(2020) Yamaha XMAX 300 Top Speed Run With GPS Speedometer | 4K

  • What's up everyone!
    Here's my 2018 Yamaha XMAX 300, fully stock except for the mirrors. The top speed for my XMAX 300 is 94/95mph on the clock. However, I decided to cross-check this with a speed app on my phone to see if it was accurate.
    The app says the top speed is 89mph. So there's a difference of around 6mph in the measurements. This was me fully tucked and throttle wide open with the road going slightly downhill. Although it felt like the wind was going against me.
    Let me know in the comments if you guys have the same speed or experienced a different result!
    Anyway, this will be my last top speed attempt on this bike unless I decide to change anything with the exhaust or engine components.
    Make sure to ride safe always!

    I wanted the Xmax 300 so bad, but budget kept me at an Smax 155 for now. Outperforms the 150 size class quite decisively, IMO, but damn do I love everything about the Xmax. Next goal, torn between new Smax or used, parallel-twin Tmax or Burgman. Thanks for the great videos.

    • @tapecknows

      Ridin' Montana 4K I think if I were to move on from the XMAX 300, I’d probably get TMAX or the Honda X ADV! I’m not really a fan of the burgman’s looks, reminds me of a Beluga Whale 🐳

      @@tapecknows Haha, funny you mention that because when in Bali, I've seen maybe 3 Burgmans in 4 years. They're too damned fat to to be slicing between lines of cars and the sidewalk, which is a must for SE Asia riding. PCX and Nmax are Indonesia's top touring and sport-touring scoots by sales, and have all the power you need. With there engine size capped by regulation at 250cc, it's a waste of money even to go Forza or Xmax.

    That's awesome bro. Yea looks like it will go over 90 if you had a longer straight away thats flat. Looked like some of the road was slightly up incline. Does the Xmax have the adjustable windshield? I remember one bike not sure if it was Xmax or the Burghman but you can hit a control and move the windscrean up or down? Yea on my helix the windscreen isn't quite high enough and I get wind in my face so I have to diuck a little. I always liked the Xmax. Thx for video I liked and subscribed

    • @tapecknows

    My 2019 XMAX had a top speed of 87 mph on my GPS. The speedometer showed 92 mph. Only tried it once but based on what others have gotten I would say it’s about average. The speedometer on the XMAX reads about 5 mph optimistic.

    I was debating on getting a muscle car, SUV, motorcycle or a scooter, I have to say I’m definitely going with the scooter, I don’t have much money and due to the Pandemic public transportation in New York is horrible, you’re basicly putting yourself at risk of catching the virus, I’m an essential worker so I’m still working, I’m not receiving unemployment checks like everyone else, so I still have to go to work, a Scooter is perfect for me, I was gonna go for the Honda ADV 150 but I think I read that I can’t go on the highway with a 149CC scooter, and that is definitely a necessity for me because the only way to get to my job is to take the highway, there’s no regular streets around it and I’m convinced that the Yamaha XMax is way better, I’m sorry to trouble you but could you give me an idea of how much Insurance is for this Scooter in your area? And do you need a motercycle license? I just have no idea how to start on buying one of these

    • @tapecknows
      @tapecknows  4 роки тому +1

      Oh I see, yeah a scooter is very practical especially during these times. I'm curious about the Honda ADV 150 actually, as I like the looks of that as well. Since you need the larger engine, you can't go wrong with the XMAX 300. I live in London and insurance is around £400 for the year. I'm not sure if that figure will help you in New York. Over here, you need to have a motorcycle licence to ride this, but in the US I'd imagine you need to take the MSF course.
      I hope that helps man, and stay safe 🙏🏽

    Here to ask a stupid question. What’s the real difference between a motorcycle and this scooter? Are scooters just a throttle and that’s it?
