Suzuki Burgman or Yamaha Xmax

I'm looking at a couple of these over the next few days (all 125cc)

Just wondering what people think is the better bike

Thanks

Not sure about the Xmax but I have the 125cc Burgman and it is a fine bike. Never let me down in the 9 years I have had it although I have not put up too much milage on it. Keeps up with traffic on the M50 when I need it to and is a very comfortable ride. The handbrake is a useful addition on it too as it can be used when stopped at a traffic lights on slight inclines and then released very quickly to get moving.
It is very light on fuel too which is a bonus these days and servicing does not cost an arm and a leg either.
Just my two cents, perhaps someone will be along in a while to offer an opinion on the Xmax.

Thanks for the reply

I'm not really going to be on the M50 that much. The main road I'd be on can get get a bit of a sharp cross wind at a certain part of the road at times. So I'm looking for one that would hold the road better. I'm on a Suzuki AN 125 at moment, so would probably feel it a bit more

Also wondering why of all the bikes of both makes I've looked at online, the xmas is always a few quid more.

Also apart from those 2, is there any other those type bikes that I should consider ?
