    As I mentioned to you 11 months back, I had just ordered a xmax300 for January this years delivery. To present due to covid I have only done 5000 kms, my planned and looked forward to ride down to Almeria, had to be cancelled. The scooter has to present been faultless. The extra cost of the xmax 400 includes a front twin disc setup plus a handle bar mounted operated hand brake, which I would find useful on the 300. Some things to bear in mind if going for a new scooter,will Yamaha in the near future introduce a new 350 version to compete with the new Honda 350 Forsa. The Akrapovic exhaust to my mind is not worth the 750 euro cost, though it is lighter than the standard one. I also tried a sports screen on mine, but reverted back to the standard screen. The only cripe I have is I do not like the keyless ignition system, though that's not a fault with the bike,just my preference. I would recommend the xmax300 to everyone, just bear in mind a new 350 could be on the horizon.

      Hi, thanks for the status update. I also saw that new Honda Forza 350 is on the horizon. Maybe another alternative for me. I am not fixed at the XMAX300. Open for anything :)

    I’m just part exchanging my xmax 400 (2013) model to the xmax 300. Picking it up next week so super excited. I wonder if I miss any extra power at all but I doubt it as the 300 is 30 kg less in weight and only 5HP less. I will find out soon. Nice review btw, well done !

    My new 2021 DNA Black Yamaha X Max 300 scooter has now done 500km.
    It’s winter 🥶 in Australia 🇦🇺 and I’m loving it 😍.
    Upgraded the seat, foot plates, rear seat rest, sports windscreen plus Akrapovic.
    We don’t have the Tech Pack here so mine is close to.
    Like riding a 🐴 horse!!!!
    Thanks for your reviews they helped me choose 💪❤️🥇🇦🇺🤩✅😎⚽️🥅

      Hey mate can I ask a couple of thinks because I leave in Australia NSW and they don't have anything in stores to manage test it!
      I am 1.85 do you think is going to be OK for my hight?
      It is easy to travel with a second person (wife) and it is comfortable for a 200-250 km travels?
      Where did you get your peripherals?
      And if you have anything that you don't like?
      Thanks !

I have the forza 300 changed my helmet from an x-lite 703 to a x-lite 903 and yeah same size in both but the new 903 is a struggle to fit under the seat... strange... the helmet only fits at the veru bottom not the too end

    • @BenalRida
      @BenalRida  4 роки тому

      Hi, thanks. Legroom is about the same. The seat from the Forza seems more approachable and not so "in the way" if you know what I mean. Watch my video about the Honda Forza 125 (2020): ua-cam.com/video/laKppmoZqdc/v-deo.html I might mention some stuff in that video which you may find useful, although it has the smaller engine. When it comes to the underseat storage I think the Honda is a little bit bigger. My helmet fit in there but not in the XMAX.
