Yes . . . it's en Francais but it's fun to watch and even if you understand only a little you still get a lot to think about. ;)

I found out the 2019 XMax will be arriving at my local dealership next week. I may take a hop over and check it out.

Since there's no news about the Forza 300 hitting showroom floors here anytime soon if push comes to shove I may pop for the XMax. But I'll take some time to think about it first. I'll need to revisit my experience with the ergonomics, seat comfort, leg positioning, handle bar reach, and effort required for the center stand and to move it around.

I'm going to compare it to the SMax while I'm there also. My experience with the SMax overall was positive when I sat on one last Summer but I chose the Zuma for the flatter seat and versatility to do some off road riding.

This video was from a Yamaha European Press review back in 2017. It shows the backrest accessory along the way which is what I would prefer to a top box. The under seat storage is huge and has that light. It's too bad they don't offer that backrest on the SMax.

Note that the piano player isn't in sync with the music . . . something the video editing department over looked. :roll: o_O :lol:
