What a great rig! Really well resolved product for the intended purpose. Quite glad you reviewed this. Would easily take an NMax instead of the car or my Speed Triple for running around town.
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.
Excellent review. Informative and well presented.
I do long distance rides on my Nmax 155. It's a great bike.
Gerdien B. I enjoy your European touring videos on UA-cam.
You’ve got to like a reviewer with a sense of humor 😆👍, just the opening line had me hooked 😉.
Glad you enjoyed it
Literally the best review about the bike can u make about the xmax and tmax
When its rain outside, the water can reach in the charging pocket? I don't see any cover to that pocket. Thanks!
Sir , can i ask for the first music you use? What is the tittle?
They're popular in the UK not because of fuel consumption it's because of deliveroo, ubereats, just eat, Stuart riders prefers it for its comfort and power compared to other scooters around....
Not only for delivery lads, it's popular among thieves as well 😁😁😁😁
Nice review, got the 155 as i live in asia, great little bike, id love to ride this little thing around the mountain passes up north of the Uk :)
I live in ireland is it fast around asia?
@@steve00alt70 yes its very fast in asian narrow road. Still Indonesia and thailand has lot performance upgrades for the nmax so we buy it
Please review the honda pcx. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
These are 155 in Thailand. The Aerox 155 has the same engine and is sportier. I use one daily. Great scooter.
150/155 feels soo much faster
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 125cc is for a1 licence (cbt) you can only have a 125 until you pass your test then you can ride what ever cc you like.
Anyone have a kit to move the mirrors out front, like the tmax?
Would love a review on Honda Forza 350
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.
Got knocked off my grom. The insurance company lent me one of these.
Not my type of bike, but it's lovely. I'll be sad to give it back
how tall is the driver?? Thanks
I do have a honda pcx 2017 and I can't believe they still got drum brakes on the rear, and the front brake over heat very easy making the bike impossible to stop .
I'm sure will consider buying one of this new yamaha n max .
Pcx now is a loser for sure compared to the n max . Great video thanks 😊
I got 2018 nmax 155cc abs
Il wait for the new 300
300 is pointless.
I am seriously looking at this one or as you mentioned the PCX,i am 73 and looking at retaking the cbt very soon or when the weather finally warms up, but most of all I am hoping to be able to go out on the scooter and do say 200-mile round trip, is that something this scooter is capable of, without me getting all concerned about overheating, etc,.I certainly will not be tearing around like a lunatic,.but it would be good to have a run out now and then, Rather than just use it to pop to the shops,
The nmax has got a blue core engine which is 40% cooler than conventional engine due to a diasil cylinder . They sell a lot in thailand , philipines , indonesia etc ...
200 mile trip might be stretching it a bit, I'm of a similar age group and I have a Honda pcx 2019, my friend has a Forza 125. We often do 120 mile trips with ease, avoiding uk motorways though
@@gerryattrickbiker Many thanks for that Gerry, that's a big help and i think i will actually go and buy one very soon cheers mate.
@@peterryan7827 Hi, just wanted to add that the pcx will happily sit at 55 all day long, drops of on hills of course, mine will hit 65 easily when required for dual carriageways etc, but we usually stick to A and B roads and enjoy the countryside at 45-50. I'm actually on my second pcx did try an N Max but stll found I preferred the pcx. Been riding bikes for 60 years and the little scoot had given me a new lease of life. Hope one will for you
@@gerryattrickbiker Once again Gerry thanks a lot for all your help in my deciding which bike to get,i think it will be the PCX, but i must confess its quite difficult to decide, once you start your research, on youtube, as we all do these days, there are just so many,I have a brother who keeps telling me to get one of those Chinese import bikes because they are cheap and come in a box to your home and you put it together yourself,I said no way, i want a honda or a very well known brand, Anyway mate thanks a lot, it does help, Stay safer.
Yes the Honda PCX is cheaper but only with a rear brake drum and a retro streering wheel '80s style. Much prettier is the Yamaha steering wheel. I would go for a Yamaha XMax Tech Max.
Just ordered my 2021 155 ABS version. Im 183cm tall. Will it be to small for me?
It Will be small, but not too small, u Will be fine
Fancy👍😎
Full tank for a tenner, those where the days 🥲
*We're
@@JDMz *were 😅
Yamaha as been doing stop start on the aerox model for a few years now.
I was leening towards the pcx 125 but now I want the nmax 125 lol
Change the piston for 155cc kit or more, then it's gonna be a lot more fun to ride
Not forgetting the injector and remapping...
@Lassi Kinnunen 81 because you can't get the 155 in Europe 🥺
@@paulwhat322 will be available in august ‘21 in Europe (at least here in Greece)
@@kostas79 you are lucky. let's see but I won't hold my breath
In my country, Indonesia nmax was have displacement 155cc for stock factory. Almost half of the population bore up close to 190cc
I like it,, nmax 125
Biggest selling in the uk? Not with that huge price for first timer cbt
are they selling nmax 155 in the uk?
No. Only 125. Or get an xmax 300
Sym jet x is another good alternative to nmax. Can you do a review for that ?
Don't waste your time on sym jetx. The alarm is annoying. The eml light has a glitch. The service intervals are 300 miles for 1st service. 911 miles for 2nd service. Oh and the parts are hard to come by. Be waiting almost a month or maybe longer for parts to arrive.
How tall are u, is it ok for tall driver ?
I’m 6ft 4 & I ride the 2019 nmax. It’s perfect compared to the little honda I did my CBT on 😂
45 deg slope for phone- charger box to collect rain! What are the thinking!.
Does anyone know what type of aftermarket exhaust would fit on this? I noticed mine has an oxygen sensor on the exhaust and wasn't sure what exhaust would fit
Arrow
The starter/generator system is nothing new. Suzuki's GT185 had it way back in 1973.
Yes nothing new, Invacar were using that system from 1948.
I prefer the Honda PCX because this just looks too straight and not as fun. I've had a Honda PCX 2015 and planning to get newer one next year.
What is comparison to Honda PCX 150?
@@paulwhat322 how so, I've heard the nmax is faster and has better breaks (2020 models)
@@user-zy5jq3ou7f I have the pcx now. In about 2 weeks I'm going to another city where my brand new nmax is waiting for me. So I will let you know. I do have high hopes.
@@paulwhat322 oh have fun and do let me know!!
@@user-zy5jq3ou7f we'll do. Thanks
@@paulwhat322 Did you get to ride both of them? How do they compare? Is ab ABS on nmax significant feature or for these kind of bikes not so much?
Is it good for delivering all day
It's fine. Just keep up with basic maintenance and the engine will last longer than the scooter itself.
Give the n max some 16 inch tires
I just got this bike it will be with me next week ,I'm going from a 50 cc honda vision 2017 that has top speed of I think 28 miles per hour but it's ment to be 30 and I get cars behind me getting impatient on 30mph roads and on 40 mph roads even more so just wanted something a little faster
Have you got your new scooter ,If so how’s it going ?
@@jasonclarke7422 it's going well thanks , the bike is perfect handles well acceleration is really good not had any problems with the bike at all
@@jasonclarke7422 I noticed your comment on the filtering video about it makes you think about getting a scooter are you considering it
@@matthewwoodward3896 I am considering a scooter, I've always ridden motorbikes but fancy a change, I also like the idea of not having to tighten and oil a chain, the only problem I have is choosing which scooter to buy there are so many good scooters about these days, I like both the nmax and pcx 125 but I also like the Honda SH 300 for that bit of extra power, everytime I think that I have made my mind up I see another UA-cam video and change my mind again.
Basically, has VTEC 😂
Yamaha call it VVA variable valve actuation.
@@joelcustodio9328 it works identical to vtec
This or the Honda PCX?
Depends on what you like. I have both. The pcx is better for storage and cheaper to maintain. The nmax gas better brakes and suspension. But can be expensive for maintenance
Nmax allllllll day long.
Not max
So yamaha copying Honda on the start/stop as on the pcx and forza 125 s 🤔
and what is the problem on that???the start stop patern wasnt founding by honda anyway
7 liters in 200 miles.
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.
it depends dude.the nmax is way good looking than honda sh is.
when u make a new girlfriend the first thing that you mention on her is the beauty :P
@@xdx2653 matter of taste. Nmax looks like a kid's toy next to honda Sh. The Sh is way better quality. I tested both before I purchased the SH. Nmax is a pair with the PCX not the SH.
@@andorszen yes i know but at this video comparing pcx and nmax.u only just talked about sh
and i agree nmax is a toy ,iam not a kid i am 38 years old but i prefer to ride nmax or pcx and feel like a kid :)
Nmax has bigger Ubox (under the seat) than Sh. Yamaha has Start Stop, Smartkey and TCS long time ago. They enclosed in the Asia market. Now it's come to Europe. Not copy at all.
@@ferfilano8601 aham Honda had those things well before yamaha+ 16 inch wheels compare the 13 inch. Don't forget the much better built quility. I test ridden both. Can't even compare. Much better value.
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 !
What about Honda PCX 150?
I agree but it’s amazing in traffic, do u think I should put inverted front forks, I can’t do highway turns 90km as it’s too bouncy, i changed rear forks, power is fine beats most scooters to 60km
@@ilovetorah Replace the rear suspension and change the oil in the front forks with a thicker oil but also lower it a little since it shakes as soon as you go over 100kph depending on the wind.
@@Grateful4Today more like blows around in the wind, is this from the top box,? Should I change to reverse front forks off eBay
I lowered in the air pressure si now I can take turns 10km faster, thanks
Doesn't look so good
Piaggio medley all the way... suspension, storage and bhp...
your welcome.
Aprilia sr gt 125 same engine as medley looks much better i think, but medley looks quality as well. Wot mpg do u get out the Medley? Just thinking about buying the Aprilia so shud be the same a think, also wot top speed u had?
@@beankop1
Not sure exactly what mpg I get but it's 20% better I'd say than my previous honda, Italian green engine technology (iget) probably helps there I guess and the stop start idling mode also assist there like most modern bikes,. A+rating..I would say.
I reached 68 top speed, in my mind it was 110 and felt it, but the Aprilia will be faster all round and is very nice just down on boot size and has no abs like the medley does..✌️, hard choice.
I think its not 125 its 155 cc for yamaha nmax. Theres no 125 nmax.
Some could say the opposite 😁
125 for Europe. 155 for Asia
dude at europe its different.people here dont need 150 cc.and that coz here people are more richer than the asians people.so the 150 cc here is pointless.people buying 125cc for a small bike,after those cc the chaos coming :P
@@nikosnikos9637 that's not the reason. The reason is in Europe for bigger than 125 you need a different license so it would be pointless to step up 30cc
@@nikosnikos9637 i ordered yestrday my 155 model. It Will ne Here im Croatia in 1 month 😀
