Yamaha NMAX 125 2023

The NMAX 125 is and remains an uncomplicated scooter that works great - and now looks even snazzier. Just sit on it, ride off and feel good. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble in curves, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The driving performance is okay, the chassis offers sufficient comfort and the braking system seems surprisingly mature. The cargo compartment under the seat cannot compete with the X-Max 125, but it offers a surprising amount of space compared to the direct competition. In the end, the moderate price is also fully justified.

For supersport fans in the A1 class, the Aprilia RS 125 is definitely a hot candidate. Thanks to its high-quality chassis and well thought-out suspension set-up, it appears stable in every situation and rewards with higher cornering speed than the competition. Its looks are reminiscent of its big sister RSV4, because if you overlook the rear tyre, there is a serious risk of confusion! Compared to its V4 sister, however, the RS125 scores with a very comfortable riding position that keeps wrist pain to a minimum in everyday use.

High-revving engine

sporty chassis

stable handling

compact feel

comfortable seating position.

More uncomfortable than equally fast Tuono 125
