      IVE been on both the 2023 Xmax 300 is better has room under seat for 2 full size helmets.. not tiny like this .. also Xmax rides better feels easier to zip around curves ....Xmax has 75 mpg going 70 mph ....Xmax is way better for what I paid $6299 out the door !!!!

Xmax is perfect you can see all around in back of you .........there's no doubt about it Xmax is way way way better ....that's why I bought 2023 Xmax that goes 87 mph all day long !!!!!

    I owned a Vespa 250cc & a Vespa 300cc scooter 3-5 years ago. They were top of the line scooters. I really couldn't adjust to feeling as safe on them as opposed to a regular motorcycle @ higher speeds. I also currently own a Yamaha Veno 125cc scooter in which I do like since I only ride it here around in the country. Mostly I only go up to around 40mph. So that scooter I feel o.k. on. I do have other motorcycle's for higher speeds in which I feel fine. So for me, I much prefer the position of a regular motorcycle. But everyone has their own cup of tea. Thank's for your effort in producing these wonderful videos. Have a beautiful day my Slovenian friend!! Illinois, USA

    • @RRRRefuelRideRace
      @RRRRefuelRideRace  Рік тому +1

      I also prefer a standard motorcycle over a scooter. Somehow some scooters are better made and perform better. From my experience having bigger wheels contributes to a better feel and also it sure makes the machine more stable and safer in my opinion. This one was a nice one. I also rode and filmed the GTS300 Vespa from Piaggio. You can check it and I am sure you are gonna like it, I mean... the video. :) Joke. Thanks a lot Larry. :) You can already see what it is gonna be my next video. Cheers

    Nice video I have a question, how would you rank it compared to Himalayan 450 or CF Moto 450 (if you driven it) in terms of comfort and speed maybe you remember?
    I owna a vespa 250 thinking of upgrading since the small weals are not comfortable at all.
    This obviously is better for town and stuff but those two bikes offer possibilities of going off road so I am in big dilema.

    • @RRRRefuelRideRace
      @RRRRefuelRideRace  23 дні тому +1

      Nice question bro. I can compare it to Himalayan 450. Although they are very similar in terms of power the Himaylan seems to have a bit more punch and also a bit higher top speed. Regarding the comfort I really cannot compare, both were OK I would say. The wind protection was better on the Beverly, but the Himalayan was more fun to ride. Did you check my CFmoto test ride video? :) Thanks for the comment bro. Appreciate it.

I wanted to buy this scooter and went to test it, as I saw in multiple review videos how loud it is and how much noise comes from the transmission. My concerns were confirmed in the first two minutes of riding it so I turned back to dealership after less than two kilometers of riding. That was a shame because, even if the combination of tall front wheel and that 35 HP engine looked interesting, its annoying noise killed any ”attraction”.
