Hi,

I am thinking to upgrade from 150cc scooter (Vario150) to higher CC and shortlisted between XMax 250 or wait for ADV350(probably launched end of 2023). So, i am requesting some comments or advices.

I'm commuting to work daily... short trip (Ampang-KLCC) city ride ... and imagining to join long ride (to Phuket/Krabi) occasionally or weekend trip for running event nationwide

Take a look at Modenas Elegan EX (250cc). It is a re-badged from Kymco X-town 250i. Kymco makes scooters for Kawasaki (the J300) and some BMWs.

I ride 2018 Honda PCX150 (the keyless version) which has the same engine as your Vario 150. I bought Modenas Elegan EX after also considered WMOTO RT3, Xmax and Forza. The Xmax V2 was not out yet but I knew the new one is coming at that time (but dont know when) so I did not choose the Xmax V1. The Forza waiting time is too long, I did tested the Forza 300 and would be my choice than the 250. The RT3 has reports of problems on the road, requires more trouble shooting than other scooters, a big no no to me.

I managed to test the latest Xmax V2, and I think the Elegan EX is on the sweet spot between price, comfort and performance. It is now my daily ride and my son is riding the PCX150.

The Elegan 250cc was launched in 2017 in Malaysia, and to me that is good to show that it is a reliable engine.
