What will you be gaining, or look to gain over the J300?
I'm not getting a new J300 mainly because it has stood still since launch in 2014 whereas the Xmax has since gained the same power output, plus traction and keyless. It also has more internal storage and a longer service interval. The Xmax 300 looks (to me) a lot better now than previously. I was disappointed with Kawasaki UK's interest in scooter owners too.
I considered the Forza but I have never been too keen on it, really. The Downtown 350 could have been a contender but Kymco are not bringing it in. Regarding Sym's, I am not encouraged by their dealer network but I am not counting the bikes out forever and will see what's what in 3 years. What
would have rocked my boat would have been a Satelis 400 but there is no sign of ABS and a dealer told me they were probably going to drop it altogether anyway.
On the other hand, I am going to miss the looks of the J300 and suspect that the Yam will be less fun to ride and have less road presence (the green of the SE really makes a difference, IMO). I am going to miss it.
