While Yamaha has been selling the NMax 125 in Japan for quite some time, the 2021 iteration gets smartphone connectivity, engine start-stop system, and traction control. The last bit is somewhat a gimmick as you really do not need traction control for a puny 125cc mill that makes only 12PS and 11Nm.
Nevertheless, Yamaha has managed to keep the essence of the maxi-scooter format intact on the NMax 125. It gets a large body, comfy ergos, loads of underseat storage space, and plush ride quality.
Yamaha India seems to be taking things really slow with the NMax 155, in fact, plans for its launch were thwarted long before COVID-19 even came into the picture. Will the Japanese bikemaker build an Indian-ised version of the same, just like it has done with the FZ-X? Would you like to see a NMax 125 with the motor from the Ray ZR125?
