Great constructive review - i would opt for adv350 at a lesser price 3500 less much lighter to handle Thanks Mark if i was questioning the honda or this as a choice im surely going for a adv350 after following your review and your recent trips ;) Nice day mate

Honestly I have one myself . Orlando Florida . Best of the best ! Technology, comfort , ABS , super fast & it’s just an eye catching machine most ppl who ride never knew they made a bmw scooter . & best of the best BMW BABY

Thank you so much for the video. Really helped me try to figure out which scooter to get.

In fact, the price is really high, but there is value in those three letters of the brand

Great review. Excellent camera work, you conveyed the agility so well. Good job 👍

Thanks for the review. Very informative. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful, thorough review! I appreciate your honesty too. That is a really cool looking scooter though. I am looking at this and a used Burgman 400 for my first bike at 69 years old. Fuel economy and FUN !

Thanks for video I would prefer the Honda Forza 350, great quality and much cheaper. 👍

I had about 20 bikes and scoots. All range. Scoots like piaggio medley, kymco downtown 350, piaggio x9, honda x adv and i test rode many other. Including forza 750, forza 350, piaggio beverly 300 and 400, voge sr4 etc, honda sh. Motorcycles like bmw f850gs adv and others. Now i own a 2022 c 400 gt. Bought it slightly used with 5500 km on it and it was used for one and half year before. First of all, even if you hear about being something like lets say, relatives with voge sr4 max, well... Nope! Bmw ride quality etc is absolutely obvious when you ride both. So the price difference between them is absolutely logical. What i can say is that, for me, i am very satisfied with it, ranking it to my top bikes. I live in athens greece, i move in big roads every day and its a joy!! Plush to its best. But i know its a scoot, so i dont expect to go to really bad roads and dont feel a thing... Also great looks!! For me is top! The truth is that its expensive, so thats why i bought it slightly used and from 9500euros i payed something like 7000

I'm just considering buying a used one for 6100€ with one year of warranty left and less than 6000km on the clock. It's fully equiped with all the options so it's really not worth buying it new.

Great content ! Congratulations!

Hi,could you maybe do a review on the Zontes 350E ?

When it is hot at a light stop the sound of the exhaust is like a Vietnam Bell helicopter 😊

I used to have a Forza 300. It is undoubtedly a great scoot. But I have had the BMW C400GT from new 17 months ago and I do prefer it. I went for the analogue dash rather than the more expensive digital as I didn't feel the need for the connectivity. I use my mobile on a Quad Lock holder as my sat nav connected to my headset. I haven't had any issues at all on my C400GT; it's just a brilliant scoot. Feels light and flickable on the move, slow speed manners are impeccable with more than enough pick up and go. It is expensive compared to the competition no doubt, but a price worth paying in my personal experience.

The only thing that I’m very sad about BMW C400GT is the under seat storage that doesn’t match with the price tag. It’s just simply too expensive. Suzuki Burgman 400 is my personal choice in this segment.

Good review, thanks

Great looking scooter but way too expensive for a 350cc

I did not see that in any of your reviews of this model or even on Shad and such pages. Is there actually an option for side bags on BMW C 400 GT / X line? Top case is for sure, but side paniers? Especially as underseat storage is joke?

nice review - it is good to see these get more attention as I think they are overlooked alot of the time - can you share what brand the crash bars are please?

Gracias por los subtitulos en español. Y enhorabuena por la prueba del BMW C400gt. Yo tengo una Beverly 350 desde hace 10 años y en general, estoy bastante contento. He llevado la C400, tanto la x como la gt, y también van muy bien, me gustó un poco más la x que la gt. La BMW es más de carretera, y la beverly es un poco más de ciudad, al ser más ligera, se nota la beverly un poco más ágil. Podías hacer una prueba de la beverly 400, que estoy interesado en ella, y además hay pocas pruebas en KZfaq. Un saludo enorme desde Zaragoza (España) ✌🏻👍🏻🙋🏻

Nice review, very informative. Any update from BMW about the cause of noise you mentioned?

I wonder what current the USB phone charger can provide.

Thanks for the review. Can you tell me who makes the windshield you have on the C400GT? Thanks!

the video productions is outstanding the audio needs some improvement I think if you do voice over later it will sound better. what cameras did you use?

Would be great if you could do a review of the Voge SR4 Max 350

Come tutti i prodotti Tedeschi ha alta qualità ma lo paghi di più... Una scelta individuale, certo BMW è una garanzia di qualità👍

Thanks for the video. I don't understand, you find the BMW too expensive but did buy it anyway? I think I would have bought the Forza 350 with 5 years of warranty (at least where I live) although I like the looks of the BMW better.

I think BMW can do better with the underseat storage and the mirrors and the softness of the red taillight. Also make it la little lighter.

Did you manage to resolve the snaring sound? The ws wasn’t able to identify the issue. thanks

Nice review. Informative and unbiased. Cheers. I’m heavily considering the 2024 Xmax 300 Tech Max right now, but am a bit worried it may be under powered for light (overnight trip) touring. By the way, what helmet are you wearing in this video? The visibility out of that thing looks huge! Maybe it’s just a bit of fish-eye lens effect from your camera, but I really like this helmet!

I'll take the Piaggio BV400. More horsepower, lighter and nearly 4K less. Servicing the Piaggio is also a lot less. Vespa/Piaggio have been masking scooters for over 70 years a lot longer than BMW. Their scooters dominate the Europe market because of their price and reliability.

Hi Marc, thank you for the great informative videos you produce. I had the rattle it sound on my bike at a certain rpm, I noticed when the vibrations were the greatest. I found out that it was just the back license plate vibrating against the license base plate. All I did was put double sided tape and the problem was solved, I hope this is your case, take care and thank you. From Hamilton , Canada

nice bike!

@ mark stones can you tell me if you can install heated seats on the Xmas? Why do you say it’s better than the C400? The 2023 are on good deals

is there any other brand with heating seat and heating grip? i was thinking in getting a suzuki burgman 650 but they don't have those things

Hello nice review of the bike. Where did you buy this crash guard? Can you send me the link. Thanks

I’m in Australia and just had the 10k service with BMW for A$511…….. Apparently the 20k is even more. I love ❤the bike just not the service costs.

very good review 👍 could you try to review the clone SR4 max also to compare with this one, it would be nice

Have your Dealer figured out what was the rattling sound at 5.200 rpm yet? I think it comes from the center stand spring or side stand spring... i also have an annoying sound coming from the LCD/ Dash... Despite these annoying noises and the small storage capacity, all the rest is greater than the other 350 scooters, i had to swap a new Forza 350 with only 4 months since new, with a used C400 GT with 8 months, because the Forza made me back pain, and had not a good driving position. So far i'm very satisfied with my C400GT.

The 360 camera provides a really excellent video. (I have one too!)

Amazing review Marc. Can you please give me your professional opinion on Honda Adv 350 vs CG400 gt? Now when Honda came up with new colors for 2024, I am not sure anymore which one of these 2 to buy. Thanks a lot!

There’s no adv350 in Australia, this or the x-max?

Agradeço pela avaliação completa.

Hallo aus Falkensee! nun habe ich mir auch neu ein gekauft bei BMW zum nice Preis

Hi Marc. The fact this is your 3rd C400GT it obviously works for your personally (Yes, I realise one was written off). Did you try adjusting the rear shock settings if it makes any difference to the noise issue?

Hallo, ich bin auf der Suche nach Forza und Xmax 2nd Hand, ihre Preise sind fast die gleichen. Meine Frage ist, welcher ist bei gleichem Preis vorzuziehen 😀 !?

Thanks for the rough road comment, very relevant to my situation. What scoot do you think is best for rough roads?

Ah nice, 9.5K Euros! I paid almost 13K for mine here - still worth it 😅.

Perhaps the Honda adv 750 after all was a better choise for you? 😊

what would you do for the suspinsion?

I have the same rattling noise. Bought it new, have about 4000 kms in it.

?, what has happened to the bmw c400gt uploads,haven't seen much lately. You were my inspiration to purchase mine ,very informative videos that influenced my decision. Have you fallen out of favor with th c400gt?

I would have got the forza 750 🤔

Great second hand scoot. Impossible to justify as a new purchase

I'll take kymco AK 550 with its nice twin cylinder with more power

Nice overall as far as reviews, excellent camera work. But why would anyone want Chinese "ripped-off" tech. goods over German, Italian, Japanese or American. Anybody but Chinese, please. Your accent sounds Teutonic, why peddle Chinese?

why BMW is not making 650gt anymore?

سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم استغفرالله♥️الحمدلله

I had same noise, bmw couldnt fix it. Also had locking fuel cap fail, rotary controller fail, mode selector button fail, seat difficult to close. That was on a 2022 model. Bmw too busy fixing backlog of GS recalls to care. Had a bmw rninet and load of issues with that. Bmw is bottom of the reliability table, my ducati, enfield, triumph, all more reliable, never buying bmw again. Be warned if thinking about one.

Lack of storage, expense and Chinese manufacture seem to be the downsides?

In Italy 8,5K , but Forza 350 is around 7,5K so i would deffinetly prefer the BMW

Nice scoot, but too expensive.

The Honda Forza 350 is much more reliable with a better price. Even it has a electrical windscreen, better mirrors.

Are you a captain sir.

who cares about heated grips and lights in underseat compartment and stuff like that, at the end the most important thing is how it rides on bumpy roads

Thanks, I'll take the Forza 350 from Honda

YAMAHA XMAX IS THE WAY TO GO.

13:09 If I have the choice between built-in-China and built-in-Europe, i would pick Euro first even tho if it is more expensive. Those asian guys are working for free and its not my problem.

Wait, did you just say this BMW is built in China??

Manufactured for BMW by Kymco of Taiwan which is a very experienced Scooter company. The Kymco "version" of this is an Xciting S 400i, so far as I can determine.

I don’t recommend it.

😨 How much? Nice but too pricey for me. Thanks for sharing Marc, ride safely my friend : Russ 👍🏼🛵
