Had a C400X for a week now and I’m really impressed. I bought it in Albury and rode it down to Melbourne on a very wet day, it’s very stable at speeds of around 115 km/h and lots of grunt to get away from lights quickly. I can also carry a pillion with ease. There’s a lack of accessories at the moment as the scooter is newly released. As I’ve often said, these should be a lot more popular in Australia than they are. A 150 bhp+ sports bike is wasted on our roads.

Such a cool little scooter and as you say, plenty of power for open roads and super convenient in the city and suburbs. Good to hear about the pilliopn, we didn't get a chance to go two-up on it and see. Jeff.

Nice review, just bought one of these. Surprised that they’re not more popular in Australia’s cities. Beats sitting in a traffic jam.

Thanks - yeah they are a great scooter.

Sir, did you ever do a full review on these? I searched but was unable to find.

Do like these scoots, considering buying one for my daily commute of a round trip of 70 miles, but worried I would miss my motorcycle??

Question: is there anything better about the 400GT versus the 400X other than Looks? Thanks and great review.

No more traffic Jam, Thanks BMW

Confused: so lower screen x is less buffeting than higher grade?? 🙄

Upside down forks??

Not sure about 2 up, but I'm 100kgs and rode down from Albury on mine when I first bought it. They're really stable at 115+ and have enough grunt to accelerate from 110 to 130 to overtake.

this C400x or the Yamaha Xmax 300? 2020 versions...

Think im going to buy a 400x...but yer shame it contributes to chinese economy...
