First I like the video than I watch! Literally the best bikes reviews ever man! thank you so much for the effort and the good content!! I love the AK550 always wanted you to test one, I had an 2018 one and it was amazing. Looking forward a long trip want to hear about the handling! i think it handle insane for a scooter! ❤

Both the mid mounted engine scooters I have ridden (TL and AK) handle superbly, it's just the dinamics of having all the weight in the frame in the middle. Full review coming up on Sunday and then the road trip because I have a lot of footage from the road trip to go through and that takes time 😂

Enjoy all your videos. Well done!

Same as me and I already upgraded to premium. It’s 2 levels up for sure

My guess before seen the bike... DTX 360 ... Been thinking about the bike and locally have one for sale on 1k km 1 year old for 4.5k € Another way of transmitting the mechanical power from the transmission to the real wheel is with endless line of gear wheels .. Burgman 650 was that way, the BMW C650 engine was with chain but it was enclosed and in oil bath. The T-max is with belt, like the AK 550. Interesting but the Silver Wing 600 Honda was with normal CVT setup. The old Kymco Myroad 700 too.

If I get my hand on it I will for sure.

I see what you mean by it being a 2 cylinder engine compared to a single cylinder engine on a scooter. I rode a Suzuki Burgman 650 with the twin cylinder engine which was smooth compared to my single cylinder engine Burgman 400.

Looking forward to all the content about AK500. Really curious how it compares to the Maxsym 508TL.

It's hard to compare them because of the price difference but both have their strong points

@filipovic103

Ай бұрын

@@RideWithAlex Right, from my perspective as a buyer and owner of a TL the price difference makes sense because of added functionality, where the AK is loaded with Cruise Control, Drive Modes, Connectivity with the central display, Electric windshield control. While the TL doesn’t have any of that hence the lower price. But from my point of view those scooters are “built” the same meaning the fuel tank is in the same place, the seating should be similar, performance on paper is similar and that’s also what I’m curious about how does the driving dynamic compare? :D

Hello Alex! Well well well...another brand. I'm quite happy to see you try another branded scoot for more than just 30-40 mins. This was a great first impressions review, but the audio quality lacked your other recent videos quality sadly. Please try to fix it, because this machine makes a great noise.😊 I just can't wait to show us this scooter detailed around, it seems interesting. I wonder how much storage space has it got, and how much practicality do you loose (if any) for this extra power. The dashboard seems a little bit crowded with all those gadgets and screens.🤔 I'm glad that your other videos doesn't contain a scoot with this drizzling screen...my eyes went insane after a while watching you ride.😖😵 Anyway thanks for the mini video. Be bad and make road trips!😊

nice bike, just curious how easy it is to maneuver in the city.. I'm convinced outside is as comfortable as a big bike, maybe more. Is it as easy as the 350 you've got or feels more like the GS you've got at home? But can it be the only bike or is it mostly the weekend getaway bike?

@RideWithAlex

Ай бұрын

Very easily can be your only bike, it's not any more difficult around town then any 300cc scooter. Although it is heavy it caries it's weight very low and is very easy to maneuver. Like I said, it felt just as easy around the city as my E350 or a Cruisym 300

As always with big maxi scooters, is if you can handle the weight slow manouvering or parking. Good points I noticed: audible indicator clicker, cruise control, good windscreen, final drive by drive belt, and CVT. Small, distant mirrors are a negative. I suspect this model is aimed to compete with the Yamaha TMax Techmax, at a much lower price.

@@JohnnyBg2905 Really? Perhaps, in your country, the number of cylinders is related to registration costs. Here is not. Only the capacity, power and vehicle weight would be taken into consideration when it comes to taxes and insurance. Here we basically pay for registration certificate and for registration plates, but the costs are cheap. But if you're so in love with single cylinder bikes, then just wait until Zontes would come on market with its new 500 cc single cylinder scooters. Or should I say vibrators?
