    Great video. I recall a magazine called Motorcyclist that I used to read about 40 years ago. I don't know if they still publish it as I lost touch after I stopped riding my motorcycle. They used to feature test rides traveling through beautiful parts of the world on different motorcycle models. This video reminded me of the stories that used to appear on Motorcyclist. I should say that I am returning to riding and the XMAX and TMAX are two scooters I am considering.

    Nice review. I also have an 2018 xmax 300. The only thing I dislike about the xmax 300 is the fuel capacity. i think it can only take about 2.5 gallons of fuel and at full tank has only a range of about 100 miles on highway.

    • @BenalRida
      @BenalRida  4 роки тому +1

    The Xmax looks great in matte black. A better buy than a T-Max ... heaps cheaper, and more storage under the seat. I rode one today ... but unfortunately my 6'3" height put me right in the blast of the airstream above the windshield. And the legroom wasn't ideal for my long legs. If someone is 5'8" they would probably fit much better. Overall, a nice machine!

    What is your opinion of the power between the Forsa 300 and the XMAX 300 ? You mentioned that you found the former not powerful enough to climb the mountain. What is your finding on the XMAX on the same route ?

    • @BenalRida
      @BenalRida  3 роки тому

      The XMAX300 was more powerful than the Honda Forza 300, but I think this has changed shlightly this year, since we have the new Honda Forza 350 now (ua-cam.com/video/Jm8cbvpi234/v-deo.html). I think it has the same power as the XMAX now. Have to add, I haven't tested any 2021 XMAX models yet. Thanks for watching!

  • @MrDoncarnage
    @MrDoncarnage 4 роки тому +2

    As a car driver I am only entitled to drive 125. Im eyeballing Xmax 125 Techmax 2020 and Forza. Which one you think is better, more reliable, more dynamic side by side? Cant find any Xmax Techmax125 reviews so far. Zmax should have full bike front fork and Forza only scooter half fork. Is it that different in bad road?

    • @BenalRida
      @BenalRida  4 роки тому +1

      Hi, I don't really know what "Techmax" is, but personally I would prefer in the 125 class the Honda Forza over the XMAX. I think the XMAX 125 is too heavy and therefore the Forza is a little more agile. Have you checked out my test ride of the XMAX 125? I know it's not very good, but maybe you good some insights? ua-cam.com/video/s90wibeiGl8/v-deo.html

    • @MrDoncarnage
      @MrDoncarnage 4 роки тому

      BenalRida yeah your review of Forza 125 is very good. Techmax is Xmax offered as exclusive model with leather trim and seems to have full bike-like fork. But I was always more biased towards Honda. I wonder if new model comes soon and what will it bring. Selfturning blinkers would be nice

      HI, and thanks. Well, that's a difficult decision then, but for me the 125 (watch my video about the XMAX125) really had not enough power, especially since it is a fairly heavy maxi scooter. I guess I would always prefer the XMAX300.

    I have never had a bike or a scooter but I think I might get one of these I've been looking at the xmax and the Bergman between the two it looks like this one has a better fit and finish and not to mention its cheaper
    Two things the Bergman has over this from what I can tell is the windscreen on that one blocks out more wind and the power difference
    I'm not big on power and I know that 300cc would be more than enough for me as a new rider what would be a better option for me
    Obviously I'm leaning toward the moto in this video since I'm watching this review

    • @BenalRida
      @BenalRida  4 роки тому +1

      Hi, thanks for your comment. Well, when it comes to me ... I have the Honda CB500X, and tested the Honda Forza 300 and the Yamaha XMAX300 (and the Kymco S400 just recently ...). If you are looking for something practical, then these scooters should be your first choice and the power (at least from the XMAX300) is more than enough for me as an A2 beginner. If I had money now and I was looking for a scooter to buy I would definitely choose the XMAX300 over the Forza 300. I think it's a bit more powerful and has loads of storage space.
