I traded in/sold my Vespa 300GTS and MP3 500 to purchase a BV400. My garage was crowded, needed to simplify. The Vespa was great in town but unstable on my 60 mile commute to work, The MP3 great for the commute but heavy and bulky in town. I wanted an "All Rounder" I think the BV400 will accomplish this. What really impressed me with the BV 400 was low speed handling and that magnificent clutch. So smooth, no chatter, no surge.
Wet clutch makes smooth start. First question before purchase is: " What are my needs from the wehicle?" When you answer that question, answer is clear. Tumbs up for BV. Safe ride to all of you!

Whether one scooter is better than another is a purely subjective judgement. Personally I love the Beverly 400 although the seat height is indeed a problem if your inside leg is less than 76 cm. I find the seat to be very comfortable on long rides.
Thx for the review! I ve got mine new Beverly 400 S last week. I sold my old Downtown 300 (great scoot). So, these days in Croatia is hard to get any new wehicle. My favourites where Forza 350 (not avaliable), X max 300 and BV 400 S. Power was the main reason (often ride two up and rides out of city)i why i choose BV 400 and wet clutch

@@icanaja8192 Hello, sorry, somehow, your response did not show up. In the meantime I bought a Yamaha XMAX 300 (2021). The other candidate would have been Honda Forza 350. I can highly recommend these two.

Well, that is difficult to say, because these scooters are so different from the design point of view. I would lean toward the Maxsym if only these two were available.
Hello, as I remember correctly, it was causing quite a lot of turbulences, but I don't remember that well anymore. I didn't say anything about it in the video? I am 175 cm and I weigh 80 kg.
Thanks for the review - it’s a robust looking scooter if a bit dated - I genuinely believe that there are better machines out there for similar or even less money 💴
@@DopravniPoradce In Bulgaria the SH 350 is 500 euro cheaper. The Forza 350 about 250 euro cheaper. This one has the design of the SH, so the difference is not insignificant.
@@momchilyordanov8190 It was so in Czechia too but recently they cut the price and they are equal. I'd still prefer Beverly but I'm glad that I hadn't have to pay as much.

A German guy review a Italian scooter in Spain 😁
In english hahaha

And Russian guy watch it in English language in Vietnam.
That's the fact 😂
Don't forget that the Germans and Italians both have been doing business together since 1934

Too bad they did not make the Display more modern. The display looks like a graphing calculator from 1990. good bike though!
Great review. Very thorough and entertaining. Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much!
@@BenalRida cruise control?
@@icanaja8192 Nope!
@@BenalRida ok thanks, but out of all 400cc scooters, what is your favourite one? Just wondering, coz I need a buying guide, again thanks.

Much better than my Suzuki burgman 400 and the burgman had reliability issues

Espero del bv400 sea igual de fiable y cómodo. La pantalla tapa protege bien?
How tall are you? I am 6'1'' and I sit quite comfortably on my Piaggio BV 400.
I am 5'9
Tuning kit to release them horses to 50bhp is required
Thanks for review. Could you tell me which type of glove you wear. I saw "Rev" brand but not sure.
Hello, the gloves are from Rev'it, yes. Rev'it Dirt 3, Black-Red
In Finland the price is 9390€ for standard model and 9490€ for S. So it's quite cheap in Spain.
Thanks for the info and thanks for stopping by!
Why that high ? In France it’s 6500€ total with taxes and registration
F finland
So your saying the maxsym 400 has a better acceleration, which has a higher top speed and what do you think is the better scooter?
Well, that is difficult to say, because these scooters are so different from the design point of view. I would lean toward the Maxsym if only these two were available.
@@BenalRida Danke sehr!!! Gruss aus Kroatien.
Please refer to your height and weight
Do you recommend the windscreen ?
Thnks a lot!!

Fair enough! Thanks for stopping by!
Will you make a Vespa 300?
If I get it for a test ride, yes, of course.
my fuel consuption at 300cc hpe is 4-4.2 at urban driving....so 2.7 to 400cc?? little difficult i think ;)
The Beverly 350 from 2012 takes about 3.7 when driven fast. I think the 400 will take a bit less
Hello Jorge, this was a typo, sorry, it should say 3,7 l/100 km.
My Beverly 400 hpe: 5,5 in the extreme, 4,5-5 usually, 3,5 when driven veeeeery cautiously.
Beverly! Who on earth decided on that name! 🤣
Buttons sucks, also at this price range we expected to have color LCD dash screen!
I'm so glad it hasn't any stupid LCD. I prefer this segmented version greatly. It's absolutely sweet bike to ride.
TFT screens are getting ripped off scooters in London , by thief’s, writing off bike . Need a cage for it.
I think with both Honda Forza 350 and Honda SH 350 being cheaper, this scooter is too expensive, without giving something extra for the price.
Plus seating position not great
In Czechia they are now on par. Beverly is so much more beautiful and the ride is very relaxing. The suspension is quite capable too.

I think I will stay with my beautiful 2019 bv 350 looks way better and classier and that LCD. looks outdated!
The seat ruins this bike. I got one
I wish they would change the name, it’s not cool riding Beverly ,
