I have never owned a scooter, but I know people that do, and have heard many good things about Kymco scooters. Here in Tennessee, USA, we can only get the 350cc and 550cc, not the 400cc. Ride safely, Kaibigan.
Like 125 owner ako. And matagatag talaga 😅 tipong mag ppreno ka sana pero mabibitawan mo yung preno kasi tatalbog ka. Yung modulation ng preno nila is designed na di mag dive yung harap on sudden breaks. Mas malakas talaga likod dapat kasi kung pantay or mas malakas pa. Possible mag endo or mauna ka pa sa bike. Overall for me sanayan lang... Di ko na babaguhin kasi distinct yung characteristic ng bike sa ganun aspect. If kaya i deliver ng aerox/nmax/adv/supra/krv etc yung ganung dynamics edi good for them. Sila sasakyan ko pag gusto ko kapag sporty/chill/touring yung gusto kong ride for the day. Specific bikes for specific purposes ika nga.
hehe same with my GF's Like 150i. matagtag din suspension especially sa rear kaya nag palit kami ng pang PCX 160. best mod since hehe... sa brakes naman mas feel ko yung brakes ng like 150 compare sa xciting.. iniisip ko baka yung ibang xciting is hindi naman ganon ehehe
Nice review boss. Ito napili ko over new Xmax. Mas mahal ng 100k pero in terms of power, comfort, looks, and brand reliability hindi ka matatalo sa Kymco Xciting Regarding sa suspension, yung original suspension matagtag lalo na pag bago pero after say first 1000km, magiging ok na. Pero compared mo sa original suspension ng xmax, mas comfortable ito. Cons lang nito pra sa akin is yung ilaw medyo mahina lalo na sa night ride. Nagpakabit na ako ng aux light to compensate. At yung utility box, hindi kasya yung full face helmet ko na Rpha
Great review, thank you. I really like the Xciting. I cannot decide between the Honda Forza 350 and the Xciting VS. any opinion advice experience please?🙏 thank you.
Forza 350, just like the "offroad" 350 "xciting", are a class below 400. You see one disc forward instead of 2, you see noticeably lesser performance at top speeds, et cetera et cetera. 400 Xciting VS is basically "90% of AK550/TMax for 50% price". It is the best asphalt "traditional scooter frame" maxi in terms of speed/agility/stability/price balance (e.g. engine-with-rear-suspension, as opposed to moto-style engine in the frame of AK, TMax, Forza/XAdv750 e t.c.). There are however 2 caveats to mind. One is easily remedied: the under-seat storage is small. Like, you-won't-fit-a-full-face-helmet small. Thankfully, only the forward half of the seat opens up, so it's trivial to get a soft/semi-rigid rear top bag affixed to the passenger's seat. The second one is built-in, and buying Xciting 400 you sign up for it: abysmal ground clearance. Guess that's the price you pay for the very low center of gravity giving great "sport" character, but let me reiterate: ground clearance is worse than anything I ever rode. Going over sidewalk curb is a problem, half of the time you will touch the bottom. And, ha ha, the radiator fan is placed right at the lowest point behind the front wheel. Slightly over 20k km I already had to change it once. Thankfully, it's just a few hundred bucks. This said, I did brought my Xciting 400S (pre-V version, there's little difference beyond the front design, which I like the old one better anyways) to some off-roading, and because of that very low center of gravity it can do more than you expect, provided you know what you are doing. All in all, I think "90% of AK/TMax for 50% the price" is the best description. For fulltime intra-city sidewalk-hopping you might want to look for something smaller, lighter, and with less anxiety-inducing ground clearance. Similarly, if most of your rides are long range touring, you might consider digging deeper in your pocket for the above-mentioned super-maxis. But if you need one-size-fits-all, on a reasonable budget, I'm hard-pressed to think of a better scooter. I did multiple week-long tour rides, and I go to the supermarket on it. Never feel out of place. With pretty much anything smaller (forza 350, yama x-max 300 e t.c.) long range touring is far less fun. And other 400 I've tried (x-max 400, peugeotGT e t.c.) are noticeably heavier, less agile, and less stable at near top speeds. P.S. Our Chinese friends on AliExpress sell amazing aftermarket model-specific phone center-mount just above the dashboard, and a similarly amazing piece of metal mount to move mirrors from the handlebar to body-fixed position. Both cost spare change and highly recommended.
@@BroOmnipotent thank you very much for your response😊. how about the Honda ADV 350? it has the same engine as the Forza 350. I have to choose between these two. Kymco Xciting VS and Honda ADV 350.. 🙏
@@tlagha8632 As I wrote, this ain't much of a choice, if the price is about the same, you get noticeably "more bike" with Xciting. The only reason to choose Honda's 350 series I can see is if you're really need a couple more cm's of ground clearance. For dubiously legal "sidewalk jumping" in cities. Or live in a suburb with really abysmal roads. Honda's 350's (Forza and ADV) really feel like an effort to capitalize on the well-deserved popularity of 750 line, like "you get the same names but smaller". Not even remotely close. It's fat, engine is noticeably weaker than Xciting's (29 Vs 34 HP is huge, actually), braking and handling at top speeds - incomparable. There's nothing really "offroad" about 350ADV (unlike 750), except the stock tyres. Which you will want to replace with proper asphalt ones right away.
For me Sir, as everyday user ng Xciting s 400i tama lang yung power if need mo ng power pag mag o overtake bibigyan ka nya Sa top speed 160-170kph depende sa direction ng hangin. Don't know pang sa VS if Mas less ba performance nya compare sa S400, euro 5 na kasi ata yan eh😊
Ok po ang review. Yun nga lang di talaga ako fan ng camera 360 kasi di mo maview yung actual na itsura ng motor or daanan. Kasi para sya pabilog lagi. Kaya sana sa mga motorvlogers or travel vlogers wag sana puro 360 kasi nakakahilo minsan sa paningin. Hinest comment din po.
Head room means space. hindi lang yan basta legs lang kundi anything mapaupuan man. check mo po muna vocabulary mo bago ka mag check ng grammar ng iba.
Paps Vinci ganyan mc ko, ung sa fuel lid may need ka lng dukutin jan para hnd bumukas ng kusa umusog lng ung nagla-lock Regarding nman sa tagtag mukhang nasanay na katawan ko sa aerox/nmax haha Bale yan nlng natira sa MCs ko gamit ko pamasok sa ofis at pag bibili pandesal hehe
head room means vertical space in which to stand and sit or move. hindi lang basta sasakyan. dami nyong napansin yung headroom pa, may pa "pasensya" ka pang nalalaman.
For the Fuel LID tulad din Ng ibang motor just put WD40 time to time for smooth play/ bukas. Usual nalalagyan Kasi Ng Sabon kapag hinuhugasan cause ng stock up

Sobrang ganda ng review na 'to. Informative at honest review. Kudos sayo boss! We need more contents like this.
Ask ko na lang din sir kung kaya ba yan para sa 5'6 ang height (65kg)?

Sa suspension, well yun talaga disadvantage ng stiff na suspension; maganda ang handling at cornering, kaso wag mo aasahan sa lubak.

Honda 350 is just a cruiser scooter, everything smooth…Kymco bis sporty scooter … they are not direclty comparators…

Sa top speed 160-170kph depende sa direction ng hangin. Don't know pang sa VS if Mas less ba performance nya compare sa S400, euro 5 na kasi ata yan eh😊
Leg room sir, hindi head room. 🙂

Ok po ang review. Yun nga lang di talaga ako fan ng camera 360 kasi di mo maview yung actual na itsura ng motor or daanan. Kasi para sya pabilog lagi. Kaya sana sa mga motorvlogers or travel vlogers wag sana puro 360 kasi nakakahilo minsan sa paningin. Hinest comment din po.
Boss stop using headroom kasi hindi po yan kotse. U dont need headroom sa motor. Nice review by the way.

Head room means space. hindi lang yan basta legs lang kundi anything mapaupuan man. check mo po muna vocabulary mo bago ka mag check ng grammar ng iba.

Head room ba talaga o leeg room
Paps Vinci ganyan mc ko, ung sa fuel lid may need ka lng dukutin jan para hnd bumukas ng kusa umusog lng ung nagla-lock
