Yamaha XMAX 400 2017

The Yamaha XMAX 400 was the big surprise of the comparison test. The 395cc engine is brisk, so the 100 km/h limit is quickly cracked. In addition, there is a comfortable seating position with a small backrest and plenty of room for the feet. Unfortunately, the chassis is a bit stiff, which can be felt in the back when you hit a manhole cover. However, as soon as it goes out on the country road, the XMAX works perfectly, which means that long distances should not be a problem.

BMW has certainly arrived well in the mid-size scooter segment with the C400X. Thanks to the competitive performance, the propulsion is completely satisfactory and, in combination with the sporty chassis, even gives rise to real riding pleasure. In addition, the scooter can be equipped to a very high standard (for an additional charge) and can almost be raised to motorbike level. Unfortunately, the sporty tuning of the suspension struts is not much fun on bad roads, and the front brake does not do justice to the scooter's character.

Good traction

clean response

sporty chassis

high-quality equipment possible

LED lighting technology

storage compartment variable

Suspension struts too hard on bad roads

front brake could have more bite

expensive accessories
