    I too saw the news about the new X-Max on my Facebook feed. From what I've read, it's built in Indonesia. Good to hear from at least one source that it may make its way to Thailand. By the numbers, it looks to outclass its competitors (e.g. the Forza, Burgman 200 and Sym GTS300i ) - more HP, more torque, less weight, more fuel capacity, bigger tires and brakes.

     

    Personally,  the styling suits me better than the Forza. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yada yada. If anything, the X-Max tries to be a little too sporty/aggresive whereas the Forza is way too bland and bloated. The black-gray and black-white color schemes look pretty sharp, but the brown-black is fugly! 

     

    A big question mark is the price tag. If it's really 240,000 that'll definitely put a damper on my enthusiasm and I doubt many Thais will go for it either. If Yamaha can keep it around 160-190K, similar to the Forza, then they may get more attention. Another question mark is whether Honda will revamp the Forza in 2017 or 2018. If Honda can sharpen up the styling and shuck some of the weight while keeping it at the same price point, I just might go for that instead. 

     

    With the NMax and now the XMax, it seems that Yamaha is working hard to loosen Honda's stranglehold in the premium and superscoot markets. Honda's been quiet so far, but I bet they'll release some updated products in the next year or two to fend off Yamaha's assault. 

     

    if Made in Indonesia, right, the price can be interesting...if less 160 K THB

  2. Last week, i have bought a Yamaha Nmax 155cc Abs, the bike is perfect, i m 188 cm. 

     

    i will see during differents trips in thailand if the bike is enough good for me...waiting new models on 2017 like the new scooter Honda ADV 750 cc or new Honda CB500X ?

    Just picked up my new toy. Decided to buy the Winner even though I thought it was a bit small. It's not so bad. I'm having a blast with this thing. Scary fast compared to my crappy old Nouvo. Brings a smile to my face and it's not even broken in yet! 

     

    Price was $2,040 out the door here in Vietnam. Came with an HJC full face helmet which was a nice surprise.
