I wish yamaha would bring back the T-max to the states. But I love having a few scoots in the garage along with my bikes and I am seriously looking at the kymco. How do you like the bike overall? Would you buy it again?
In many ways the nc750x is better; mpg, more dealers (parts, service), power. Without being able to test drive though, I think the Ak seating is better for me (I can move around and throw legs back). The saddle type seating, like what my ktm390adv came with, restricts movement when your sit bones hurt. Africa Twin DCT, or X-ADV if it comes to US, is on my future wish list if the seating is better. So far at 700 miles I would get it again.
Seems like the bmw has more leg room for comfort. I sat on both. I'm 6'1 230, 32 inseam. The bmw just has more room ,in the natural scooter riding position. I can turn freely in flat and extended leg position. Just haven't test road them. Do you think the 550 is overkill for a 20.min commute? Would like to see more videos of the ak550. Thanks.
the xmax or c400gt seems to be sweet spot for practical, price, mpg. ak550 is fun, powerful. mpg is only 47 US with regular gas, dealer options are limited. i was hoping to make longer trips so ak would better. But my body can only handle 2.5 hours of riding max. PCX that I had was only good for city on flat roads. 20 minute commute I would get xmax due to price and more youtube repair videos.
I skimmed through video and may have missed it. He may have been talking about the adjustable brake levers. I am planning on uploading a longer review of mine in a few days.@@donaldmosby6931

@omodd thanks for the input. I didn't really consider the xmax but I'm gonna look into it. Thanks again.
Back again, do you know if the handlebar are adjustable,? saw a video that mentioned they can be adjusted for more clearance.
I didn't know this could be done, cannot find in manual.
@omodd yes it was quick the video is Kymco ak550 vs SYM TL508. he quickly mentioned it .
