momento beach pattaya have 1 xmax 300 for rent theprasit road

Great thanks.... 

Does anyone living in Pattaya know of a scooter rental company who have an Xmax in stock cause I really want to live with one for a few days before I commit?

Went into Yamaha dealer Pattaya Watchara/Yamaha Sukhumv. op. Thepprasit R. junction to ask about the availability of the Xmax 300 and was shocked to be told it would take 5 months waiting time.

5000 baht deposit was required to be put on the order list. 

I left it and will continue to look around Pattaya.

First time I had been in the new showroom and it looked good with some very nice bikes in there.

Does anyone know of any rental companies in Pattaya with a XMax 300? because I definitely want to try before I buy.

I saw a blue Aerox 155 at Lotus today.  Then I went down to Watchara Marine to see if my Green Book has arrived for my Nmax.  THey had a number of Nmaxes and Aeroxes there.  Talked to my salesman.  I already know the Aerox only has a 4.6 liter fuel tank while my Nmax has a 6.6 liter tank so in my book this is a huge disadvantage for the Aerox.  The Nmax also has superior brakes with disk brakes on both the front and rear and ABS standard.  But my salesman also assessed my height, had me get on the Aerox as he pointed out that the Nmax is much more comfortable for a guy as tall as me, and he was right.  The seating position on the Aerox is cramped (I am five foot eleven)

 

On the way back to my condo driving down Sukamvit I was hitting 90 kph.  The Nmax is dead steady at this speed.  It will not be long before I will do a real test, pitting my Nmax 155 against my gf's PCX 150.  And I will use a real stopwatch so I am going to get real comparative times.  But so far my assessment of the Nmax vs the PCX is....Advantage to the PCX--smoother ride especially over speed bumps.  Quieter.  Smoother performance at very low speeds.  Larger fuel tank---8 liters vs 6.6 for the Nmax. Advantage to the Nmax....steering is much more precise and direct.  Braking is absolutely first rate and superior to the PCX.  Acceleration is noticeably better although we will see when I stopwatch both bikes.  Engine is not as quiet. It's got a bit of a snarl to it, which is both an advantage and disadvantage depending on how you view this.  

 

So far it's a case of "each to his own". Both are great bikes.  As for the 13 inch tires of the Nmax.  I feel that this whole bike was engineered from the ground up around those 13 inch wheels.  The bike seems structurally very sound.  So far I feel that a 12 to 14 inch tire in a Filano, Fino, etc is not the epitome of stability by any means.  But these bikes are scooters, not underbones.  THere's no reinforcing struts above the floorboard area. This is not the case with the Nmax which seems to have a steel cage of support braces that provides this bike with a very stable structure.  Just look at some of the You tube Videos from Yamaha that show this inner structure and you will see what I mean. 

Hello Jack, were you able to get a test ride of the Aerox at the Yamaha dealer?

i want to ride one  before I make up my mind on changing my Nmax for one.

ive been looking at the Pattaya rental companies but I haven't found a company that stocks the Aerox yet.

do you know of any rental company who have an Aerox to rent?

thanks

Finally, got to test AeroX for size...more cramped seating position than NMAX and if you are taller, see if your knee does not hit the left side glove box if you move your legs from a 'V' to ' I I ".

Also only 1 foot position vs the flat or incline on NMAX and PCX.

 

Only 2 design issues I found on a quick once over. Even a Scoopy/Click have more leg space.

 

I'll pass !

 

 

Went and checked the aerox out and I love the styling and looks and the dash, I have to agree that the riding position is cramped compared to my nmax and both my knees hit rhe bodywork I'm 6.1.

Also the handlebars are noticeable narrower than the nmax.

i want to have a test ride or rent one for a day before I make my mind up.

Anyone know of a hire company in Pattaya who stocks these? Or a dealer who do test rides?

I'm planning on sending some used car parts to the UK from Thailand and would like some advice on best way to send parts and any issues problems i might encounter 

Thanks in advance.

I've always wanted a fortuner with a 1uz engine or possibly even a 2jz gte engine so this thread is a great read, I'd also be interested to hear where Don Mega friend had his work done.

Thanks for all of your info, please send details and photos of your car to 

DELETED

as I might be interested

thanks
