I don't understand why the storage can't be bigger, it is much bigger on the xmax 300; also why no automatic windscreen and cruise control?

so i test drive it and decided to get it. it’s the exact same model as this one. there’s a difference between the xmax and this. the BMW is obviously more refined and has a much smoother ride, the tft is very nice but the xmax has a nice dash cluster too. i haven’t been beyond the break in period yet but the motor does seem smoother and the exhaust is much nicer. its an expensive bike but overall the quality is exceptional. the headlights are incredibly bright at night, the xmax actually had pretty poor headlights and wasn’t nearly comparable in terms of night riding visibility. the leg room is also a huge selling point, very relaxed riding position. i agree about cost of ownership but maintenance can mostly be done by the owner if they have some knowledge, experience and tools. i believe a gs911 obd is in the works for this model. it’s a high end machine that has very smooth road manners.

I want to buy one of these things so darn badly right now people

I own one since a year and use it for commuting. Cost of ownership is extremely high at least here in Europe, My last 20000km maintenance cost was 1100€! Other than that fun to drive but nog worth the price.

update: 2 months into owning the 2022 it’s already in the shop for repairs… a warranty is meaningless when parts and quality are nonexistent. i’m hopeful that yours “if you own one” hasn’t started leaking oil. look underneath the CVT and see if there’s oil collecting, if so, there’s a build / quality issue. these are very very expensive and too have it usable for only a few weeks seems pretty poor. BMW BMW has seriously let me personally down and i currently regret the bike. the hondas and yamahas never presented issues like this. today while still in the shop waiting for parts i’m going to return the bike for what i’m used…. something that is japanese, it may not have the BMW badge, but what does that mean when it’s a 10,000 paper weight.

Yamaha XMAX for 4000 dollars less is the way to go

Great review. I'm 6ft4, and BMW scooters are the only scooters I ride.

German engineered, baby!

350 but call it a 400? That's misleading for 9k

It's made in China, BMW in badge only.

For a kymco engine,is very expensive!!!

Instead of explaining about the vehicle, simply she rides. 🙄

Scooters are just top heavy, and there’s no low center of gravity. And the wheels are way, way too small if you couldn’t avoid a big and or deep pot hole; it will destroy you and the bike.
