Yamaha Malaysia may have just introduced the new NVX (which in all honesty, is a fantastic looking bike and superb value for money, click here to read about the NVX), but on the global front, Yamaha has just introduced another awesome looking scooter, the X-Max 400.
It is an update to the previous X-Max 400 with some styling and technical upgrades. In line with the current motorcycling fashion, the headlights offer LED tech and so does the rear.
The front now features new dual-clamp forks with 4.3 inches of travel, a feature mostly found in regular motorcycles, and houses 15-inch wheels with 120/70 sized tyres. The rear now offers twin shocks with 3.6 inches of travel and 13-inch wheels with 150/70 tyres.
As for stopping power, dual front disc brakes with 267mm rotors cover the front, while the rear is handled by a single 267mm rear disc. ABS is offered as standard on the X-Max 400, and it also comes with a parking brake as a standard feature.
The overall weight is down by 5 kilograms, with a new total overall weight of 210kg’s. The seat height is also taller than before and the undersea storage area has also expanded. Yamaha says that it can now fit two full-face helmets. There is also new storage space up front by the leg shields.
The updated Yamaha X-Max 400 also features other goodies like the aforementioned twin LED headlights and LED taillight, an adjustable windscreen, adjustable handlebars and a keyless ignition system, the latter is also offered as standard on the new NVX.
But though the new Yamaha X-Max 400 is a fantastic looking bike with plenty of awesome features, the sad reality is that there is very little to no chance at all of it being offered in Malaysia.
With our licensing structure making it difficult and expensive for regular commuters to obtain the B full license required for bikes above 250cc, Yamaha Malaysia (Hong Leong Yamaha) will find very little reason to offer it in Malaysia if sales is going to be mediocre.
It is for that reason that bike makers like Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda are currently focusing on bikes 250cc and below as there are more people with B2 license rather than B full.

Back in March of 2016, we ran a report that Yamaha had officially ruled out any hope of there ever being a touring version of the MT-10. Back then, our report and those circulating the grapevine said that any chance of there ever being a MT-10 Tracer was quashed when Yamaha introduced an option touring pack that included “a tall Tracer-like windscreen plus luggages, which should complement the MT-10’s standard-equipped electronic cruise control feature.”
Well, tides and markets are constantly changing – and now there are new reports around the net suggesting that a mysterious new trademark has revealed that a Yamaha “Tracer GT” is supposedly on its way to global markets.
Yamaha has never spoken of a “Tracer GT”, so there is a chance that it could be one of two things – a more extensive touring kit for existing Tracer models with panniers and taller screens perhaps?
Or it could just be the highly anticipated MT-10 Tracer? Why not actually? There is already the MT-07 Tracer as well as the MT-09 Tracer (above), so a MT-10 Tracer would fit right in? Right? Well, on the flip side, maybe not.
The MT-10 is based on the manic R1, so putting on a screen and slapping on panniers would in effect, as some online reports suggest, create a R1 Tourer.
But before we completely rule it out, consider for a second that BMW created touring version of the S1000RR superbike and called it the S1000XR and almost immediately the bike was selling better than the RR in some markets. And Ducati almost single-handedly created the Sports Touring segment with the Multistrada 1200S, so there is an established market for it already and Yamaha knows that.
The Japanese company has previously offered a MT-10 Tourer Edition early 2017. The touring MT-10, shown in the photos above and below, featured soft panniers, a pannier frame, touring screen, GPS bracket, hand guards and a comfort seat.
Having already tested the market with the Tourer Edition, it would come as no surprise then should a MT-10 Tracer appear. At this year’s EICMA perhaps?
