- The new 2018 Xmax 300 is a nice little city scooter.
With 28hp, it is just enough power for city and a few longer rides.

I just came here to say thanks for your detailed review. This is one of the reasons I bought XMAX 300 2019 just over a month ago. Really nice machine. It could have had a few things designed better, but overall it's a great all-round bike. Excellent for the city and good enough for longer trips out of the city. They could have added USB next to the 12V connector in the glove compartment for example. And those wind deflectors for your hands are no good really. I have ridden mine in temperature around 0°C and that was not fun even though I had winter gloves with goretex. The main issue I had with it were the headlights. In the factory they set them way too low so the beam was on the road maybe 20m ahead of me maximum. Go any faster than 50 on a dark road out of town and you can get in trouble. Adjusting it was not mentioned in the manual and is super inconvenient without some tool designed for it or partial disassembly of the front of the motorcycle. Other than that I am pretty happy with it. It also incredibly efficient. In town (a lot of steep hills in my area) I get consumption around 3.6-3.8L/100km. Out of town if I am riding calm (no highway around here) I can get it down to 2.3L/100km (speed around 70km/h).
Hi did your get your head lights adjusted else i know how...mine was way to high and everybody flash their lights at me haha...but I love that X max 300..great ride to me and i got a bad back and discusprolaps..I can only recommend buying it if looking for a maxi scooter
You can add heated grips ,as an aftermarket item.
Hello to one of the best European motorcycle chanel! I'm from Romania. Today I had the pleasure to have a ride test with the new, 2019 model of XMAX 300. I must tell you that I used for the last 7 years a Honda CBF500A (and when i was younger, I had a Yamaha Why). At the end of 2018, I started to have in mind some changes regarding my every day commuter. This changes was foccused on a new Yamaha Xmax 300 scooter, but until this days, I had no good weather to check it. After riding today this bike, I have to tell you that I can confirm this chanel oppinion: the Xmax 300 is gorgeous! I am 1.83 m, 102 kg. I rideed it with 150 km/h on the highway-it's maximum speed that it could reach. It's behavior is super and save, even on this limits. In the city is perfect, very handling and confortable. I wanted to check it also on bridges to test his agility and motor power behavior. It doesn't disappointed me at all. I accelerated also at the middle of a bridge and it has just react like a 600 cc motorbike. After my 2 hours of crazy driveing 50% on highway and rest in the city, the fuel consumption was just 4.1 l/100 km (the same like this chanel host). I'm recomanding the Xmax 300 also for highways! It's a perfect commuter and it brings a lot of fun to the rider! I salut you and keep doing good movie materials. Drive save guys!
Ps: if you need something more agile and fun, choose this instead of Forza300
Cager, your joy is contagious. I'm always happy to hear your voice... the great review is just icing on the cake...
Just bought this bike and i love it!
how much does it cost you
@@briyad3738 unfortunately scooters cost quite a lot for the horsepower they offer.
@@infinitydreamzz its not about that bro
Hi Carger, what should you choose: x max 300, x max 400 or honda integra 700? Just for some city runs with my bags en weekend touring.. greetings from The Netherlands! Ps i love Sintra!!!
@@elise10lies84 300 always
Excellent review. I have this scooter for a year now and I agree with every point you made about performance. It's practical scooter for every day use. A lot of storage space (2 full face helmets and +), low fuel consumption... 3 l/100km is my average. You can reach 350 - 400 km with one fuel tank (13 l). Thanks for the review.
Martin Raven Hi Martin, what's the top speed?
Some say it will go 160. My top speed was around 150 km/h.
I'm planning to get this Scoot , people it develops instability on high speed? How true is it? I'll will do 45 to 70 regularly?
@@CKPHH Probably a little late but it is very stable at high speeds
Ah, finally the Xmax 300! I always waiting this review from you, buddy. As always, the content is really superb and informative.. Thanks a lot bud!
Best motorcycle channel. Love this guy!
Cannot wait to get this one 300.
I'm short 4k dollars. Lol
Sold! Thanks, ordering tomorrow
Lovely litte bike, very fun, reliable, practical and fuel efficient. I wish it had 16/15 sized wheels rather than 15/14 but other than that it's nearly perfect.
I use an X-Max 400 for shopping, in winter and when I have business to do in the city and sometimes for short spins in my neck of the woods. It‘s fun to ride, has some storage but for trips, faster rides and having fun, no question I prefer the Tracer.
Hey, do you know if there is any size different between the xmax 300 and the xmax 400?
Nice bike and always enjoy your reviews
It really seemed like you had fun and enjoyed this XMax. Give in to the fun😎
Your handle bars wobbling at high speed is probably because you flat spotted your front wheel, been riding Xmax 300 for year and a half, no wobble.🛵
I got one of these a year ago with the "comfort seat" which changed the whole seating position of the bike
then within a week i crashed and broke both arms. not joking. great bike though, got it repaired and ride it every day in south korea now.
whoa~ @Rasputin Varez that's a terrible story! I guess you got the arms repaired as well glad to hear you're back on two wheels!
Goo
d luck and all the best
Fantastic review - thanks very much. Beautiful country by the way.
The windscreen is adjustable between two positions, low and high. It’s a pain to change and you need tools. Yamaha have three screens, small sports, medium default, and high touring. I know it’s not ideal for touring but I have toured loads on mine and it’s been very good!
Great video. I hope you get a chance to review the new Honda PCX 150.
Great vid. Love scooters.
Great country side and great review .
Cager...Nobody does it better!! I just got a Suzuki Burgman 400 and I'm enjoying it. Would love to see you review it!!
Rich Vogel How much? Is that U.S?
Hi cager ! I saw your video at the morning. Pictures of the ambulance in which you landed. When did this happen? I made the same experience after an accident with an 2stroke kawa. 40 years ago. Please come very soon. You are the best and I wish the best for you !!!
Great review brah! Beautiful scenery as well. What country are you at?
I see a video by Cagerontwowheels and I click like ;) loved the Xmax 125 I used to have
Hi Cager! Where is that beautiful place where you overtake the spacestar? I wold like to go there with my bike. Thx.
Can you do a review of the XMAX 400 or Suzuki Burgman 400. Thank You.
Thank you Cager! I was waiting for this one... 😁
Where was it filmed?
You are my favourite bike reviewer Cager and because of your Honda Fortza 125cc review, I bought one two years ago. I'd like to upgrade now to a scooter with a bigger engine capacity. I'm looking at either this Yamaha or the new 2018 Honda Fortza 300cc Scooter. I look forward to your review on the new Fortza.
Hi John! Have you made your mind? I am having the same decision to make between those two scotters. Can you give me some advice?
I've driven them both recently on a test ride. The X-Max 300 was more fun to ride than the Forza. A bit more power.. but that could've been due to the Akrapovic exhaust and the sporty windscreen they put on the X-Max. Although I'm a Honda fan for years I'm going to get myself an X-Max 300.
Oh, great! Now, I want one.
Thank You! This is the largest scooter in the US made by Yamaha.
Cager, please review the Piaggio Beverly 350 Sport Touring!
Hi nice review but where are you riding? It's a beautiful area.
The twin r3ar shocks is a function of the engine being directly linked to the swing arm. Theres no room for a single damper and spring in tne traditional layout
Great review
The windscreen is adjustable, there are two positions. The stock position and the upper position that goes up 5 cm higher.
would you consider riding a maxi-scooter to the Netherlands? I'm going to get a burgman 400 soon and I'm planning to ride it between Denmark and England. my budget won't stretch to the 650, which I know would be perfect. Muito obrigado, Pa 👍
Awesome video.. Todah
Increase rear shock preload to help with the center stand scraping. Very few scooters to choose from in US market, this is probably the best one for the price other than the more expensive Vespa 300 GTS. I may buy one.
Hello cager can you please do a review for keeway cityblade 125
Can you please tell me about the under-seat space, full-face helmet will fit under there?
its a beautiful city , may I ask where about is it ?
Great video brother i feel like iam the one touring your place keep it up!more videos pls.🤕
Best honest review I’ve ever seen you didn’t seem to know where most things were on the scooter 🛵 so you definitely hadn’t been couched into say things the about the bike
Mitsubishi space star, just like Skoda Rapid Space back has ho space in the back. :) You're an ace, Cager.
You are riding a New Bike, that is Not broken in yet. After a 1000-2000 miles the bike should be broken in, engine and brakes both will function better after break in is complete.
How does the acceleration to compare to the Tmax? I'm debating between the two. Thank you
Please do a review of the 2018 Honda Forza 300. Thank You.

Olá Cager! Obrigado pelos excelentes testes. Experimentei a XMax 300 e confirmo que é super divertida. Porém, a transmissão das scooters aborrece-me. Vais a passear tranquilamente na marginal a 40 km/h a ver o mar e ela vai a 4000 RPM à espera que aceleres. Estou a pensar experimentar a Honda Integra "Smooter", que testaste em tempos, pelo facto de ter caixa. Eu sei que são propostas diferentes, mas tens algum comentário comparativo que possas dar? Perde-se muito em termos de manobrabilidade e equilíbrio no meio do transito? Obrigado!
Please...what city is that? I love it!
thank you nice scoota lovely country.
I am 190cm and 100kg. Do you advice me tracer 700 or xmax 300?
Nice review. Sir what is your height? 😊
What city is that ? It looks very nice
Hi, do you know how it will look yamaha xmax for 2021 year ? Thanks 😊
I know you dont like retro bikes much, but please try Kawasaki Z900RS when possible. I value your opinion a lot. Also as a scooter guy for commute great to see you did this review!
Nice review
How is it for a passenger?
How would this compare to Forza 300?
is it good enough to ride in texas?
Lol i have NC700X in red color too ... and i am here watching Xmax review 😅😅 i dont know of its a good idea to change from NC700X to Xmax .. any recommendation cager?
What is a confortable highway speed? Can it go 70mph cruising? And what kind of gas mi league at the cruising speed?
It easily does 70 mph cruising ,as my 250 cc XMax does .Gas milage is around 80 mpg.
The color is silver or grey matte ?
Hello im between xmax 300and cb500x what you orefer i want to go everyday 70 km on highway woth 120 km per hour. And i want for weakend trips like 300 km distance on highway and on backroads.with cb i feel some vibrations on that soeed and i dont know if i fell uncomfortable on a hour ride
Could you test drive bmw scooters please? If there is any chance to get them for tea test...
What is this city?
Can I ask how tall are you?
Anyone know why a ping sound occurs when abs light goes out?
So, Kymco Downtown 350 costs 1300€ less and Piaggio Beverly 350 costs 1100€ and both of them are faster than the Yamaha X-Max 300. And you can't say that the materials Kymco and Piaggio used on these scooters are not premium,they are very well built.
Real speed?
is this suitable for a beginner who wants long distance riding? more like 400 km maximum
Ariana Zburlea it is, buy this ride carefully so you don’t have to start out with lower cc and spend money buy a big one.
i keep watching your videos on the Xmax and Smax, i can't decide which one to get for myself, how well does the xmax ride in the city? what about the smax on the open road?
I bought the XMax 300 two weeks ago. I am VERY happy with it. Top speed is 89 mph. I should have gotten it earlier! I am very impressed with the "quickness" it has. It is lite and very responsive!
@@irishdowling2643 I got an Xmax last week, it's amazing!
You must of had wrong air pressure or flat spot on front tire , I have driven a Xmax 300 for a year now and never have had wobbling at high speeds.
Where are you in the world It look like a nice place.
I copied this statement from Yamaha's official site under features but can't find a video about the adjustable handlebars. With plenty of lockable onboard storage, a 12V power port to recharge small devices and (an adjustable handlebar and windscreen). Does anyone know anything about the possible tilt-telescopic handlebars?
Hi.
I searched that as well but there is no videos about the handle bar adjustment.
Love to know which is best for highway between yamaha xmax 400 and burgman 400....help!!
Me too
You may want to compare the xmax vs the adv 350
Beautiful scooter 😍 I'm saving little by little just to buy it. Also beautiful landscape what country is that? Nice review by the way
Portugal
I’ve fallen in love with this scooter but I can’t decide which is best the 300 or the 400, what are your thoughts? Likewise have you tried the kymco xciting 400 and what you think I’d that scooter?
300
The 400 is a lot heavier but only has 5hp more. So there probably is very little difference in acceleration but at slow speeds it is harder to handle.
On top it consumes about a litre more fuel than the 300
Yamaha doesn't make the Yamaha XMax 400 anymore on witch really makes me feel very upset with Yamaha and when they discontinued the Yamaha TMax in Canada I really got very upset with Yamaha because I can't get them anymore but I still have plans on buying myself a Yamaha XMax 300 TechMax and also hopefully modifying the hell out of that bike when my warranty is completely exspride because I found some really nice Mallossy Parts for the XMax 300 online last night and wow can you definitely turn the thing into a very fast bike on witch is definitely going to be my plan when I buy it right here in Canada
The Honda Forza looks better. I've bought two scooters on the strength of Cager's reviews. In Scotland it's difficult to find a scooter to test ride.
I am trying to decide on a bike, i am looking at a 1-2 year old xmax 300 or a 10 year old tmax 500. any suggestions
tmax is high maintenance
please test ride Kymco Xciting 300i and you will change your mind about Kymco. it's a very durable scooter and fun.
i have one Xtown 300i, yes, performs better than the xmax, but only have ABS on front,
The new CityCom is a fun ride with those 16" wheels. You sacrifice the ABS/traction control rider aids though.
Gettn ready to buy on for my daughter
I would bet that a Upgrade to DR pulley slider weights to a Lighter weight slider would provide better acceleration and better fuel economy to, for this bike. I like Light weight Bikes Much better than heavy bikes. I am finished with heavy bikes. I will get one of these and start selling my bigger heavy bikes, I reallylike the Lighter bike much better they seem more fun to ride for me. I am also liking the Honda cb300r naked bike. those two bikes will both be in my garage soon!!! That wobble through the handle bars may be the tires following the road, a different set of tires may Not do that, I wonder if Pirelli makes Diablo tires for both front and rear for the Xmax300? I Love the diablo tires on every bike I have had, and I have had a LOT of Bikes 1800cc 1000cc bikes, but im done with those kind of bikes.
" I can't afford to crash these bikes you guys." Rides with no hands at 21:00 xD keep up the great reviews!
Man, riding with no hand is stupidly easy with a motorized 2-wheeler. If you're going faster than 25-30 kph, the gyroscopic force generated by the rotation of the wheels keeps the bike stable. I have never been able to ride with no hand on a bicycle, but at my very first training hour on a motorbike, I was already doing it...
"inverted forks" ?????
Let's explore the xmax together.
Cager need an honest opinion,what would you pick, this one or the Honda Forza 300?
@@CagerOnTwoWheels Thank you :)
23:20 142 kph? good enough for me
I would very much like to have this scooter... I really need a new scooter badly.. =(
Is the rider seat backrest adjustable, like the Burgman ?
Doesn't come with a backrest
@@jocarpenetti3667 thank you
Make a night ride and tell how good are the front lights, especially long light, crap.
This is one of the reviews that made me want this scooter. I was going to get the Smax but a private seller was asking 4100 US for a 2018 Xmax with only 1800 miles on it! It's my first 2 wheeler and it is a great commuter. Hmn... I wish the US had the 400cc though. Thanks for the excellent, informative video!
Don’t wish for the 400. There’s no difference because the engine is older and the bike much heavier, so there’s little difference in real performance.
Honda and Yamaha are reliable af
Hi Cager when you get a chance try the Ducati Multistrada 950 its a superb bike so much so I've just purchased one ps keep up the good work on the reviews😉
@28:42 "Can't do that.." ? ..Can't do what?
Faço like pelo sotaque tuga
MT-07 2018!
I'm 164cm. Will you recommend me to ride this bike?
Its a little tall. I am 168cm
What town are you in and which country. Looks like a beautiful place
