Bike is perfectly fine to ride on highway and extremely agile and fun :) MotoJitsu.com/gear
Bike should do 90-95 no problem.
amazing
i am thinking on a scooter too
honda x Adv
can you show twisty roads on scooter?
How did you decide on the C400X, instead of the C650, one of the Burgmans, or the Yamaha XMAX? I’m still evaluating scooters, so any insights are helpful.
@@SoCalLifer c650 was first try of BMW to make a scooter . It´s very heavy and not so good Quality as the 400x here BMW has learned .
Before the 400x I had a c650 after a longer trip on the german Autobahn the rear swing arm was knocked out kompletly ithink to hot
1800 € Repair . If you want somethimg like an c650 buy a bmw Rt 1200 or 1250 thts very much better for Touring .
The suzuki Burgmann is also a Touringscooter too heavy for urban use i think and bad for cornering with his ground clearance
400 x is agil handy and its easy to be fast with it .
Recall in your 1st scooter video I asked if muscle memory was going to be an issue 🤔 It is very odd to change formats like that even going from 5 to 6 back to 6 speed motorcycles.
I was driving scooter till now and this man gave me the confidence to ride a bike and now he is driving scooter😩😭
Ahah ahaha that’s so funny/halarious man...
What an interesting and funny comment to see lolz
do both, motorcycles rule!
How about riding both?
Me too! My wife and I have a pair of Yamaha Majesty 400s, that we love. 2007 and 2009, virtually NO problems, cheap to maintain and insure, do 94mph, paid $2600 for each. I loved riding mine, but after I bought the Africa twin, it seems like a pile of rattling junk, that requires a lot of attention to steer. So I sold mine, the wife still likes hers, but we’re looking at a BMW now.
Perfect! Keep taking more courses and practicing.
My 125cc Lance Cali classic tops out at 60mph, but right now I don't take it past 40. Much respect to those who like to go fast on 2 wheels, but go at a speed that youre comfortable and feel safe and in control. Happy riding everyone!
smart man knowing your limits remember your helmet
@@madhatterentmt6146 yes sir will do!
Mine does 50 on a good day
🎉 Welcome to scooter life! So glad you are loving your scoot. Scooting is SO MUCH FUN, super comfy, and the simplicity of it makes it so you can just enjoy the ride. Thank you, you are bringing some clout to an undervalued 2 wheel segment 🥰
:) yes!
I used to ride bikes all sizes, I now own a Burgman and xmax, bikes are so history I would never even dream of owning one,
Thanks MotoJitsu for the info. At 70 years young, I’m in the slow down and enjoy the scenery mode. A scooter could be in the picture since I can’t fly the F-4 at closure speeds of 1,000 knots intercepting a bogie. Semper Fi.
:) rah
How many MiGs you shoot down?
Woah! That turn near the freeway exit freaked me out lol looking into purchasing a scooter for work commute & this video is pushing me more towards that decision. Great video!
I used to ride them in the mountain areas with tight hairpins and unpaved roads; it was fun without worrying about the clutch and fear of tippig over since the weight is so low. got a lot of slow maneuver training through those times haha.
Haven't been in the twisties yet...won't care much about big sweepers but looking forward to the very tight stuff :)
@@MotoJitsu I'm looking forward to your videos too! Thanks again for all your awesome stuff!
My pleasure :)
I am a new rider who just learnt how to ride a scooter and a motorcycle. It took me 4 months to decide whether I should get a 125cc motorcycle or a scooter. I was going to get a motorcycle but in the end I decided to go with a 125cc scooter. Maybe it's because I'm still learning, I find a 125cc scooter to be really powerful.
keep at it!

I bet this man is on a 500cc bike by now
@@tylerstanley1879 nah i think he on 350cc
I think I saw you going south on the 15 after you bought your scooter. Thought it was you because I saw a leather vest with a motojitsu patch, then looked down and thought, no way thats him on a scooter. Glad you're having a blast on that thing anyways. Lookin forward to your next video!
Maybe so :)
Just subscribed to your channel, such great content. I am on day 11 of my training and have been documenting it. I watch your tutorials.
thanks!
You may not believe it, Ive been looking to get back into riding having sold my 1200GS 3 years ago (a mate was killed by drunk driver) and I sold everything. I wanted to get back into riding and so have watched a few biker videos over the past few weeks. When you showed us the BMW C400X, my local dealer has a BMW C400GT and I fell in love with it and now Im picking it up tomorrow (12 jan '24). Your video, honestly, convinced me. Cant wait.
My wife has a new C400X which will be her first bike once she gets her license. Its easy for her or anyone to ride. I"ve been riding BMWs of all kinds for over 20 years, including some very fast ones. I'm very pleasantly surprised how quick the C400X is, and pulls nicely up steep hills. I didn't test ride it before purchase, but I absolutely love it. Great bike for the money.
Sure is fun!
Good choice man! I just rode my dizzer to San Diego yesterday, definitely not a comfort machine but it was fun!
:)
My wife and I took a stroll outside manila using the expressway...I was a bit excited since it was my first time to travel more than 100km away from home and outside the city traffic. At one point I had reached 180kph...and when I saw it on the speedometer I felt uncomfortable...the second thing I remember was the one you always mentioned on your videos, always ride on the speed we are comfortable with...
Yes but if you're comfortable at 30mph but you're riding on the highway, that's going to you killed. Where you're riding is of course important.
Hi man, strange coincidence here, I bought a forza 300 before you bought this scooter and this video explains exactly why, I got a naked that I take out for a blast and the twisties for pure fun and I thought to buy a scooter that can do motorway speed and it's more comfy than a goldwing and has loads of luggage capacity, in my mind that's the perfect combo, having a bike for a blast and a scooter that you use for touring as not everyone affords a touring motorcycle. Stay safe and keep up the good work!
thanks!
Wait, did you say your Forza is naked?! If so I want to see it!!! That sounds AWESOME. My husband had a naked 650 Burgman for a while and it was pretty cool, but still too bulky for my liking 🤷🏼♀️ I love my Forza 300 but I know my next step up will be a Goldwing DCT. Have you seen the Honda NM4? They're hard to find but I'd like one of those too 😂
@@luckybear57 Lol you read that wrong.
my 50cc easily goes 70. downhill.. full throttle over a long time.. tucked in.. with the wind pushing behind me.. and its kmh.. and its terrifying.
Having fun watching you have fun on the scooter... never had that much fun on mine though.. and just when i was getting the hang of it, i moved to my bike (having more fun now, i must add). But guess what i did when i wanted to break on my bike the first few times... yup... i pulled in the clutch... I gotta learn everything all over again.. sigh...
:)
I’m glad you like your bmw scooter, I am trying to get one but still debating on what to get 150cc or 300cc or more, gonna used it to commute to work.
Re the riding position at 6:06 try riding with your legs on the passenger pegs. Gives a completely different sporty dynamics and is fun. Did that often on my Gilera Nexus 300 years ago
Awesome machine. Thanks! 😀
Could you give us your opinion whether you prefer riding a motocycle or a scooter and also why you would choose one over the other? A video explaining this would be great!
All 13 bikes I've had are motorcycles.
If you haven't already, check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
I've had my C400x for over a year now and it's well capable for motorway use, I've had other scooters and bigger motorcycles and to me, they are all motorcycles, just different types.
Woohhoo Fast Eddie on scoot! I ride a Vespa now haha... Thanks for all the tips. Ride safe always. Someday I'll have the courage to ride a big bike.
you're welcome!
We had a Yamaha Majesty (400cc) for my SO for a while, and yeah, a scooter is a lot of fun. And definitely highway-capable. I'll probably get one when I'm older ;-).
:)
The 300cc and up scooters are basically automatic motorcycles. Those scooters are also heavy enough for freeway riding. I used to have a true 200cc Suzuki Burgman (California) which weighs 365 lbs. It is suitable for freeway riding. I upgraded to the 415 lb Sym Citycom 300i which is great for freeway riding. The weight of a scooter matters a great deal when riding on the freeway. It's not always about the CC's
Your 💯 right not always about speed and cc’s if the scooter is made in design to handle a 50 cc, you will upgrade 100cc that body on the 50 cc is not designed to handle the power of 100 cc it’s not safe to ride
Burgman 200! Great bike. Love that thing. Can’t wait until it warms up again.
The burgman 650 laughs at highways. It is a proper highway scooter.
Looking forward to the belt level maneuver videos. Maybe you will come up with scooter specific add-on skill task?
Na...MotoJitsu drills are enough for any bike :) I posted a clip of me doing White and Black Belt Weave to my Instagram already :)(
Nice video as always...good luck and ride safe.
Thanks, will do!
the fact that the camera is shaky out of looking right and left makes me comfortable, knowing you pay attention to safety
Thanks for the post.. Are you going to change the oil yourself for the first service?
Good stuff you got better roads than we have.
:)
Short version. I ride a Honda FJS (FSC in the US I think) 600 Silverwing. It'll cruise at 80mph all day if I want. Flat out 112mph (done on track). So yeah, it's fine. At the end of August I'm doing a 1500 mile tour.
👍🏼
I want one now lol. My back is killing me just getting around town recently and I only plan for in town commuting for now. Might join the scooter bros.
Do it!
or get an enduro lol
Awesome! Looks like you're having so much fun on your scooter! 👏👏👏
How has fuel efficiency been for you based on your style of riding?
It looks like you're having fun. I'm interested in how effective the windscreen is a highway speeds. Maybe when you get a chance to take it on a trip you could report on that.
You can def feel the wind on the highway but since I ride around at 70 mph...it's not bad at all.
Many people object to feeling wind, but then why are they on a bike/scooter? You're outdoors at 70 mph, you can imagine there could be some wind.
@@gymshoe8862 Wind doesn't bother me; it's buffeting I can't stand.
Fwiw, I have a similar sized Suzuki Burgman 400 & I upgraded the windscreen to the largest Givi brand Touring Screen.
ABSOLUTE Game changer.
If you want to Tour any distance, that is.
I rode East Texas to San Diego - 1650 miles in 4 days, comfortably.
The stock windscreens send the wind right into your helmet, causing fatigue.
The tall Givi puts it far up over your head...
This is great brother seriously, looking for a scooter. Did your Doordash on. I’m hoping to have some thing on the back and obviously I’d like to take a passenger on meaning I have enough room to put either a passenger or a doordash box in the back of me and then also one on my back.
Really jealous of the roads out there - here in London we are in lockdown and the weather is terrible. Looking forward to seeing the C400X on the twisties, I bet it handles them really well
Man...you have to see streets of my country Algeria...😫😫😫...
@@khaledguerfi3477 what's it like at the moment? I'm guessing it is nice and warm!
@@vincents8165 yes it is...the weather is great today.....but the roads are hellish.
Video soon enough :)
Can't wait for that thing on the twisty mountain roads!
Soon!
Thankyou for this video ❤👍
Welcome!
Have you taken this on a dirt road or gravel ? How did it handle ? Would you recommend this for a newbie ?
Yeah 5 yrs ago switched to a similar but less power Yamaha scooter. Its far more practical.. No heat legs in summer.. In Europe we mostly ride scooters city.. 🏙
I wanna visit sometime :)
You’ve got to get on a Honda helix 250cc They do t make them any more.. but fun as hell.. new to your Chanel by the way... love it!!
Thanks Bill :)
Honda Helix, commonly referred to as the "Honda Couch" not to be mistaken for the "Yamaha Couch" (Morphous) 😂
Never ridden a scooter in my life and I've just purchased a 2008 Suzuki SV650 as my first Bike
Had it out 9 times now, only in my neighborhood . I'm such a noobie but my guess will be
that Motojitsu will soon recognize and recommend scooters for all new riders. As the learning curve is massive with a typical motorcycle and having an automatic transmission frees up so much of you're mental resources. AND frankly I wish someone would have recommended this to me.
I recommend riders to get a bike that will fulfill your goals, not limit them. Whatever bike does that is the right bike.
666th like, but hardly the devil, but more like a fan of your videos. I'm eyeing the C 400 GT here in Perth, Australia and I'm really glad you've adopted it. You've helped TKO the myth of being too cool to jump on to a "scoota". But bro, could you help me out if you can please while I'm still learning to ride a manual motorcycle? Does your catalogue of 250+ videos have something to help me learn how to (1) gear shift to negotiate intersections safely, and (2) downshifting in general without the engine screaming back at me? I'm struggling with both. Cheers!
I have videos for just about everything, search through them
@MotoJitsu A little hard to find in the u.s but try finding a Aprilia srv850 or Gilera go800 😊
It's fun & great experience to ride on highway ... it's just you have to be alert & aware of your surroundings.. safety first.. don't do unnecessary & reckless stuff just for your temporary adrenaline thing..
Hello !
Since I have a Honda Forza 300 cc scooter, I'll share one piece of advice : do not overuse the rear brake while reving the motor at slow speed for figures 8... The dry clutch on these machines will overheat fast and won't last long. The rear brake against motor to balance the missing clutch does wonder for really slow stability, but the dry clutch will vanish !
Happy riding !
The C 400 X is a wet clutch.
@@MotoJitsu Sorry man, it's a dry centrifugal clutch, according to BMW specs...
You said, do not overuse the rear brake while reving the motor...using the rear brake on the bike has nothing to do with the clutch...slipping the clutch on a "normal" bike may mess up the clutch if done incorrectly but using the rear brake just uses the rear brake.
@@MotoJitsu Seems you're still lacking knowledge on scooters with a dry centrifugal clutch followed by a continuously varaible transmission... I'll explain : when the revs go up, the automatic clutch by centrifugal force starts to engage, thus it starts turning the first pulley of the variable transmission. But until the motor is high enough in the revs, the clutch isn't fully engaged, thus the friction heating and damaging the clutch.
At a point around and above 20km/h, the clutch will be fully engaged. When you do figure 8 or very slow speed exercise, under 20 km/h, you have no stable traction available, a good trick to gain a very stable controlable traction is to keep the revs around 2500-3000, so that the clutch send traction, and control the lower speed with the rear brake. This allow you a stable 1km/h movement if you wish, but do it 1 min and after you can smell the famous heated metal...
Scooters don't behave like a usual bike with a multidisk in oil clutch that is basically not heating, and you can't control them like you used to control your bike, it's a mechanical reason.
But you're welcome to prove me wrong and show me a slow speed exercise at a steady 4-5 km/h without being jerky with on/off throttle, which will overheat the automatic clutch as well, and without bypassing the jerkiness by rear brake.
I'm sorry, this is just the way those machines works. You're great at control of usual bikes, no doubt about it. But please do a little research on those scooters like your new c400, and mostly all other scooters with continuously variable transmission, and dry centrifugal clutch, and you will understand what I'm trying to explain (english isn't my mother language). And save yourself mechanical troubles.
The Yamaha T-Max is a bit different, they did put a multidisk in oil clutch, same for the Kimco AK 550. I have a doubt about the 650 Burgman, dry clutch or wet, it's a strange beast with a false variable transmission... All 300cc and less scooters that I know about work the way I described, and have the same flaw at low speed.
This is the reason my Honda Forza 300 is annoying me, I live in a town on a hill, like San Francisco if you wish, and since in Switzerland filtering is illegal, in uphill congestion I'm heating my clutch, I know the heated metal smell far too often for my pleasure... My Honda reseller aknowledged that the clutch should usually last 15k miles in a usual flat city as a commuter, but that in this town it may well be done under 7k miles...
Have fun, and my bet is this scooter won't be fun for you for really long. They're practical and interesting as a daily commuter in a dense city, but apart from that they have their own flaws...
@@Greg-zg3vv My Forza 300 is one of my main rides! I love it ❤️I'm super excited excited to see if they will bring the Forza 750 to the states!!! Do you know if you're you getting that model in in Switzerland?
I wanted to ask a question about scuters and passager.
1.Driving with passager on highway high speeds, does the passager stay near you and hugs you, because i dont feel safe when she is back on the seat and holding bars? How do you drive?
2. If passager is is close to you and you do a braking or even a hard braking, is it normal that she puts most of her weight on you? Or should she be dooing something diffrent?
Thank you
Eddie is the dude that's going to show up to a twisty road on a scooter and leave the super sport liter bikes in the dust. Eddie! I want to see a video of you getting your elbow down on that! We know you can do it!
Lol!
That BMW looks fun. I want to check one of those out. All my bikes are sport bikes id like something comfy to roll around on .
Go test ride some :)
I will i got to find a dealership in Maryland. I'm on the coast so it might be a hike but lets do it.
That’s awesome 🥳
:)
Very nice Sir!
Thanks
Damn what model of bmw scooter are you usin? looks stunning

I have no idea what you're referring to.
He’s speaking like CycleCruza.
@@CVsnaredevil - Dry sarcasm 😶
@@kierenmoore3236 I noticed when he said scootahhh in the video too! I totally thought it was a nod to CycleCruza 🤷🏼♀️ It's a catch phase, I catch my self saying scooter like that all the time 😂
Did you sell it? Are you still riding it?
Do you recommend it for beginners instead of a motorcycle?
Didn't even seem to struggle/hi-rev to keep up. 400 cc seems plenty
Does fine :)
Hi MJ,
Just got a Helix but eventually want to move up to the BMW 400. Ever doing a meet up? Would like to talk more about your scooter.
I have a vespa gts 300. Did you try one of those? I just got motorcycle to see which I prefer but the vespa is tons of fun.
I didn't try it
Watch side winds on a very light scooter like a Vespa 250cc. Your BM should be fine with strong side winds depends on the sail area. Yes, I'm a sailor!
Hello, I’m thinking of this scooter for food delivery. I’m stuck between this bmw c400gt vs yamaha xmax 300. Is the bmw a crazy amount more for maintenance cost? Any advice? Thanks!
very nice!... I wonder how it performs on long travel with all the baggage loaded on the bike 😀
Seems like it'd do fine.
It's wild this guy said just to go into a BMW dealership drive every single bike they have just for the fun of it I'm sure the salesman would absolutely love you for this
cant wait about three months to see your next bike.... lol
won't be...my focus is track riding, which I'll be going probably weekly.
@@MotoJitsu lol. We shall see !!!
You should take a trip to Vietnam or Thailand to see scooters at their full potential.
Check out the videos for the Sondors motorcycle coming soon. All electric, 80 miles range, 80 mph top speed, $5000. The seat is very thin so shorter people can get their feet on the ground easier. Taller people can add a thicker seat. Very good styling.
I'll check it out :)
@@MotoJitsu it weighs 200 pounds, so I would want seat foam about 5 inches thick for a 70 mile ride, especially on bumpy roads.
Which model is this?
I would say it all depends on the size of the scooter engine. I have a 169 cc and the max is 68 mph. But if you tuck to get more speed I went 74 mph. And that is full throttle. If you are going to cruise it 55 mph is the top.
How are you doing those swerves on that thing? I thought counter steering but your handles seem perfectly stationary to me. Are you doing those with your body alone?
Same way on any bike...push forward on the handlebar in the direction you want to go. Body alone doesn't so much of anything.
If you haven't already, check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
Can you take it on the track? I'm genuinely curious as to how it would do
You can take any bike to the track and I'll take this to the track and record myself doing it.
Many bikers are worried about small capacity scooters keeping up with traffic. Well, the (now discontinued in Europe) Suzuki Burgman 200cc will easily keep up with highway traffic (75-80 top speed). People get over-concerned about this. Even the Honda Forza 125cc will do 70 mph easily. Both have huge under-seat trunks so no need for a top box or panniers. I did a 3000 mile European trip on my Burgman and it was flawless. I could also spend hours in the saddle and not get tired as scooter seats tend to be way more comfortable than almost all motorcycles.
Would you go on a long highway trip with this ?
Hey what bmw we’re you driving in this video?
I'm 6ft5 and I've had BMW scooters for 10 years. My summer go to!
👍🏼
It all depends on the cc no?
You are a true rider
ok? Whatever that means lol
How much is maintenance cost?
I actually came from a scooter to 500cc as my first motorcycle. This makes me want another scooter again lol
:)
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
nice. whats with all the motorhomes when you turned off the highway ? Is there a beach there ?
Yes this was in Pacific Beach...literally about a mile from the ocean.
Tractor trailers are scary especially driving a 50cc scooter lol
What time of scooter is this
Silly question.... Does it have Cruise control?
This thing passes some ninja 250 motorcycles on the highway.My coworker rides on on 84 west all summer and I cant believe how nimble it looks.Bmw’s make amazing scoots.
It's a 350cc and very well made :)
Personally if it’s not a 200cc or above bike I wouldn’t recommend it. While a 150 or 125cc can keep up, most ppl on the highway drive at least 5-15 mph over the speed limit at least where I’m at so it’s better to be safe…
So at 145 miles this engine is not broken in yet. What method of break in do you use, the manufacturers or the popular faster Hard break in method?
I have a video about how to break in a new engine
MotoJitsu.com for my updated app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
I found a 19 in texas. As u know 19 was the last year of them in the USA. Now for 2022 they have a GT. I dont want the Wright, options, or extra price tag of 8500
ahh ok. Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
Hey MotoJitsu, how is the handling on rough roads and do you get any bothersome heat from the engine? Thanks in advance.
I took this off roading a bit, it performs how you'd think a scooter would...lol and I don't feel any heat at all.
No there is no bothersome heat motor is well coverd but if you want it comes with hand and ass heater
Handling is very well i made a long tour in the Alps with many rough roads and curves ( for example do you no the Stelvio in the italien alps?)
You have the advantage of a linear coming smooth but enough power for beeing fast in small curvy terrain.
The suspension is good but the fork could be better not worth but cheap for the bucks you pay for BMW and it is nessessary to adjust the rear to maximum hight - than you will have fun.😀 - consumption is 3,7 l/ 100 km
I have a 2004 honda silverwing sustains over 100mph up mountain passes loaded with gear and luggage. Hits 114 on the way down. Went 2800 miles in 7 days, never once got passed.
Sounds like your driving recklessly…
Congratulations on your scooter. I believe scooters are a better choice for everyday commuting and overall much easier to ride around town. As of last month I'm a proud owner of an even better scooter Kymco AK550. I only say that because of the price of the BMW C 400x. For almost the same price you could have gotten the AK550. Why did you go with the BMW? Also there are lots of 2019-2020 Burgman 400 (400cc) out there for the same price as the C 400x (which is 350cc kymco engine)?
I don't say that there is something wrong with the C 400x, just saying that there are better choices out there.
thanks

@motojitsu look at ur dead answers bro, u literally take no time to communicate with ur fans
What CC is your scooter
Here in New England, if it's classified as a "Scooter", it is illegal to ride on any highways. I have not even seen one attempt from anyone yet. It is just known here. I actually enjoy riding my bike here on the streets and I will never stop! Just keep the antennae's up and you are good.
Great vid SenSei!
ok. Here it's cc limitations, not what people call it.
@@MotoJitsu Here it's absolutely no mopeds or scooters of any kind on the highways period. Laws are different in different states. I think if a scooter can do 70mph it should be allowed. Not here though...
Some scooters can do 120mph.
@@MotoJitsu This is true, any 650 can 😉
Most states categorize scooters that are highway capable as motorcycles. I think you just misinterpreted the law.
How about emergency braking? On a regular motorcycle you rest your feet on the footpegs and knees on the gas tank, but on a scooter there is no way to rest your knees on the gas tank. Is there a special technique for this type of motorcycle? Or I don't understand something? (:
Just plant your feet into the cubby holes.
what scooter is this?
lol....the clutch and the gear shift reaction due to muscle memory..... had a fair share of those when i took my scooter, the XMAX 300. Only one advice to those who would like to try a scooter...it is not meant to be fast.
Wait you live in san diego? I have some questions. Isn't it illegal to drive a scooter in the highway?
Great bike! Though it would get stolen in my neighborhood.
:)
I love my scooter takes me where i wanna go and technically makes me more a rider than 90% of guys in America with motorcycles lol!
Most would consider scooters as scooters not motorcycles although this is debatable. Could you give us a video on this topic MotoJitsu?
It's 2 wheels, it's a motorcycle.
If you haven't already, check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
01:00 Is that traffic light for your lane? I'm from europe and not used to something like that. As you said 'let's wait for an opening' I think it isn't.
That light is for those wanting to turn left, not right like I did.
Just started riding scooters I love it when my Harleys Done I'm moving to them permanently
