Had a C400X for a week now and I’m really impressed. I bought it in Albury and rode it down to Melbourne on a very wet day, it’s very stable at speeds of around 115 km/h and lots of grunt to get away from lights quickly. I can also carry a pillion with ease. There’s a lack of accessories at the moment as the scooter is newly released. As I’ve often said, these should be a lot more popular in Australia than they are. A 150 bhp+ sports bike is wasted on our roads.
Such a cool little scooter and as you say, plenty of power for open roads and super convenient in the city and suburbs. Good to hear about the pilliopn, we didn't get a chance to go two-up on it and see. Jeff.
@@goru426 I left the Yamaha xmax 300 for the c400GT. Yamaha is built with Chinese components just like the BMW. I don't see your point. Yes you pay for the badge but with a 5 year warranty and service plan that not an issue.
@@mickfitz76 Hopefully everything runs well with the BMW c400GT and you ride it for many years. My experience is with the C600/650GT. Those scooters developed multiple issues in the first 2-3 years of ownership and many owners were not happy.
@@goru426 All brands have their issues. My xmax went through two starter motors in 3 years. I had to carry a screwdriver to tap the starter motor whilst holding down the start button. It was such a common issue that you waited 3 months for parts due to stock shortage.
Not sure about 2 up, but I'm 100kgs and rode down from Albury on mine when I first bought it. They're really stable at 115+ and have enough grunt to accelerate from 110 to 130 to overtake.
@@Flaminuggboot Hi Ed, what are the rear shocks like? I'm 100kg/195cm too and need something that won't bottom out (pun intended) over the typical bumps we find on our city roads. Thanks

Sir, did you ever do a full review on these? I searched but was unable to find.
Nice review, just bought one of these. Surprised that they’re not more popular in Australia’s cities. Beats sitting in a traffic jam.
Thanks - yeah they are a great scooter.
Question: is there anything better about the 400GT versus the 400X other than Looks? Thanks and great review.
Do like these scoots, considering buying one for my daily commute of a round trip of 70 miles, but worried I would miss my motorcycle??
Confused: so lower screen x is less buffeting than higher grade?? 🙄
No more traffic Jam, Thanks BMW
this C400x or the Yamaha Xmax 300? 2020 versions...
Yamaha will run forever and will be cheap to maintain. BMW falls apart after 3 years. The choice is yours.

Upside down forks??
Thanks - God knows why that came out of my mouth! I'll edit it out. Cheers.
How would these hold up with two up highway riding?

Pete Afele Hi Pete, they’re fine, I have it on the 2nd stiffest setting, the suspension hasn’t bottomed out yet
I was interested till you said that is made in China.
then don't buy it. and build it yourself.
Drag race was funny like a swarm of 🐝 bees
Think im going to buy a 400x...but yer shame it contributes to chinese economy...
then build it yourself, shame on you.
