Hey Cager. I recently fitted a Polini Speed Clutch to my Xmax 125. Much more fluid at low rev pick up. Much quicker from 50-70kph. Slightly less fuel efficient but marginally. Well worth the cost.
0:30 finally !! yes we need to see what fits under seat . I need a full size helmet space . thank you . I saw more than four videos on the Yamaha 125 xmax and they didn't bother to address this . kudos !! yes a scooter needs to be practical . thank you. that's why I choose a scooter.. to carry my stuff !!
Well done review! Gives me a sense of what its like to ride a 125 and its capabilities ...specially when it comes to power-pov...im quite interested in getting me an CRF250M next year, so if you havent found a bike yet for your next vid, would be nice to see you riding one ;-)
Nice review. Especially for those who are thinking of buying one of these. About the stiffness of the seat, no, it's not your ass but hard suspensions of the bike itself. I also read lots of complaints at forums in Turkey and most users are complaining about the smallest bumps and even the lane lines that they feel perfectly on their asses. I think this is a compromise that great control of the bike brings. However I dunno know whether it might make you hate your bike or not. Thanks again. (Great english btw, respect ;))
Brill, love you reviews so much I have subscribed, I ride a 125 motorbike cruiser but am looking to trade it in for a maxi scooter, at 60 yrs old a motorbike is a bit too much for me now lol xxx
Thanx for all your great reviews Cager !! IF you had the choice, money NOT being a problem, which scooter would you chose, this yamaha xmax 125, or the sym gts 125 ? i also watched your review of the korean sym 125, and you seemed to like it a lot too !! i gotta' thing for this xmax and am thinking to buy one soon.. so my question is this: should i ? xmax or sym gts ?! thanks again in advance, keep up with the good work, and be safe. un saludo desde Malaga.
Hi Cager, Been watching your review videos for a while for 125cc Scooters, and I've only just bought my first bike. I have the older version of this bike 'VP125 X-City'...I think....and if it's anything like this one, I love it :) I very nearly bought a Honda PCX 125 but it would've been a bit smaller for me. I Also looked at buying a Tricity, after watching your review of it, though i couldn't afford one.
Hi Cager, A quick question for you! You have reviewed Sym Gts as well. Which one do you prefer and why? I am considering to buy 250cc of one of them. It should be enough for city commute and some highway as well. What do you think?
1:50 YES .. Yamaha should thank you over the other boneheads . you just sold me this bike. My Honda PCX in California fits my full size helmet and more under seat. But I'm moving to Asia for 2 yrs and they have this bike . now I know what to get there . cargo space is one of the main reasons I choose a scooter over a motorcycle . great job great review. I've taken my PCX from Mexicali to San Diego (110 miles) with a week's luggage several times. I have a back trunk (Honda) filled and I strap a duffel to the passenger seat. and fill the under seat space. Regularly I can put two 2 liter cokes plus cans under seat . and/or groceries in both trunk and under seat , when I go grocery shopping. cause a scooter is faster crossing the US border from Mexicali MX to Calexico USA . I would take my PCX across the border and bring back groceries , I've done that close to a hundred times . Scooter = practicality . you rock ! now I'm gonna watch the rest of video.
It seems to be a good 125 cc, although expensive.It´s is a good bike if someone doesn't have a license and wants to have one 125 cc for a long period...It´s is the same case with the honda varadero 125 cc.
1. Do the things sticking out near speedometer actually protect your hands from the wind? 2. How does the X-Max do against the wind on the highway? 3. What is the suspension like? Does it absorb shocks from potholes well?
There you go, CagerOnTwoWheels. One of your goals for starting an English Vlog has been completed. Your English is getting good enough now. Keep working on it! Love your reviews.
Hi Cager, two years ago I bought the Yamaha NMAX because of your review. Now I am interested to upgrade to the XMAX 125 2018. Could you please test drive it for me and check out what the differences are between the NMAX and the XMAX, also power-wise?? Thanks so much!!!! Try to get the model in red :)
wasn't it little bit sloppy because it was a new bike and it peformance was eletrically limited? All new bikes bhp's are downed for first 5000 kms.. please let me know. I'm strongly considering buying one of these babies..
I bought the Yamaha X Enter 125 18 months ago new. Traded in Honda CBR 125 I had put 69.000km riding. Yamaha XEnter 2.780 € Big 16 inch wheels Flat floor very pleased :) 4Valve ceramic coating Injection and liquid cooled Tmax suspension monocross. I recomend it.
Maybe You are a more experienced rider now, so You have more confidence in turns, thats why You can take corners faster. Or this scooter is good :) You should try a CBF125 to see.
Good review. But who would pay this much for a 125? It's very ugly , very heavy and seat is very high. Just for a few KPH more you are paying a huge premium compared to the NMax. Most EU scooters now are priced and powered to fit with legislation. So rather than offering decent power and safe speeds for freeway traffic, everyone is making over-heavy 125s and creating an artificial price difference between so-called "maxi" scooters and other lighter scooters that are just as good. N Max does almost everything this one does but so much cheaper, and it has ABS too.
well all you have to do is look around for pre-registered deals like i got my TGB X motion 125 for 1500 pounds usually is 2600 pounds same power output as the nmax 9KW. Maybe not quite as good but who cares when i payed 1000 less.
This XMax 125 more expensive than XMax 250 in my country. And NMax price is only 1300 pounds. Need more cheaper, Yamaha have Lexi S ABS also and its maxi scooter.
wow that thing costs a little more than a CB500R in the US, the CB costs $6299 that converted is 6320EU.. for some reason the US site doesn't show that model.
Bmw1000c I know what I did, the EU was supposed to be his Euro price converted to USD and I'm a dork that spazzed.. I did something similar when I was in machining class and used the wrong side of the carb for the measurement for the intakes I was making and tried to make velocity stacks
Oooh. Forget it man. Im "only" 190 cm and most of the 125 cc's are too small for me even. When you"re. 2 meters - Im not sure theres good bike for you at all unfortunatelly.
Man, your "filtering" scares the _hell_ out of me! You said you had ab hour-long test drive?! Does that particular dealer know that you're doing these reviews? Are you personal friends of his?
I agree. Careful and polite filtering is fine. But one day someone WILL open a door as you pass, or move lanes without checking, or you will get trapped by the side of a big truck, or someone will get angry with you. There is no automatic right to flitering, just as when you are walking you do not have an automatic right to barge past everyone on the pavement.
Seriously, 46.000 Euro? Or you just miss saying it? I'm in Indonesia, I've been waiting for this scooter to come out since 2014, I hear its gonna come this year here. Hearing the price you mention, kind of get pessimist about how its gonna price here.
***** +Ads : I think those two you mentioned will have to wait for I don't know how long to appear in Indonesian market. Indonesian have been waiting long for Xmax, we got the Nmax 150, and its kind of booming here. Xmax is gonna be the next big thing, Honda have PCX 150 here, but they're a bit more pricey than Nmax, so not much people ride it.
+Angga D. Baskoro sepertinya utk masalah harga di portugal gak bisa djadikan patokan baku, di video nya cager portugal harga Nmax 125 €200 lebih mahal dari PCX 125 kebalikan dari Indonesia. tapi mungkin akan mendekati ini, dan kalo gak salah Xmax indonesia bakalan 250cc
How many cc?... 125 cc..... Its run good... N max in indonesia... 155 cc its realy nice... Its have lot power... Specially i'm fat.. Still can run .... 125 cc. ???? Its can run good.... ??? Or just some fashion moto bike to look sporty... Ha..ha....
I can't believe they made such an ugly dashboard after the last gen which was perfect (analogue). And a tach is a very welcome addition if you like to mess around with the CVT tuning. EDIT: Dr Pulley sliders would do wonders in this bike for acceleration.
Hey Cager, just bought this bike yesterday I have done about 70 miles yesterday with it and the bike feels awesome...the bumps in the road are not a problem anymore... it is a bit priced up (xmax 125 abs model ) but is worth the money, anyway my question is can this bike be lowered down because is a tall motherfucker!
Hey Cager. I recently fitted a Polini Speed Clutch to my Xmax 125. Much more fluid at low rev pick up. Much quicker from 50-70kph. Slightly less fuel efficient but marginally. Well worth the cost.
Really useful review, thanks! I went and ordered one this morning. Relatively new to bikes, so good to have your advice beforehand!
Finalmente, um motovlogger portugues
Para ser sincero, acho que prefiro o canal ingles, percebo á mesma, é do hábito
Thanks for revieving 125's! recently in my country goverment changed the law so I'll be able to drive 125's with cat B driving licence :)
125 ... putting you in impossible situations!
Gotta love it.
I own a X-MAX 125 and I'm very happy with it. It's a lot of fun for me to drive it.
„There is no free lunch“ 😂 I like the video so much, well done 👍 now I have also a Yamaha X-Max 125 😉
0:30 finally !! yes we need to see what fits under seat . I need a full size helmet space . thank you . I saw more than four videos on the Yamaha 125 xmax and they didn't bother to address this . kudos !! yes a scooter needs to be practical . thank you. that's why I choose a scooter.. to carry my stuff !!
Cool video, I'm saving for one of these scooters at the moment, nice to see a good review!

Hi
You say is hard to reach the ground how tall are you because I want to get one but I’m so short 1.70m only
I love your reviewing style man! I'm hoping to get my first bike within the next year :D
Brill, love you reviews so much I have subscribed, I ride a 125 motorbike cruiser but am looking to trade it in for a maxi scooter, at 60 yrs old a motorbike is a bit too much for me now lol xxx
Thanx for all your great reviews Cager !!
IF you had the choice, money NOT being a problem, which scooter would you chose, this yamaha xmax 125, or the sym gts 125 ?

un saludo desde Malaga.
allways nice to see your video's !
Thanks for the video and for doing it in English
That was a very nice review ! You also drove the pcx ? Was that the new (2014) upgraded version ? Do you have a review of the Honda pcx ? Thx

a cool looking scooter till you drop it, Ive seen one of these dropped on the left side and there is a lot of fragile parts including the engine cover
I sooo looking forward when you'll pit it against Honda Forza 125, once it's available there
Hi Cager,
A quick question for you! You have reviewed Sym Gts as well. Which one do you prefer and why? I am considering to buy 250cc of one of them. It should be enough for city commute and some highway as well. What do you think?
Nossa, gostei do video, estou decidindo entre essa e a 560. Você acha que o motor dessa é suficiente para a cidade? Obrigado
1:50 YES .. Yamaha should thank you over the other boneheads . you just sold me this bike. My Honda PCX in California fits my full size helmet and more under seat.

Tons of storage on that thing!! That's pretty cool

Nice video Cager. i am about to buy a scooter and i am thinking of the N-Max of the Sym GTS 125. Regards from London.
you just convinced me to buy it, thanks man 👍
It seems to be a good 125 cc, although expensive.It´s is a good bike if someone doesn't have a license and wants to have one 125 cc for a long period...It´s is the same case with the honda varadero 125 cc.

Thank you CagerOnTwoWheels for your quick response. You have been very helpful. Keep the reviews coming!! :D
Cager, I have a question! Are you English living at Portugal or Portuguese speaking English? xD
Nice review by the way! \o/
There you go, CagerOnTwoWheels. One of your goals for starting an English Vlog has been completed. Your English is getting good enough now. Keep working on it! Love your reviews.
CagerOnTwoWheels Então é mais fácil falar assim. =D
Curti muito os videos!
Parabéns
CagerOnTwoWheels Speaking very good English. well done xx
Not English, prick
beautiful place, beautiful XMaX, awesome guy..
Hi Cager, two years ago I bought the Yamaha NMAX because of your review. Now I am interested to upgrade to the XMAX 125 2018. Could you please test drive it for me and check out what the differences are between the NMAX and the XMAX, also power-wise?? Thanks so much!!!! Try to get the model in red :)
As you know bikes break in over time and riding. Seats also Break in and get a little better after being ridden for a 1000 miles or so.
Cager, Could you tell pros and cons of this one and pcx for riding on roads for 100km trips? Witch one would you pick for that?
i also have a xmax 400 and it is my favorite.
So informative bro, hope this bike will launch in my country Indonesia, i like to have it......!!!!!,thanks for the review bro....
Jory Augustinus Pribadi and now in indonesia become x max 250.. how are you bro?
Una pregunta. Con este moto(125cc)bastante puedo llegar a la distancia que median de 110km (solo ida) No habrá problema?
wasn't it little bit sloppy because it was a new bike and it peformance was eletrically limited? All new bikes bhp's are downed for first 5000 kms.. please let me know. I'm strongly considering buying one of these babies..
have you done the Tmax on your channel?
Very fun and informative review! Thank you!
Hi Cager this spring is an big promotion on the Yamaha fz800 fazer , if there any chance to review it please I can't find any good reviews on it
I bought the Yamaha X Enter 125 18 months ago new. Traded in Honda CBR 125 I had put 69.000km riding. Yamaha XEnter 2.780 € Big 16 inch wheels Flat floor very pleased :) 4Valve ceramic coating Injection and liquid cooled Tmax suspension monocross. I recomend it.
any recommend any parts to maker higher top speed and styling parts?
You should went to IC19 or A5 for example just to see the diferences Cager.
For the VP channel? It should be better than pcx since its heavier.
Impressive bike, thanks for the review
Can u do a review of the tmax as well? I can relate to your opinions very well as i am not a very experienced rider..
Maybe You are a more experienced rider now, so You have more confidence in turns, thats why You can take corners faster. Or this scooter is good :) You should try a CBF125 to see.
Which one did you like more,Yamaha or Sym?
could you tell me which model and brand are your gloves. Best regards!!
Buena scooter, yo tengo una igual y la verdad es que va genial !!
1:30 almost a crash right infront of cager haha look a silver car pulls out on some one :D
So what about the Neco Alex0ne 125cc? they all look the same Joymax, Alexone etc
AAAAAAA!!! Azulejo tiles!!! That's how Portugal can be easily recognizable!!))
What height are you?
I'm 1m70 is it enough?
is this big enough for 6'5"?
And do you have any recommendations for scooters at 125cc that are good for tall/big people?
I'm 6'4 and I feel very comfortable ;)
Does this uses the same engine like aerox 155 and have vva

Its more worth to buy 300
Which one is good x max or n max i m confusing pls help
This XMax 125 more expensive than XMax 250 in my country. And NMax price is only 1300 pounds. Need more cheaper, Yamaha have Lexi S ABS also and its maxi scooter.
Is there any chance to make a review such bikes like kawasaki 800z, yamaha fz8 or yamaha xj6? Thank you
CagerOnTwoWheels
Thank you
Is it good for two or should I head for another 125 ?
is it comfortable for long rides????
Hi! Is that bike for beginer?

What are those gloves?
wow that thing costs a little more than a CB500R in the US, the CB costs $6299 that converted is 6320EU.. for some reason the US site doesn't show that model.
$6299 ---> 4591€ :)
João Fernandes
I just used the conversion thing online
OtisENGINEuity Impossible, bro. João is correct.
Bmw1000c
I know what I did, the EU was supposed to be his Euro price converted to USD and I'm a dork that spazzed.. I did something similar when I was in machining class and used the wrong side of the carb for the measurement for the intakes I was making and tried to make velocity stacks
could you do a review on daelim S1
Bloody hell!!
What the hell of review is this omg!!
Fun and useful test :)
What are you doing on a motorcycle at all ?
If you want to set the clock - why dont you put on boxing gloves.
This scooter 125 can be comfortable also for very tall guys?? I'm 2 metres tall.
Oooh. Forget it man. Im "only" 190 cm and most of the 125 cc's are too small for me even. When you"re. 2 meters - Im not sure theres good bike for you at all unfortunatelly.
+kagolko what bikes would you suggest, that look good and aren't above 125cc?
No.
Damn i would take a enduro bike lol
cagerina work in mira sintra? :D
Whats the top speed
Cool ! :-D Nice Video

hellmekun Iya mmg pasti ada perbedaan, tp semoga di Indonesia gak sejauh itu lah. Ngarepnya udh lama ni motor soalnya, hehe
Quantos kW e q tem
Honestly, I think that needs to be a 250 for that size..
pls test xmax 300
How many cc?... 125 cc..... Its run good...
N max in indonesia... 155 cc its realy nice... Its have lot power... Specially i'm fat.. Still can run ....

Or just some fashion moto bike to look sporty...
Ha..ha....
Ganda lol,
"Isso não vai mais rápido?"@17:08
Ottimo
I wanted to complain about you going to fast, then I remembered I have a test-video on my channel, where I go 200km/h in an 80 zone :D
OMG 200 in 80 zone, THAT is so cool man you are a really cool guy man
I can't believe they made such an ugly dashboard after the last gen which was perfect (analogue). And a tach is a very welcome addition if you like to mess around with the CVT tuning. EDIT: Dr Pulley sliders would do wonders in this bike for acceleration.
Se estás em Portugal devias falar português. Videos de motas em inglês existem muitos agora em português nem por isso.
did you say "lala"? 4:12
hhhhhhhhhhh.
Hi I like the Sym scooter better.
Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹
Great
Hey Cager, just bought this bike yesterday I have done about 70 miles yesterday with it and the bike feels awesome...the bumps in the road are not a problem anymore... it is a bit priced up (xmax 125 abs model ) but is worth the money, anyway my question is can this bike be lowered down because is a tall motherfucker!
Test Ride
Nah.... crappy Scooter. Any chance you can review a Piaggio Beverly 350 touring?
I think pcx is better and smoother.
Learn something from india dinoblogs how to review it's gonna improve your review
never coming to india ...
Wooow..
