Newbie here-
Wanted to introduce myself, i've just picked up a new (to me) X-max 400 in white, i have owned a few different bikes over the years but the more recent years the maxi scooters have been a lot cheaper and easier to commute on so in order of old to new i've had a Peugeot Speedfight 100, Gilera Runner VXR, which i changed for a carb's X-max 250 (after 2 years of use, finally started to break) so replaced that with a newer X-max 250i (which again after 18 months started to play games with a misfire) so 2 weeks ago finally became the owner of the new x-max 400.
Sad to say I'm still not 100% convinced over the 250i but i do like the extra oomph seeing as it's normally 2-up with a full top box.
I wanted to give it a review and see if you guys that have them agree:
- 400cc, ooh yes yes yes initially a lot more torque and bit more oomph off the line but also a hell of a lot more vibrations to go with it. (hopefully this might settle down after a few miles!?)
The screen squeaks and rattles like a good one on the power / pull off
The brakes are good especially the front with the 2 disc set up but also the levers are really high, almost parralel with the ground
The seat is really hard and really wide, I'm 6'2" with an inside of 32-33" but the seat seems higher than any proper bike ive ever owned (even my GSXR 600 K3 and 929 Blade)
That exhaust is really long, and makes the rear end very bulky, i have to think about this when filtering and squeezing between cars and traffic islands
Fuel consumption is about 120-130miles to a full (to the brim) tank (X-max 250 was about 185-190)
As i said i'm not 100% just yet but it's still early days...
