You can add the BMW C400 GT and the Kymco X-Town 300 & maybe the AK 550 (I dunno, the engine size kind of puts this one in a class of it's own) to the competition list. I'd still choose my XMax over all of them. Every ride this bike impresses me.

Xmax 300 is indeed a great scoot, not having the Forza 350 in the US means it really has little competition. The Burgman is heavier and much older tech. Over the pond the Forza is cheaper than both and you can also throw in the ADV 350 which is possibly better still. Scoots in EU outsell motorbikes every year, even the UK which seems to love them less.

You definitely can find the BMW 450gt in u.s. but it's over 10k$ probably like 12k$ out the door is really high, but the BMW does have lot options like heated seats and grips and bunch other stuff you likely wouldn't miss with the Bergman or xmax I'll definitely be looking forward to your 24 Xmax review!!

I think the Italians and Taiwanese scooters are pretty reliable and reasonable priced also. More test ride videos please!!

Thank you brother awesome information and a great video

You're lucky with those temps, we still haven't hit consistent 60's yet here. So when we do get a couple of days here and there that are sunny and in the 60's we're outside taking the time to clean up the yard before all kinds of plants and weeds start growing. I've been waiting for more nice sunny days so I can put the new battery in the scooter and start working on my vintage dirt bike to get that going for the summer. :)

Thanks Dan... I agree with your assessment. The Xmax covers it for allot less. I really love your area. Your images are just so quaint and lovely. Never a disappointment. Gord

I just took possession of the 2024. I sent out emails to the state's dealerships and the next day was contacted to be told that a 2024 had just come in on the other side of the state. Told them I'd be down the next day as it was obvious these things weren't going to be readily available. $8,000 out the door. I don't even have my endorsement yet (just started the process) but knew I better snatch this up while the getting was good.

I would really like an X Max, I have a 2021 PCX 160, I have put 9,880 miles on it since I bought it new in early 2022. I have watched your videos on the X MAX is very impressive. I couldn’t think of going to a regular motorcycle. I can’t afford to not have the on board-storage. Keep the excellent videos coming. 👍

Great video -- thanks for it! What year is the XMax in this video? What do you think of this one with the analog dials compared to the all digital dash on the 2024 you reviewed in another video? Are there other differences besides the dash that having preferring one over the other? Asking, as I'm considering an earlier 2022 model vs the 2024. I'm leaning on the former since it's low mileage and the latter has nearly 1,000 in new vehicle dealer fees tacked on.

Good info scooterman. Agreed the x max has no real u.s. competition. Best bang for the bucks. Best to buy it new and customize it yourself. I feel the scooterman hates the rear trunk they sell.

I'm in Canada and received my '24 XMAX one week ago that I had ordered in late March. Canadian model only comes in Raven Black with blue wheels and is otherwise identical to the US model with the double instrumentation. I'm 5'-6 and the seat is too high for me and hard. In fact, it is higher than other bikes I had that had a similar stated seat height, including a Burgman 650. Fortunately, it is light and has the typical low center of gravity of a scooter. I put the windshield in the highest of 2 positions to reduce turbulence at helmet level and put the rear shocks at the softest setting (I'm 160 pounds ready to ride). The proximity key is too much of a good thing and asks you to fiddle with the controller button for everything. Putting a key in the ignition is far simpler. The engine works well and is smooth and silent. In less than half a tank, I'm averaging 3.0L/100 km or 78 MPG US. You're correct about the Burgman 400 now way too expensive. $11K here in Canada, $2700. more than I paid for the 75 pounds lighter Yamaha. Must be in part because it is Hecho in Indonesia.

My kymco xtown 300 was $5200 out the door. I'm very happy with it. Kymco makes the BMW scoots.

The Piaggio BV400 is about the same price as the XMax....

I have had 2 burgman 650 honda silverwing and yamaha tmax and now own a 2020 yamaha x Yamaha x max hands down best scooter 90miles an hour and twice the gas mpg of the others mention can't speak for vespa very expensive also not big about 12 inch wheels those are my thoughts
