As I mentioned to you 11 months back, I had just ordered a xmax300 for January this years delivery. To present due to covid I have only done 5000 kms, my planned and looked forward to ride down to Almeria, had to be cancelled. The scooter has to present been faultless. The extra cost of the xmax 400 includes a front twin disc setup plus a handle bar mounted operated hand brake, which I would find useful on the 300. Some things to bear in mind if going for a new scooter,will Yamaha in the near future introduce a new 350 version to compete with the new Honda 350 Forsa. The Akrapovic exhaust to my mind is not worth the 750 euro cost, though it is lighter than the standard one. I also tried a sports screen on mine, but reverted back to the standard screen. The only cripe I have is I do not like the keyless ignition system, though that's not a fault with the bike,just my preference. I would recommend the xmax300 to everyone, just bear in mind a new 350 could be on the horizon.
Hi, thanks for the status update. I also saw that new Honda Forza 350 is on the horizon. Maybe another alternative for me. I am not fixed at the XMAX300. Open for anything :)
Thank you, I agree. Bought a 2019 new and am thankful, I did 25000.flawless kilometres..( my keyless remote fell out of my tracksuit pants.while riding at high speed and got damaged only incident.( Put my 2xl helmet on it's side under the passenger seat.) I got aftermarket mirrors and 40l "bin" at the back.
I just purchased a 2023 Sword Gray XMAX 300cc. Previous bike was a 125cc. Love it. Power...comfort..design..Bluetooth..so far only 52 miles on my odometer. If you live in Maryland. Ellicott City Motorsports..great salesman Ed and Sales Mgr..you dont know the experience you missing.😮
I pick up my 2023 Xmax 300 tomorrow from K&N Cycles tomorrow for only $6299 out the door!!!! It's like a steal at that price !!!! K&N Cycles is in Tulsa, Ok Same prices in Arkansas !!!
My new 2021 DNA Black Yamaha X Max 300 scooter has now done 500km. It’s winter 🥶 in Australia 🇦🇺 and I’m loving it 😍. Upgraded the seat, foot plates, rear seat rest, sports windscreen plus Akrapovic. We don’t have the Tech Pack here so mine is close to. Like riding a 🐴 horse!!!! Thanks for your reviews they helped me choose 💪❤️🥇🇦🇺🤩✅😎⚽️🥅
Hey mate can I ask a couple of thinks because I leave in Australia NSW and they don't have anything in stores to manage test it! I am 1.85 do you think is going to be OK for my hight? It is easy to travel with a second person (wife) and it is comfortable for a 200-250 km travels? Where did you get your peripherals? And if you have anything that you don't like? Thanks !
I’m just part exchanging my xmax 400 (2013) model to the xmax 300. Picking it up next week so super excited. I wonder if I miss any extra power at all but I doubt it as the 300 is 30 kg less in weight and only 5HP less. I will find out soon. Nice review btw, well done !
Im picking yp my new 2023 Xmax tomorrow from K&N Cycles for only $6299.......what are others on here paying in US dollars ???? Im getting a steal .....K&N Cycles is in Tulsa, Ok ....Arkansas has same prices
Hello, as a matter of fact, today, I will be test riding the new 2021 Yamaha XMAX300 and the new Honda Forza 350, so maybe I can better compare them. Stay tuned!
I just actually love the Yamaha XMax Tech Max I actually planning on buying myself one of these scooter's in a few years now but frist place I will definitely buy myself a Yamaha Zuma and then much later on in my life then buy myself the Yamaha XMax Tech Max so please definitely let me know right away what exactly everyone else thinks about my plans in my life
Hi, thanks. Legroom is about the same. The seat from the Forza seems more approachable and not so "in the way" if you know what I mean. Watch my video about the Honda Forza 125 (2020): th-cam.com/video/laKppmoZqdc/w-d-xo.html I might mention some stuff in that video which you may find useful, although it has the smaller engine. When it comes to the underseat storage I think the Honda is a little bit bigger. My helmet fit in there but not in the XMAX.
Honda is better in material, engine, design and quality. Yamaha needs to buckle up and take it up a notch. What's with the color range and the cheap mirrors? In this price range they can do better.
If you do another trip like this, and you should pick one of two models Xmax300 and C400GT, wich do you pick? Im confused wich one is the better for daily drive!!
Hello, might be able to test ride the new BMW. Also, test ride tomorrow, XMAX300 is coming up. I guess I will know mre soon. Thanks for watching! It all depends on what is important to you. If you need a lot underseat storage you need to take the XMAX.
Almost buy a honda forza 350,but in last minute decide for x max 300...great bike only mistake that in corner if you go to much low you scrath the road with standpost...but i was pushing to hard.ha ha...and in my country is very expensive-7000eur
The exhaust sets it off nice in looks expensive if it does nothing much... I have the forza 300 changed my helmet from an x-lite 703 to a x-lite 903 and yeah same size in both but the new 903 is a struggle to fit under the seat... strange... the helmet only fits at the veru bottom not the too end

@@BenalRida Ah cheers bud, very kind. i have actually had a "full" bike license 21 years in the uk, and i have had many many motorcycles and scooters, unfortunately in the UK you are looked down on if you ride a scooter, i would love to change that perception. ill have a think about Vlogging, if it changed the macho image of peoples thoughts against scooter riders it may be worth a go!

@@magpiemale ah nice one bud! i like the Forza also , i only done 180 miles so far on the xmax but it has averaged 86.3 mpg! (worked on pump fillings not bike computer) You will certainly get better MPG than the fazer, obviously acceleration and top speed are a lot different but if it can do 75/80 you can go anywhere! Hopefull see you around, and many more also!
@@michaelwade1092 not unless you live around Northampton area lol... thanks for the reply on the onboard computer i get on average 72-75mpg £20 gets me to great Yarmouth n back I do hold it at 75-80 though. As at 65-70 the fuel consumption seems the same are not much less
Hi Zombie, at the moment I'm kinda short on cash so I cannot afford any new scooter. I wish I could. I guess I would shoot for the new Honda Forza 350 with top box.

Was there any noticeable difference?
I'm having a blast riding mine.
I enjoyed your review! Beautiful area as you were riding!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
The one dislike on this scooter is that you can't open the seat without cutting the engine off. Other than that, I like my X Max 300.
Yes, the XMAX300 is great I think.
@@BenalRida have u had any experience with the Kymco brand
@@brendalamgdord8012 Hello Brenda, nope, just two test rides.
Why would you want to open the seat while driving lol
The same on my PCX150, don't see it as a problem as it would be difficult to lift the seat while riding. :)

Sym Citycom 300i is a much better scooter.. its been around over 20 years..same engine..same everything..it works no bullcrap
Nice Video, thx for the impressions. Good Intro!
Glad you liked it! Thanks again!
Personally I would think the honda forza 350 is better, not least because of the electric adjustable screen compared to this
Great review again. Which bike do you prefer between the XMax 300 or the Firza 300? Legroom is better on the xmax or the forza?
Hi, thanks. Legroom is about the same. The seat from the Forza seems more approachable and not so "in the way" if you know what I mean. Watch my video about the Honda Forza 125 (2020): th-cam.com/video/laKppmoZqdc/w-d-xo.html I might mention some stuff in that video which you may find useful, although it has the smaller engine. When it comes to the underseat storage I think the Honda is a little bit bigger. My helmet fit in there but not in the XMAX.
Yoshimura is far better of for x max .the feeling of riding will change
Nice Video! Thx!
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for stopping by.
Honda is better in material, engine, design and quality. Yamaha needs to buckle up and take it up a notch. What's with the color range and the cheap mirrors? In this price range they can do better.
Yamaha parts price way much better than Honda.
Yamaha got lots of accessories at great prices compare to Honda.
@@arazshah916 yeah, you need accessories when you buy yamaha, it's true.
I test rode both the Forza 300 and Xmax 300. Can´t say there was any difference in build quality...
@@Watson2108 well good for you
Honda engine deeign better? Go google which japanese maker has the most issues with engines shitting themselves.
I am in the process of going from a PCX to the XMAX. Probably a 2021 change
Definitely a good choice!
Me too also thinking to buy xmax on 2021 as is good opportunity as the EURO5 will be launched and the engines will change

nice clip! any vibration on these bikes through the handlebars compared to say a normal road bike?
No, I didn't feel any vibrations in the handle bars. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info on this and thanks for watching!
Honda forza 350 or xmax 300 what’s your choice?
Very difficult decision, at the moment I would lean towards the Honda Forza.
How tall are you regards touching the floor on the xmax?
Hello, I am 1,75 m.
The mirrors suck compared to Honda forza (which is not available in US). Unbelievable!
How many seconds 0 to 60 please?
Please look here: th-cam.com/video/EjN4pvOngyI/w-d-xo.html
@@BenalRida Thank you

Did you end up buying it?
Hello, actually I did. I bought a 2021 model but I sold it a few months later in order to buy my Honda X-ADV.
