VLOG Episode #5 Yamaha Xmax 300 Is It Really Highway Worthy? Let’s See!! Maybe A New Top Speed??

[@SimpleAsBDCs]

Great video keep up the good work I recently got a 125 Zuma I have been enjoying it more of an inside the city Scooter would definitely enjoy the Xmax for sure with its extra power…

Impressive my brother! I have a Honda 350 Scooter that I bought last year that my wife and zoom around on when we are in Portugal. Absolutely love it. That Xmax looks super stable at high speed, just wonder about its comfort cause usually it’s me and my wife cruising. We mostly just do easy cruising nothing like the speeds you’re doing. As long as a bike like that can easily do 60 or 70 with 2 adults that’s more than enough for me! I’m looking to buy one for Florida and get rid of my truck and have some simple, easy and cost effective transportation. We will be spending part of the year in Portugal and part of the year in Florida so we can be close to our grandchildren. As a bonus we have a Yamaha dealer about 4 miles away, the Honda dealer like 70 miles away! I like to keep my money local whenever I can! Thanks for the review! 5 stars!

Awesome! I've seen all I need to see... Thank You!

Great video m8. I have just passed the initial 600 mile run in on my new 2024 Xmax 300 Techmax and it is a fantastic bike. I have owned and put thousands of miles on a couple of Burgamn 400s in the past and this bike is more responsive, more agile, noticeably quicker and if you are not pushing it a lot more economical - I am getting 94mpg (UK) out of mine across 800 miles compared to the Burgmans which averaged about 66mpg (UK). Given the speed limit on our equivalent motorways in the UK is 70mph this bike really does do it all. The only thing it loses out to the Burgman on is leg room. All the best from Wales

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Thanks for the great feedback on the Yamaha Xmax thanks for watching

[@richarddevaottien7724]

The shorter wheelbase of the Yamaha is better than the Burg legroom

[@jeantheriault7783]

I beat you on my 1st fillup with mine, 2.86L/100 km (98.8 MPG UK) for 351 km and the Low Fuel light wasn't even On yet. I put only 10.03 liters in the 13 liter tank. I could definitely go near 400 km on a tank. I'm still smooth on the bike and breaking it gently on 2 lane roads but we have hills in my area and went up to 100-110 km/hr several times. I'm in Quebec, Canada and we have only the standard XMAX model in Canada.

[@philk9227]

@@richarddevaottien7724 Sorry for the delay in replying, didn't see the notification. Yes I agree, you know what it's like we just want it all 🙂 I also love how much lean angle the Xmax gives you. On corners where I regularly used to grind the centre stand on the Burgervan the Yamaha just seems to laugh and tell you to try harder!!

[@philk9227]

@@jeantheriault7783 That's crazy good. I reckon you might see it top 100mpg once it is run in. Mine has now done nearly 1300 miles and is sitting at 95.1mpg and that includes a fair bit of 70mph motorway travel in the mix. Stay safe and keep the rubber side downwards

[@davidn1562]

Great video, thinking on getting one in spring 2025

[@retirementainteasy]

Me too.

[@robertrussell3264]

Price of Bergman is too high. Nice to know that I have another option. It should meet my needs and the price is right.

[@BritonAD]

What kind of MPG are you getting? PCX160 seems to be at 90MPG but smaller motor.

[@wolvesdengaming9358]

Think it's 76 mpg

[@stephentiong4410]

Awesome video! I’m 45 and thinking of getting my motorcycle license this year. I’m in Pa. Been thinking about getting a scooter and came up on your video. Great content! Do you think it’s good for a beginner to get a scooter for a first bike?

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Most definitely

[@motobc2251]

Thanks for bringing us along. Great video. Really enjoy the scoots and smaller displacement bike vids.

I have the 2022 Kymco X-Town 300i ABS which is a direct competitor to that and to me it seems like a lot of wind is hitting your legs and your legs are a bit splayed apart into the wind.

[@RobertHarrington-d8z]

I have the same thing. Even the year. Lol

[@ariesmarsexpress]

[@mariageorgopoulougeorgopou5688]

Your kymco is better stay away from Xmax its very bad and not safe

[@Scuba-D]

Ive done a pcx 150 on the highway for short stints. Its a little sketch, but hit 65. Xmax looks a bit better for sure Ride Safe✌️

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Most definitely my friend and thank you

[@MobileDominat0r]

Important question.. is this scooter able to go faster then 20mph in Massachusetts? Is it considered a motorcycle? Can it go on highways in that state?

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Yes this scooter runs good in the 80s on the highways. As long as you have a tag and insurance you can ride it anywhere

[@MobileDominat0r]

@@slowridersmotovlog201 so if the state says to only go 20mph with it, how would I be able to go on the highway with it? Massachusetts says it does not count motorized scooters as motor vehicles

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

@@MobileDominat0r I think there talking about 50cc scooters

[@MobileDominat0r]

⁠@@slowridersmotovlog201are you sure? I don’t understand the states laws if you could correct me on it sense you have one lol. Would Massachusetts allow this scooter on roads? Lmk

How is the vibration at 80?

Does it have cruise control ?

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

No it doesn’t

New to this. Could this bike be driven 100 miles one way on the highway?

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Yes most definitely

[@MrMoneyHelper]

Why would you think otherwise? What do you think would happen to it?

[@InsainBrane]

That’s awesome! I’ve always been curious if they were highway capable, good to know!

If you have a vespa how along trip with the vespa

What year is yours?

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

2022

[@njt4253]

Good review got everything I was looking for in it !! However all that gear isn't going to make a difference if you get hit by a car. I'd rather be comfortable and enjoy the ride.

[@cottagegymfun]

Or just take the bus

[@volksbeetle88]

Definitely kept up on the highway.👍 stay safe out there

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

It definitely is highway worthy

Another great video I agree x max can do interstate speeds yes but here in the midwest the winds road conditions and semi can make it very unsettling for interstate travel prefer my heavy st 1300 feels much more planted but for normal highway travel no problem x max can handle 60 to 65 all day long I'm sure could go across the country no problem on backroads and highways.I call my x max my 90s bike can do 90 mph and if driven 55 to 60 will get 90 plus mpg that bike still amazes me never expected to get that kind of gas miles great video again keep them coming.

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Thanks for the great comment

[@Liquidskys88]

Another great review scooterman. Looks like speed sustainability isnt an issue. In my area if I get one there's highways all over the place. Did you take the round mirrors off?

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

@@Liquidskys88 yes I did take round mirror off. They were very nice but the visibility was better on the stock mirrors.

[@avarria587]

I kind of wish I had gotten this instead of the Honda NC750X DCT. This has more storage, a lower seat height, is over 100 pounds lighter, gets better MPG, and has more storage. I guess we all live and learn. I thought the NC750X would make highway commuting more fun than on my z400. It did not. This seems better than the Burgman 400, too.

[@RobertHarrington-d8z]

I figured it would be a little faster. I've got my xtown 300 up to 90 and no more. It's the most comfortable about 65. Anything over it vibrates quite a bit and just isn't as smooth riding

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

They the Xmax was very smooth throughout the whole ride. I felt very comfortable and safe

[@RobertHarrington-d8z]

@@slowridersmotovlog201 to be clear it was the motor at higher rpm's. It was still very stable and safe feeling or I would have backed off

[@JohnnyBg2905]

I had it. It doesn't have enough weight for 100+km/h speeds

[@thecrow3461]

It weighs the same as a MT-07 and other bigger bikes and more than most 500cc motorcycles, i also have one and it does just fine at higher speeds.

[@Liquidskys88]

Great review. Good highway speed.

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Thanks! 👍

[@gorrdd]

Thanks Dan... the Xmax is a very capable smaller bore machine. It's so capable that it warrants a cruise control accessory option for longer hauls. I see you hit 90 again. It's definitely the lower 70 temps that allows that. One thing you forgot to mention is the stability on the highway at those speeds. No scrambling on tar snakes or wobble at all. Very impressive ride, suspension, and balance for this size scooter. You just can't beat it for the price... Gord

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Yes it was very stable and on wobbly I felt very comfortable

[@Billy-c3m]

Scooter Bil. Here. Yes it will do exactly what you say. Have ridden mine to. Arizona and back. Cruises easily at. 75mph.l

[@brunothepug8807]

I need to downsize. I have been considering the X-Max and the Suzuki Burgman 400. You answered a critical question I had. Thanks and subscribed.

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Glad this video helped you out

[@wolfhands2508]

Seems like a fun scooter honestly

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

It definitely is

[@JR-cf3wh]

The first 600 miles for break in, I could get 45 MPH. The next 400 miles I could get 52 MPH, after a 1000 miles it's wide open.

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

Sounds about right!!

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

According to utube rules...lol..you now going to have to do a GPS verified run to silence the utube arm chair analyst lol😅 But seriously running at 70 and having enough steam to still pass someone is not bad at all!! Also on another note, I think I might nominate Dan's channel as one of top moto vlog channel that end up seeing trains pass by unexpectedly, I swear I have seen more trains in your videos than just about all the other motorcycle vlog channel I watch combined!!

[@slowridersmotovlog201]

I’m sure there will be skeptics for sure. Thanks for the kind words always. Shoot me an email sometime I would like to make you my KZbin channel comment monitor.

[@AntoninoSavio-p9l]

To be honest these mopeds the t-max and the X-max are both expensive , of course the t-max is more expensive ? They both they look nice !? But the top speed it’s not worth the money spent , to make it go more faster someone has to modify those bikes to make it go somewhat little more faster, again it’s not worth the money spent , I know they are mopeds , but are also somewhat expensive not worth wasting money, rather be getting the Yamaha MT09 , which it’s worth the price, x-max it’s not a good cup of tea.
