Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha NMAX 125 2020

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.

Sufficient draught

low weight

chic look

high-quality workmanship

high step-through

Honda PCX 125 2019

The Honda PCX is a typical Honda scooter: quality and workmanship are right, the design looks modern and the compact scooter gets decent acceleration from a standstill from less than 12 hp. Even the most modern technologies are not neglected: the "Idling Stop" system switches off the engine when the scooter is stationary and saves fuel - very little, but the green idea alone is the right step. Only the unharmonious chassis spoils the ride comfort a little, but the luggage compartment comes up trumps again with practical values by swallowing a full-face helmet. The price of just under 3,000 euros in Germany and just over 3,000 euros in Austria is therefore quite acceptable.

futuristic design

brisk acceleration
