Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha NMAX 125 2018

The Yamaha NMAX 125 is a very simple scooter that works great. Just get on and ride. Without much thinking. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble when cornering, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The NMAX also scores full points for looks, making it one of the prettiest 125 scooters.

Honda Forza 125 2015

If it were up to Honda, the new Forza 125 should take the throne of the sporty 125cc luxury scooters from zero to everything. To this end, the technicians have put all their efforts into delivering a very credible and harmonious package: The engine is powerful and agile on the throttle and pushes the Forza 125 to speeds that it can keep up with overland and even on the motorway. The stable chassis meets both luxury and sporting requirements, and the equipment is complete, including the six-way adjustable windshield. The huge luggage compartment is particularly practical, making the Forza 125 a universal talent overall. You can always argue about looks, but the dynamic dress and the cool LED lighting will probably appeal to the majority of potential buyers.

Agile and powerful engine

balanced, stable chassis

automatic start-stop
