Pros and Cons in comparison

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.
