BIKES: Yamaha X-Max 250 - The Perfect Scooter?

Keyless GO! Just returned the new Yamaha X-Max after a week and I'm already missing it. At around RM20k it's really the perfect all-rounder for daily-commuting or the occasional long-distance #scootouring ride! I wonder if HYLM takes trade-ins....

    WaMoSha Z that's interesting to know, cos I heard the same about the Yamaha Nmax as well... could be either the demand is too high, or HYLM didn't expect the demand to be so great, and didn't allocate enough units to their dealers. A friend of mine had to pay a premium to get his Nmax faster instead of waiting 6mts 🤨

  • @ChrisWeevilGarage

    5 жыл бұрын

    I have no complaints about the PCX except for 2 things; as far as a scooter is concerned it's very accomplished; well-made, nicely put together, stylish (subjective) and smooth.... as u mentioned however, it is quite pricey (which is why the Yamaha N-Max is doing so well) and for me, it's 'physically' too small. I reckon it's ideal for anyone 5'3" to 5'8" max. in height, which is why this X-Max suited me so well. Thanks for watching! :)
