Commuted on honda 50/70/90/125 for 40 yrs got soaked and cold. Bought an xmax250 10 yrs ago. No chain, easy belt change at 12 k weather protection, dry legs and feet. Not good on fuel but even 250 out accelerate normal cars. Fantastic vehicles. Don’t replace a proper bike imo. Rode mine to southern Spain and back twice. Cruising 65-70. Biggest thing for me was no chain maintenance and no need for piling on protective clothing. Maintenance is easy too. Only bug bear is rear tyre change. Fair bit of work. Ok if can do self. I didn’t pay a lot for mine but think they are very expensive now. Also very stealable. Even second hand pricey. Some of the lesser known brands have rear monoshock suspension now, better that crude twin springs which is a bit crashy. I found that it was my go to transport nip to shops park on pavement. Very seductive once you’ve had one.

I had a Burgman 400 a few years ago. Apart from the heavy weight pushing it around parking spots and the over-firm suspension it was a brilliant scooter. No-one could ever complain it was sluggish. Just before they were withdrawn from the UK I traded down for a Burgman 200 which is a lot lighter and still will do motorway speeds with ease. I did a 3000 mile tour of Spain and Portugal on it and only needed a small strap on bag behind me as its boot was also enormous. I loved the analogue, very clear gauges. BTW the 200 averaged 95 miles to the gallon. I never felt I needed any more power. Thanks for the review.

The best part of Maxi scoots is long distance touring. The room, space, weather protection and comfort are awesome. Also no chain to adjust. The best part of the Burgman are the killer twin front discs and excellent ABS. Compared to the braking on any of the bikes I've had, the Burgman rules. For the quickest reaction in an emergency; you can't beat handbrakes. My 500F is for day rides in the twisties. Fun yes but it doesn't have the same room or comfort for long travel.

Nice review. I have motorbikes and scooter and love both. The Forza 350 Maxi scooter I have is 20kg down on the Burgman with similar power, more space, is £1k cheaper and has a brilliant electric screen! Perfect for commuting or trips to the shops. 82mpg too. Great fun in environments where motorbikes are a pain. The motorbikes are fun in areas Scooters aren't, so great to have both in the garage!

Great video that and the real world overtakes very useful. When i lived in mallorca i had a kymco 125 maxi and it did everything we needed and two up shopping etc. ended up moving back to the uk and shipped it back, rode it from ramsgate to suffolk from the delivery company and parked it up. Never got to get it on road in uk and sadly scrapped it which was a shame. Did my full bike licence snd only then i found out i needed a cbt for it 😂 only been riding it in spain for three years on a uk car licence 🤦🏼♂ now got a 850 GSA And a 2023 street triple rs but feeling the want for the forza 350 for round town. Ironically the advanced police motorcyclist i bought my gsa off had bought the forza 350 for the London commute. Keep up the great work. You and Andy are my two go toos for real world.

I had an '07 Burgman 400. It was wonderful machine. Powerful and heavy enough to ride on the Hi-way, yet still returned approximately 70 mpg (US gal). the space under the seat could accommodate a case of beer. I got rid of it over concerns of riding while I was the sole breadwinner of a young family. With my kids all grown now, I got back into riding a few years ago. I would love to buy another. My biggest hurdle is that I need to get rid of one of my other bikes to make room in the shed for it. Thanks for the video!

Your video puts their attributes across very well and perhaps it'll help the nay-sayers to overcome their preconceptions of cool. They've been missing out for a long time now. Keep up the good work Lamb Chops... ride more scooters... try the Piaggio Beverly 400S if you can. I'd be really interested to see what you make of that uncool sounding bike. I think you'll be smitten. 👍

I have been biking for over forty years and had never even sat on a scooter until last year. I’ve got a few bikes but fancied a scooter so bought a BMW C400GT. It’s fantastic for getting around bit more expensive than some but very well spec’d. It has a 350cc engine does about 90-95mph with 70-80mpg sits 70 or above on the motorway 2 up. Small wheels but 120 front 150 rear mean pretty decent handling. ABS traction, twin bybre radial mounted brakes braided hoses. Can’t beat it for just nipping around or getting out and about.

He absolutely loved it and swore by it, I sadly never rode it as wasn't really interested at the time, probably due to the same said stigma that you mentioned! 😅 Certainly looks like it goes better than I thought it would or gave it credit for!

After nearly forty years of riding, I put my butt on a smaller scoot a couple of years ago for the first time and I was sold. I've got a Honda Forza300 now and I ride this more than I ever rode any of my other bikes. Yeah, I get a bit of ribbing...but none of them ride their bikes nearly as much as me. My truck barely moves during the riding months, which has been extended due to the scoot.

I really like the Adv350, the looks of that really do it for me and would be perfect for the sort of roads that I ride and what i'd need from it. Id also be keeping my bigger bikes though.

The traction control might seem like a joke to bikers used to big power, but it is actually a good thing with a torquey single cylinder motor and a 13" rear wheel. In the wet without it the rear wheel can spin up if you give a decent handful of revs. I've got an earlier model (2012) which I've had for about 3 years now, and have had the rear wheel spin up and step out on wet roundabouts when I've been a bit careless with my throttle hand. Great video. You had fun!

I agree with one caveat. Insurance should be calculated seperately for scooters to other two wheelers. They are many times more likely to be used for commuting which between the roads and where they get left is a massive increase in risk.

If you are this excited about the burgman then you’d go nuts over the T Max.

I should!
@spangoz1000 7 ай бұрын
T max will top out at 115mph , yes 115 mph on a scoot .

And the Forza 750 is an even better ride, albeit missing heated seat and electric windscreen. Can't go wrong with either tho!

If you like that try a T Max 560 . I have had them for 20 years or so from the first 500 to the current 560 . Goes well with a GSA . Great bikes though stolen too often

I have been frightening my kids for ages saying I would love a big fat scooter with a top box. mainly for those short local trips to get beer or something for dinner, twist and go, easy peasy

I used to hate scooters until I rode one. I had been in Chiang Rai a while before I got round to riding. It was a Honda Wave 125i. I'd always fancied one as they are iconic. It was awful. I couldn't wait for the week's rental to end. When it did, I rented a Yamaha Aerox 155 scooter. I was blown away by the acceleration, although the suspension was rubbish. At the end of the week's rental, I bought one. Over three years later, it's my day-to-day transport, although I have two motorcycles, as well. The Burgman is good. Don't like the styling. They should stick the engine in an adventure styled one with good, long-travel suspension, and they'd dominate the market. Nick

You should try an off-road scooter like the Yamaha TTX Adventure, Honda do one also the Honda X-ADV.... Be fun!

Looked a laugh Chopsy 😁😁. Good wee practical mode of transport for commuting 👍 Think you need to get out on the KTM and slow yourself down a bit 😮😁😁😁👍

My first two wheeler when I was still a bit undecided about going to bikes was a £600 Honda Pantheon 125 scooter. Ran it for 4 years, alongside a Chinese geared 125 after the first year. Still get a hankering for a Piaggio three wheeler or even the newish Kymco 530 trike, I do have these weird thoughts at times so who knows? Never grow up and become an old geezer is my philosophy.

Looking at this Chopsy. I am dreading the day (fast approaching), that I have to buy with the bias more to my head, rather than my heart 😉😳😳😁

Talking about overpowered bikes, I’m considering trading up my mint GSXR K7 for a 2017 GSXR1000. A bit more power and comes with the factory quickshifter/blipper. You have a K8 and rode the 2017 model with all the upgraded toys: is the upgrade worth it? Is it as comfortable as the K7? I’m not a track day boy, just love whizzing around the twistiest in the Surrey hills with the odd pit stop for a coffee and bacon sandwich. My K7 is all black but can’t find a 2017 in the same colours (all seem to have coloured wheels) so may have to go for the Triton blue Moto GP look. A bit bright for my taste but it is the classic GSXR colour..

Tmax is the best bike I've ever owned. I traded a 1290 SAS for it. So I like my big, fast bikes and all. But as a daily rider, the Tmax is utterly sublime. Scooters a great, Maxiscooters are bad ass. :)
@johnmartin7158 6 ай бұрын
I wish I could afford the TMax. What an awesome scoot. Mines an XMax.
@SSS-mp8th 7 ай бұрын
Not many offered in the US, but the Burgman and Xmax are good choices. We mostly don't get the maxi-scooters that Europe does.
@1966johnnywayne 6 ай бұрын
Same thing here in Canada. I had to buy used 2016 Forza300 last year...the last year that Honda brought them in. Everybody offers 50cc, but not much in the Maxi's. Fortunately the old gal didn't ride the scoot...only 390kms (240 miles) on it.

I really can't see the point of a rev counter on a scooter (to be frank, they're not much use on a bike/car) given that its got auto gearing. A nice, big analogue clock, the type that keeps the time, would be more beneficial.
