Xmax far better looking and a much more versatile machine than the SH.
Storage: Xmax has more
Comfort: Xmax has more
Road presence: Xmax has more
Value: Xmax has more
Weather protection: Xmax has more
Fuel economy: Xmax has more
Cool factor: Xmax has more
The only thing in favour of the SH is the ABS, other than that the Xmax is the clear winner.
Well I'm in agreement, though the SH probably has rather more grunt than the Xmax, and is remarkably economical for such a nippy machine.

The Beverly 350 is apparently faster than the Sh300, has a bit more storage and far better looking. It also has a bit more legromm but not much so is the clear winner here

SH300 +ABS+fuel=zillions to the gallon+fucking fast for a 300 and downright fun with sports bikes away from the lights,,,,,the look on their face's is worth more than anything.

Pity that ABS isn't available on the Xmax in the UK like wot it is in that France.

If you saw who the French ride in Paris, youd see why they need ABS and we dont

Yes, that was the SH300's prime attraction!

Yeah...the Bev 350 has 33bhp compared to 27 for the SH. And better storage and comfort and same price... game over, on the spec anyway.
