- Today on episode 5 Vlog we will be talking the Xmax 300 on a ride on the highway to see if it’s really highway worthy. Maybe a new top speed!!
Great video m8. I have just passed the initial 600 mile run in on my new 2024 Xmax 300 Techmax and it is a fantastic bike. I have owned and put thousands of miles on a couple of Burgamn 400s in the past and this bike is more responsive, more agile, noticeably quicker and if you are not pushing it a lot more economical - I am getting 94mpg (UK) out of mine across 800 miles compared to the Burgmans which averaged about 66mpg (UK). Given the speed limit on our equivalent motorways in the UK is 70mph this bike really does do it all. The only thing it loses out to the Burgman on is leg room. All the best from Wales
Thanks for the great feedback on the Yamaha Xmax thanks for watching
The shorter wheelbase of the Yamaha is better than the Burg legroom
I beat you on my 1st fillup with mine, 2.86L/100 km (98.8 MPG UK) for 351 km and the Low Fuel light wasn't even On yet. I put only 10.03 liters in the 13 liter tank. I could definitely go near 400 km on a tank. I'm still smooth on the bike and breaking it gently on 2 lane roads but we have hills in my area and went up to 100-110 km/hr several times. I'm in Quebec, Canada and we have only the standard XMAX model in Canada.
@@richarddevaottien7724 Sorry for the delay in replying, didn't see the notification. Yes I agree, you know what it's like we just want it all 🙂 I also love how much lean angle the Xmax gives you. On corners where I regularly used to grind the centre stand on the Burgervan the Yamaha just seems to laugh and tell you to try harder!!
@@jeantheriault7783 That's crazy good. I reckon you might see it top 100mpg once it is run in. Mine has now done nearly 1300 miles and is sitting at 95.1mpg and that includes a fair bit of 70mph motorway travel in the mix. Stay safe and keep the rubber side downwards
Ive done a pcx 150 on the highway for short stints. Its a little sketch, but hit 65.
Xmax looks a bit better for sure
Ride Safe✌️
Most definitely my friend and thank you
Awesome! I've seen all I need to see... Thank You!
That’s awesome! I’ve always been curious if they were highway capable, good to know!
Thanks for bringing us along. Great video. Really enjoy the scoots and smaller displacement bike vids.
Thanks for watching
Definitely kept up on the highway.👍 stay safe out there
It definitely is highway worthy
I have the 2022 Kymco X-Town 300i ABS which is a direct competitor to that and to me it seems like a lot of wind is hitting your legs and your legs are a bit splayed apart into the wind.
I have the same thing. Even the year. Lol
@@RobertHarrington-d8z 😎
Your kymco is better stay away from Xmax its very bad and not safe
Another great video I agree x max can do interstate speeds yes but here in the midwest the winds road conditions and semi can make it very unsettling for interstate travel prefer my heavy st 1300 feels much more planted but for normal highway travel no problem x max can handle 60 to 65 all day long I'm sure could go across the country no problem on backroads and highways.I call my x max my 90s bike can do 90 mph and if driven 55 to 60 will get 90 plus mpg that bike still amazes me never expected to get that kind of gas miles great video again keep them coming.
Thanks for the great comment
Another great review scooterman. Looks like speed sustainability isnt an issue. In my area if I get one there's highways all over the place. Did you take the round mirrors off?
@@wayside70 yes I did take round mirror off. They were very nice but the visibility was better on the stock mirrors.
Important question.. is this scooter able to go faster then 20mph in Massachusetts? Is it considered a motorcycle? Can it go on highways in that state?
Yes this scooter runs good in the 80s on the highways. As long as you have a tag and insurance you can ride it anywhere
@@slowridersmotovlog201 so if the state says to only go 20mph with it, how would I be able to go on the highway with it? Massachusetts says it does not count motorized scooters as motor vehicles
@@IcedFastDragon I think there talking about 50cc scooters
@@slowridersmotovlog201are you sure? I don’t understand the states laws if you could correct me on it sense you have one lol. Would Massachusetts allow this scooter on roads? Lmk
@@IcedFastDragon yes definitely
If you have a vespa how along trip with the vespa
Does it have cruise control ?
No it doesn’t
How is the vibration at 80?
There was none very smooth
I need to downsize. I have been considering the X-Max and the Suzuki Burgman 400. You answered a critical question I had. Thanks and subscribed.
Glad this video helped you out
New to this. Could this bike be driven 100 miles one way on the highway?
Yes most definitely
@@slowridersmotovlog201 Thanks for the response.
Thanks Dan... the Xmax is a very capable smaller bore machine. It's so capable that it warrants a cruise control accessory option for longer hauls.
I see you hit 90 again. It's definitely the lower 70 temps that allows that.
One thing you forgot to mention is the stability on the highway at those speeds. No scrambling on tar snakes or wobble at all.
Very impressive ride, suspension, and balance for this size scooter. You just can't beat it for the price...
Gord
Yes it was very stable and on wobbly I felt very comfortable
Scooter Bil. Here. Yes it will do exactly what you say. Have ridden mine to. Arizona and back. Cruises easily at. 75mph.l
The first 600 miles for break in, I could get 45 MPH. The next 400 miles I could get 52 MPH, after a 1000 miles it's wide open.
Sounds about right!!
Super video man keep up the good work ! Sending love from Cyprus ! Where did you get your gloves from? Any name of the website or the name of the gloves will be much appreciated!

I figured it would be a little faster. I've got my xtown 300 up to 90 and no more. It's the most comfortable about 65. Anything over it vibrates quite a bit and just isn't as smooth riding
They the Xmax was very smooth throughout the whole ride. I felt very comfortable and safe
@@slowridersmotovlog201 to be clear it was the motor at higher rpm's. It was still very stable and safe feeling or I would have backed off
What year is yours?
2022
I had it. It doesn't have enough weight for 100+km/h speeds
It weighs the same as a MT-07 and other bigger bikes and more than most 500cc motorcycles, i also have one and it does just fine at higher speeds.
Great review. Good highway speed.
Thanks! 👍
Seems like a fun scooter honestly
It definitely is
According to utube rules...lol..you now going to have to do a GPS verified run to silence the utube arm chair analyst lol😅
But seriously running at 70 and having enough steam to still pass someone is not bad at all!!
Also on another note, I think I might nominate Dan's channel as one of top moto vlog channel that end up seeing trains pass by unexpectedly, I swear I have seen more trains in your videos than just about all the other motorcycle vlog channel I watch combined!!
I’m sure there will be skeptics for sure. Thanks for the kind words always. Shoot me an email sometime I would like to make you my UA-cam channel comment monitor.
Will do that as soon as I get a few moments!!
👍😃🇵🇭
