A new video, and he's still riding! And he's still scoping bikes to buy! What a guy. P.S. - Dan, been meaning to mention to you about that "Empire ILM helmet" you're wearing from Amazon. Highly recommend you upgrade that thing to say an LS2 Stream II or better. The one you have is modular and only DOT compliant. God-forbid you ever take a dive in that thing it will not do you much good.
The Zuma 125 looks like a perfectly capable city street scoot, but at $3800 MSRP, unless you really wanted a true step through with flat floor board scooter, I think the Honda PCX 160 or ADV 160s are more compelling for really not that much more cash. I suppose if you wanted off road, that thing would be better off roads than a PCX 160, and at that point the ADV 160 does retail for $700 more than this, so maybe in that specific case where cheaper and off-road were your main criteria this makes more sense -- it's just that the extra 30cc on those Hondas is the difference between barely keeping up or being comfortable on a 50mph speed limit "surface" road (that traffic will go 60mph on). It also is the difference between not even being freeway legal, and being able to carefully get on a highway in a pinch (not that I think you really want to be on a freeway on a PCX or ADV 160 very often or for very far, but it CAN do it in a pinch, and the Zuma couldn't). Then again, if all you are doing is local errands, and a 40mph surface road is the biggest thing you get on, then I guess this will do that easily. I mean, I do get it -- I have an electric scooter that is roughly the same as this Zuma specifically for the under 10 mile local roads use case, but I got it as a second scooter that didn't burn gas specifically for that purpose to save fuel, emissions and wear on my other bike (an XMax 300). I suppose at 110mpg, this would do two of those three. In any case, thanks for the video. The Zuma looks fun, even if it wouldn't make my personal list of finalists.
You missed a few points there’s a bag hook/ holder between your legs and a flat floor easy to carry a 18 pack of beer actually it’ll go 63 mph and gets about 120 mpg.
I've got the adv160 and it's pretty peppy around town and it will easily handle 55mph roads with a little extra if you want 60 mph no problem. I put a Puig windshield on because I wanted more wind protection and I use a gel seat cushion and it's way more comfortable for me. Enjoy your new bike.
Esta moto si es una moto que quiero para peru

Never going to stop fighting. I appreciate the heads up on the helmet
I hope you are enjoying the Zuma, She's a nice one. Thanks for the great review. 👍
It was definitely fun to test ride
I seen a used honda adv160 at my local honda dealer. I want one really badly. Nice review on the zuma
You’ll have that 160 someday hopefully soon
It's the best scooter in the market. So rugged!
Nice ride brother 👌 can you get foot pegs for this like you can on a honda ruckus

Great insightful comment

Thanks for your insight
Which do feel is better the zuma 125 or the Honda adv 160 ?
I've got the adv160 and it's pretty peppy around town and it will easily handle 55mph roads with a little extra if you want 60 mph no problem. I put a Puig windshield on because I wanted more wind protection and I use a gel seat cushion and it's way more comfortable for me. Enjoy your new bike.
Thanks for the great review. I hope you're doing ok . 👍
Adv 160
Thanks
Looks more premium than the Ruckus by quite a bit. Then again it's more expensive and it's a Yamaha.
I sat on a zuma 125 once at a dealership, it felt too small for me, but I'm only 5'11" do you think that I just didn't sit in the right position?
Same for me too
No offense dan but that scooter looks horrible and the tires look silly. They look like a.t.v. tires. 👎
