Thanks for the great series on these 2 bikes. I have owned a Forza 350 and was thinking of buying the xmax 300 and you have helped me to decide to buy one!
both bikes are duel channel abs. i guess what i should have said - i am going to apply front brake only or rear brake only but i did say both stoppers...lol so hes what i can say hitting both brake levers on the 300 xmax bought it down fairly quick. a hard hit on front brake and it appeared to still work fine a hard application on rear disc only and i experience abs shudder. this happened on both bikes xmax and faorza brake shudder from the abs working hard but final results on the braking the forza 350 was way ahead of the xmax300 in all areas of braking but not so in the suspension dept in fct i would be surprised at all if the forza 350 would outbrake my new 022 honda cb500x with twin front disc ive been on heaps of new motorcycles and the forza 350 set up could be the best so far
G'day mate, that's a great test everyone should have to test a new Motorbike or scooter like that, l have with my new Royal Enfield 650 to test both front and back breaks and the ABS responds at different speeds, thanks for that,cheers Neil 🤠.
honda has more power and better brakes but i think the yamaha has the better suspension for bumpy roads and better finish. actually very well put together and is a good $1000 cheaper too. i'd go yamaha but its a close call as i like the power and braking on the honda but can't have everything i suppose
What I found interesting in that clip was that the Yamaha's transmission didn't let the engine rev to anywhere near the 9K redline, under what I assume was full throttle, where you would expect the engine to make maximum power. It kind of makes me wonder if that redline on the tachometer is there more for looks than to provide useful information regarding the stress being placed on the engine.
honda has the power on tap and the yamaha has the better suspension on rough sections of road. if all your riding is on smooth roads the honda is very hard to beat but on rough surfaces yamaha rides bumps the best. these clips show exactly what i mean when i put scooters over rough roads so its a very hard call. its either power against ride quailty so that would be the best i can answer.
Nice reviews, thank you. I cant find the Honda 0 To 100, link that works please? (I tried the link in comments above but it doesn't work, says private).
honda was quicker to 100 kph and better brakes. since this test i sold both scooters. thought it over and it was a mistake. if you check my history video clips you see which one i bought and why
@@ridewithwarro yeah thanks, Ive watched them all, i enjoyed them allot, very informative, thank you. What do you mean when you say "thought it over and it was a mistake." ? I will be buying one within next few months i'm currently leaning toward the Forza, im hoping to test ride them both before i buy (UK).
@@ryanfuller2744 i sold both scooter and if you watch all these reviews you hear me say several times the xmax is the better scooter. after selling both as there was very little interest in the comparison as view were a pathetic 2000 per clip i bought 2 new motorcycles. after riding them i thought it over and missed the scooter experience so i bought another. i said in the testing the xmax was the best! i bought just that...an xmax and to get to that result cost me the $$$ involved selling both new scooters. buying another xmax and having it transported 1000 klm total expense selling and rebuying was a loss of $7000 plus $10000 to buy another one you may get to test ride one for free but that wont help much. just remember ive given you the answer and it cost me $7000 to give it to you. xmax is the better scooter!
not sure on that as a while back i had some guy tell me this wasa 019 model. but the aust compliance plate shows 021 and its the latest colour combo from the yamaha importers site all the best!
John you're getting a new Xmax soon aren't you.Be really great city transport especially in Auckland & motorway speed capable as you know on your epic 3hr trip to Tauranga.
@@ruahinesrider Hi Ruahines ! Yes I was hoping to trade in my present XMax for a 2022 XMax in May or June. Depends on finances. As Warro is a billionaire, he can afford a whole stable of bikes. But I am a mere peasant and a servant of our lord and a lowly one at that.

Thanks for the great series on these 2 bikes. I have owned a Forza 350 and was thinking of buying the xmax 300 and you have helped me to decide to buy one!
thats the way to go
Good one Warro great tests gave them brakes a good work out if you could smell them
not only on the yamaha but the honda too...lol
How did you get the ABS to work on front only?? as far as I know the xmax is ABS front and back. (honda is front only i believe)
both bikes are duel channel abs. i guess what i should have said - i am going to apply front brake only or rear brake only but i did say both stoppers...lol
so hes what i can say
hitting both brake levers on the 300 xmax bought it down fairly quick. a hard hit on front brake and it appeared to still work fine
a hard application on rear disc only and i experience abs shudder. this happened on both bikes xmax and faorza brake shudder from the abs working hard
but final results on the braking the forza 350 was way ahead of the xmax300 in all areas of braking but not so in the suspension dept
in fct i would be surprised at all if the forza 350 would outbrake my new 022 honda cb500x with twin front disc
ive been on heaps of new motorcycles and the forza 350 set up could be the best so far
That kind of great performance would come in handy for crazy city driving situations.
i'd say so ....lol or just a bit of a burst along a rarely used back road
G'day mate, that's a great test everyone should have to test a new Motorbike or scooter like that, l have with my new Royal Enfield 650 to test both front and back breaks and the ABS responds at different speeds, thanks for that,cheers Neil 🤠.
all good there and glad to hear you enjoyed the viewing experience-all the best!
What did you decide in the end? If you were going to be buy just one would it be the Yamaha or Honda?
honda has more power and better brakes but i think the yamaha has the better suspension for bumpy roads and better finish. actually very well put together and is a good $1000 cheaper too.
i'd go yamaha but its a close call as i like the power and braking on the honda but can't have everything i suppose
@@ridewithwarro Thanks very much. Do you think the Yamaha suffers for having less power?
@@davymark not really it just delivers the power more smoothly compared to the honda which lays it on. either bike will do at lest 140 kph so not slow
@@ridewithwarro Great. Thanks very much.

i bet if i fitted smaller rollers/sliders it would liven it up more and get it further up the rev scale....lol
Which one would you choose overall if you must, which one is the better buy? The Honda or the Yamaha?
honda has the power on tap and the yamaha has the better suspension on rough sections of road.
if all your riding is on smooth roads the honda is very hard to beat but on rough surfaces yamaha rides bumps the best.

Hi, I wonder why the XMAX in different regions of the world have different displays?
not sure on that as a while back i had some guy tell me this wasa 019 model. but the aust compliance plate shows 021 and its the latest colour combo from the yamaha importers site
all the best!
Hi Warro ! Brakes are adequate. But acceleration is pretty good I feel.
Agreed but the forza feels quicker off the mark. either way both pretty good sets of wheels

Well done mate I think the shoutout last clip helped with my subscribers I am
Already at 223
Well done
@@ridewithwarro thanks mate I going to be happy when I get 250
@@nathansoutbackfishing might not be that long before you hit the magic 1000 subs. only way to do that is keep throwing up plenty of clips
@@ridewithwarro that’s it mate I sure will see a spike in my subs after the mulwala trip on January
Hey mate I gave you a shoutout just then for my shoutout from you
thanks -keep up the good work. did you get anything special for xmas
@@ridewithwarro all good I sure did get something special o got a GoPro hero 7 silver with a few other things an
@@nathansoutbackfishing sounds good. you'll beable to swing to that camera and do your clips with it
@@ridewithwarro yep I sure will
13 seconds to 100kph. Ford Cortina Mk 5 1600 time. Oh dear. Guess the bike doesn't know what a red line is.
not too quick and the honda forza 350 would be faster
It should do it in 9 seconds, maybe it wasn‘t fully broken in yet🧐
The yamaha kicks the honda into touch. Build quality and performance is far better. The welding on the honda handlebars in your last video was horrid.
i must admit i was a bit surprised when i pulled back the handlebar covers. i too expected a lot better in that area for aud$10k....lol
