I'm here because i saw MotoGP has an updated contract on these scooters. I've never looked at a scooter review because I'm a motorcycle guy. But I'm now considering this as a beach bike. Thank you MotoGP.

At 6´1" this has lots of room to move around and you can really stretch your legs out. It´s crazy for the overall size of this thing. My Xmax 300 feels less spacious even though it is a MUCH bigger bike. The pillion sits like a king but as the rider you feel like a tortured donkey after 90 mins. Test rode the Nmax 155 and it was quick enough but lacked overtaking ability. I they made an Nmax 300 I´d buy it in a heartbeat.

For that price you could get a Honda Sh 125. Technicaly more advanced. 16 inch wheels. Tone of storage. Comes with top box as standard. Nmax on that price just is not good enough . Yamaha copied the tech such us start stop, traction controls, smart key from Honda (who is doing it for the past three years already). TBH shouldn't be more expensive than the PCX. On that price I bought the new SH, makes more sence.

FYI; I've got exactly the same scooter but it's 155 cc. in South east Asia. I wasn't aware that they've made it 125cc in England. I bought it brand new from a Yamaha dealer for much less money than it's sold in England ( Surprise, surprise ) The suspensions are crap, they bottom out and way too bouncy both front and rear, if you get a pothole or any kind of uneven surface it easily destabilizes it due to this, I've replaced the rear shocks of my scooter and reconditioned the front forks. Also, it's quite heavy due to the rear caliper, which I found totally unnecessary since it's not that fast, I can only imagine your 125 cc version of it must be even slower and lacking of power especially if it's ridden with a pillion. As for the front brake, since it's only got one little round disk it over heats and if you ever need to brake forcefully the stirring will turn on you and next thing you know, you're on the floor ! My 155cc. is now fun to ride reaching 70mph on the straight depending on the wind direction. I would never buy a 125cc. version of it in England full stop ! Ignore what this big headed knob has to say about it, save your peanuts !
