a very important consideration for me is that the pillion accommodations are spot on for my wife. This encompassed the seat width and padding, the foot and leg positioning, and the flat pad on the optional BMW topcase. This was all wrong on the Execs, and forced me to go to a local upholsterer to remedy some of the shortcomings on the first one I owned. The underseat full-face-helment-holding Flexcase is a wash. Nice to have for a lunch stop, but non-existent when riding, should you want to use it for storing something other than a helmet. The lack of windscreen height adjustability is also kind of a wash. I almost never used the electric windscreen motors on the Execs, i.e., just left them -- aftermarket Clearviews -- in place. There are reasonable aftermarket sources for different windscreens for the GT, in addition to two BMW variants. The shocks on the GT are nothing to brag about. Certainly better than on the Meteor (but that bike has tons of elemental back-road charm!). BMW falls short here in many respects, though. Biggest fail, IMO, is the lack of cruise control. We have a lot of wide-open spaces on this side of the pond, often needing to be traversed to get to the good stuff. I think it's a borderline sin to have a bike with THROTTLE-BY-WIRE and umpteen sensors and switches, and a nice TFT display, to NOT have cruise control. And it's not as if BMW doesn't know how to do the programming; almost all their other bikes have this. And they call this a Grand Tourer? Second biggest fail is the sideways placement of the Schrader valves, in the "spoke" area. This precludes adding an external TPMS sensor to the front wheel, because it would smack into a brake caliper (and I actually have one FOBO sensor on the rear wheel -- the other sensor gathers dust on a shelf). BMW should either have TPMS as a factory option -- again, something they do for most of their other bikes -- or they should put the Schrader valves in the center of the rims, like everyone else does. Also, the underseat storage area is kind of wonky. There's not a large area, but instead it's compartmentalized into a bunch of smaller ones. And the TFT is not properly utilized, IMO. The engine RPMs can be viewed only on one screen that has very little other data, and so not viewed on the main screen that has all the other data. And it's very drab, compared to the colorful nature of, well, other Beemers and most every other bike that has a TFT screen. I might have purchased the AK 550 if I could have found a dealer here with one in stock, within, say, 500 miles. No luck there. I understand from a few fellow ex-Burgman riders that it's a very good bike. But I won't order a bike that I can't at least sit on, and preferably with my wife out back, too. And, years back, when Yamaha was selling the T-Max over here, I actually test-rode one at a rally (Americade). I liked it, very sporty, but I had a Burgman at the time, I think; in any case, I didn't need a second bike then. And wouldn't you know it, but as Yammy kept improving that scoot, they also stopped selling it in North America. So, FWIW, I would've put the AK 550 and the T-Max ahead of the C 400 GT. Much as I (mostly) love the GT and its handling, I keep reading good things about the Kymco and the Yammy, too. And they have factory cruise (something I added -- MC Cruise -- to my first Burgman, and something that the Victory bagger had stock), maybe handling nearly as good, razzle-dazzle use of the TFT, good underseat storage, and Schrader valves in the right place. Of course, that's for some open-space riding. If I lived in an urban jungle, I might opt for a Vespa 300, as they're nimble and eye-catching, at least to me. And speaking of urban bikes, I've never ridden the CE-04: they may be fast off the line, but I did sit on one in a showroom and thought a sheet of 3/4" plywood might be more comfortable on my tush. Argh, they're all good, as long as you're enjoying yourself. You wanted comments, well, those are mine.

Yamaha Tricity 300. After long history of riding different scooters, and few motorcycles ( last kawasaki ER-5), I have bought new Yamaha Tricity 300. I have it for a year now.. It's such a great machine...Comfortable, very sure footed(tons of grip), easy on the gas( 3l/100km around town)... under seat storage is massive! Two full-size helmets and more space left for a jacket. This is such a plus for going for a shopping.. Enough power for longer journeys..also you get lockable suspension of the three wheels which makes parking and moving in a garage easy..Also standing on the traffic lights without the need to put your legs down..ABS, traction control all standard. Digital display.. I simply love it and enjoy riding it..

It's difficult nowadays to determine what is a scooter and what is a "proper" motorcycle. It used to be easy, a scooter was a machine where you could mount it simply by sliding your leg through the gap between the seat and the front forks. Handy if you are wearing a skirt. A motorcycle on the other hand, meant you had to throw your leg over the seat. It seems this is no longer the case.

No tech but just £1,750 cash. Don't have to sell any of my motorcycles to purchase this. Maxi scooters seem to have become so expensive with all the tech.

[@drdoolittle5724]

The Honda Forza 750 and X-ADV 750 also do something none of the others can, accept a multitude of luggage and lighting options making the machines totally adaptable! The true scooters mentioned are one trick ponies with maybe a larger rear box! SO, yes it maybe time to ask peoples opinions, 'What qualifies as a maxi scooter?'

[@nemanjatosovic]

Side luggage and rear top box cases can be fitted to pretty much all of these. So can lights.

[@dIsAstErTR]

Anything above 400cc with automatic transmission and under-seat storage is a maxi-scooter in my book.

[@kevinmanaloto306]

Maxiscooter is a big scooter with a CVT. Might as well add the NC750 with DCT as a maxiscooter as well if you continue that argument. Do we also call the KYMCO KRV 180 a motorcycle now because it uses also a chain? Admit or not the DCT is on a league of it's own.

[@dIsAstErTR]

@@kevinmanaloto306 Exceptions.

[@drdoolittle5724]

@@kevinmanaloto306 it is awkward territory this 'what is it?' game, TMAX is definitely a grown-up scooter cos of its looks but the Forza 750 is a motorcycle in drag, if one is allowed to say such a thing!!!

[@c.e.m7535]

Why is the Yamaha TMAX not sold in the USA?

[@ronaldwarner3406]

I still miss having the Suzuki Burgman AN650 . In my mind the best of the super scooters.

[@liverush24]

Is the Beverley a maxi scooter?

[@kevinmanaloto306]

I would disagree too but since it's a 300cc it would put a fight within the Maxiscooter range

[@renwick_ro67267]

​@@kevinmanaloto306It's 400 c.c. and although a maxi scooter per its specs and performance, it's about the only one that doesn't look like a big plastic Skidoo.

[@maman8588]

The XMax would be a great contender for this lineup

[@mrpauly01]

I bought a new BMW C400GT as I wanted something manoeuvrable, no clutch/gears, good MPG / KPL for nipping to the shops or heading out on the twistier roads for some fun, however a 350cc single cylinder engine lacks the power for distance on highways/motorways. I'm looking at trading in my 6 month old machine for a more powerful engine to put the smile back on my face. The SYM looks like it could be the answer but the limited dealership numbers concern me.....

[@koendestercke]

Good decision. Wait till you pay for the first 20000km maintenance you would have wished you sold it earlier. And then I am not speaking about the times I had to visit the dealer to replace parts under warranty. Worst scooter I have ever owned.

[@sergiolacueva9443]

Voge sr4max

[@desmcd1515]

Biggest issue with BMW C400 is the flexicase. It has to be up while riding which greatly reduces storage. Also made in China which is not ideal. For me, Piaggio Bev 400 is spot on. Great handling, excellent power to weight ratio and well priced.

[@kevinmanaloto306]

The Loncin SR4 which the BMW CT400 Is based from has a fixed underseat storage different on how BMW had theirs made.

[@gochillessmith4137]

It’s made in Taiwan at kymco factory but to BMW specs. It’s fine.

[@CanijAsa]

XMax 300 is better option for a bit higher price. More room for sitting and two person, more storage, more legs position,better comfort overall

[@nunorebolo]

Not a chance I will not buy a electric bike

[@seekter-kafa]

what about Xciting VS 400 by Kymco (34hp ~200kg) sure thing AK550 is beast but it is also 50% more expensive

[@kevinirle2931]

We don't get any of the Hondas that you mentioned in Australia. Shame I liked them all!

[@workhousecoffee]

How come the Forza doesn't get a mention even in saying why left it off list

[@brianc8840]

I think yamaha tmax tech max might be No. 1

[@scottastell9415]

Like to see what you define a Maxi Scooter as because I'd delete more than half of those on your list as the motor is less than an actual 400cc. Only three on your video I'd personally call Maxis: The Kymco AK550 Premium, The Yamaha T Max 560 and the Honda 750 ADV. All the rest are town scooters and would not tour with the likes of a touring Motorcycle like a Triumph Tiger 850. I personally own a AK 550 Premium and think it is great, blue and way better value for money than the ugly Yamaha shark face T Max.

[@eduardorebelo]

Burgman 650 ❤

[@volt8684]

Has an xmax250 and loved it but the weight of these are horrific

[@Atrip111]

Still waiting on Benelli making a bigger one and bringing to Usa. Be interesting to see how many other people here have a Zafferano like me. Probably not many.

[@artstar5994]

Awesome! I can finally afford a BMW! All jokes aside, GREAT job guys. Great looking affordable scooter!

[@sppthe]

What about the Chinese scooters zondes 350E and others

[@FENOOMENO]

Best of all spidermax 500 rs 1100 Euro second hand

[@reju309]

Yamaha Tmax 1

[@lenluksa326]

I always considered the step through design to be an undisputable characteristic of a maxi-scooter. That line is becoming blurrier and blurrier.

[@renwick_ro67267]

Yup, apart from the Vespa GTS 300 and the Piaggio BV/Beverly 400, they all look like big plastic Skidoos.

[@BobbyNeri-f9i]

Japanese scooter, l love it .. x adv 750 or else adv 350... quality & durability..no question,,price good..

[@Chijousaikyo]

The Best: X-ADV 750 The Best of all time: Aprilia SRV 850

[@davefliege3706]

I‘m about 6‘3 ft - 1.9m. Whats the scooter to go not looking like a man on a child’s bike?

[@scottaspect55]

Tomos Atx. Check it.

[@1entershift1]

I am 6'6" 230lbs. If the people who review scooters will measure the distance from the handlebars to the footboard everyone should be able to measure the top of their knee to the bottom of their foot and will be able to know if they will fit. The top of my knee to the bottom of my foot with boots on is 26 inches with about 3 inches to spare. I own and fully enjoy my 2022 Kymco AK 550. I've raced and beat hellcats on city streets with short distance advantages.

[@renwick_ro67267]

I'm 6 foot tall, 240 lbs and the Beverly 400 S is a good fit for me.

[@vortexrevs3277]

Zontes 350?

Electric? Hell no.
