Yamaha NMAX 125 2021

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.

The new Africa Twin has come exactly as fans expected: Well controllable, unagitated and a wonderful travelling companion. The fact that it also looks extremely good was a pleasant bonus. So there is no reason to fundamentally change the Africa Twin, what was good remains good on the new one - and much has been improved. Thanks to Ride by Wire, you can now also enjoy performance modes on the Africa Twin, and the traction control can be adjusted 7-fold (instead of 3-fold previously) and switched off. The optional DCT is still a big hit and a lot of fun, but it also costs a lot.
