Thanks Sam, I always look forward to your entertaining videos and wish you all the best on the move to Thailand, you will smash it and look forward to the beers 🍻
The tape on the rims look fine & adds a little difference to the bike. The break down costs for the bike costs is always good to know. Thanks for the vid Jas. 👍
Thanks Phil, hopefully the look won’t annoy me as I’m a fussy bugger but if it does, I will remove it 👍Always appreciate your comments & support, thank you 🙏
Road tax is 100 BHT and government insurance is 650bht ish. 4 year vehicle inspection for your licencing is 60bht. Also suggest you get both air filters changed as they will be dirty. Order from Lazada.
To be honest Jason your channel is the only Aussie one I’m subscribing to I find the others rubbish and same old crap with no end product or information just walking around talking shite Keep up the great work
I really enjoyed this one Jason. One thing I would like to see though, when you get to the point where you need the variator components replaced, I'd like to see the actual work being done. Thanks for this one Jason.
good choice, bought a Versys x300 last year, (my 3rd moto over a 30+ year period) last one was a 150cc twist and go from Shanghai 2008-2010'ish, and before that a Sanyang 125 in Taipei 1990-1993
One hell of a lot cheaper then what it use to cost me for my Yamaha 1100 in Canada... the tape on the rims.... I can take it or leave it... nice to have a little customization.
Thanks mate another great show I like the tape something different and the service for your scooter ,the oil is the best I think just keep doing the same .Another day in Paradise
Hi Jason thanks for sharing,as always very informative video.I heard you mentioned that James has a ADV350, wasn't he happy with his Xmax and have you ridden the ADV350...Would like to know your opinion...thanks Jason..regards Sam
Hi mate, thank you. He was happy with the Xmax but he likes to change bikes/cars a lot. We will make a video in the future and put them head to head. He said the ADV is not that much different and some aspects of the Xmax are better 👍
It one thing to go to independant place but it cost me 345 baht for my xmax service from the yamaha dealership , here in bkk the yr tax cost me 425 baht including the compulsary insurance ( tor ror bor )
good video this is stuff people need to know so the what to expect of ownership and of what to expect in terms of money i like the rim tape just enough there but not to flashy thank you sir
Well the Rim Tape could help you easier identify your bike if is parked around other X-maxs' in the lot, it's probably a lot more useful if you have a Honda Wave, so many of them around about.
I'm in the USA and I'm picking up my new 2023 Xmax 300 soon !!! How do you like the price for all the things that come standard ???? Does yours go 80 mph easily ?
That’s good, mine is a 2022 and the price was okay, just no discount and wasn’t offered any options. Gets up to 120kph pretty quickly 👍. Enjoy your new bike mate
Ring tape looks great! You will know your bike when you see it and it looks a bit flashy in a good way. Very nice overview of the costs of the bike. Thank you
Great video as usual very informative, quick question tho,have you ever rode or know anyone who has the aprilia sr gt200 .im moving over there in September and cant find much info on them
Don’t think so, I actually really like gold rims on a white bike and was going to get the rims painted gold but wanted to try the tape first, maybe one day I will get them painted 👍
Road tax for my Kawasaki D-Tracker 250 is just over 100 baht, so shouldnt cost much more, rim stickers look good for the price, just depends how long they stay on....
Good heads up & info about mbike costs there as very reasonable. Lots expats got their own regular mbike servicing shops around town I guess but that one looks good with all in house. I’m a Honda PCX AdV fan so guess be bit cheaper to run than an Xmax 300. The rims look good as look like BMW M power colours. 🤔😉😎
Thanks mate, would definitely be cheaper for a PCX/ADV, both good bikes but for what I do I need a bigger bike and the Xmax is perfect for me 👍. Yeah rim tape definitely has the M look, see if I get sick of it as I have major OCD 😩 If it annoys me after a while it’s coming off
The x max is a great bike .Road tax in Thailand is tiny ,i forget exactly maybe B250 for a 300 cc .Here in Ireland i have an older xmax 250 cc .Road tax here is B3,000 a year and fully Comp insurance about 50% more than you are paying .I do the servicing myself for oil changes .I had a N-M,ax when i was in Thailand .Bought it at Union Auctions Chiang Mai as one year old . Had to sell it when leaving .Sad to let it go .
A1 always need the best jason in OILS etc. Australia it costs a lot more indeed as I know as I have a Aprilia RSV4 and service is always a High Cost just the way it is.
rims look great, kinda M3 styling colours...............................re oil changes, I had Clicks for many many years and used to have the oil changed (just cheapo lube) every 2000 miles or so and they never missed a beat, bit extreme I know, but was sooh cheap, seemed like the right thing to do................................
Kies one has really hit it if cooper went to BKK he would of got the same extras and free 1 year insurance and more baht off and GR sport at that price but if he's happy good for him when I visit your way it would be good to catch up
Living off a redundancy payment, no income and no huge bank balance but cost of living is so much less than Australia and I live on a very tight budget 👍
@@valenzi69 do you own a property that generates rental income? I’m not a financial advisor but people tell me you could invest 100k in fully franked dividend stocks that pay you an amount each year or maybe quarterly??? Maybe talk to someone about it. I budget 30,000 baht per month for everything excluding rent and you can rent a decent studio for around 5000 baht per month
@@goodvibespattaya2423 I knew you would take it in stride. I think it looks great and makes your Max stand out from the rest. As some other subscribers have said, you can find it easy in a crowded parking lot. You take really great care of your vehicles and abode.

Splash of blue elsewhere on the bike would help the blue rim tape. ✊
Thanks Shane, good idea mate - I will look into it 👍
Rim tape looks good, what about can u get bump stops fitted on a scooter in case u drop it?

@goodvibespattaya2423 that would be very appreciated mate also waiting to see you compare yours with James's bike
@@Ant-qu1bs No worries mate, just trying to get James to commit to a day 👍
Is the rim tape reflective at night? Thought you may have gone with gold with the white duco.

Hi Jason, Are there 3-Wheel motorcycle rentals available in Thailand?
Not sure mate, I know there is a shop that sells modified bikes that have 2 rear wheels, I will call in there one day and ask if they rent them
Road tax for my Kawasaki D-Tracker 250 is just over 100 baht, so shouldnt cost much more, rim stickers look good for the price, just depends how long they stay on....

04:15 . They start celebrating Christmas 🎄 early over there 😂🤣

To lazy to take them down from last year....
Good shop indeed good to support them A1.
Absolutely 👍
Yay for me as in BangsaYay and PattaYay!
😂😂😂 love it 👍
What’s needed to be 100% legal when riding a bike been want to rent one in pattaya when I’m vacation. I always see the police writing tickets to them.
If you are here for a holiday/vacation make sure you have an international license that includes motorcycle, here long term you need a Thai license 👍
Good on ya JJ 👍
