First  saw one of these this am.

Had to search it.

Prolly nothing really good

nor bad.

I've seen them a few times in showrooms and they appear to be a little bit larger than the usual flat-floor, step-thru motorbikes. May be worth investigating for those that find the Scoopi, Fino, Click-type bikes too small.

I think they just took the GT125, changed the plastic parts so that it looks similar to an NMAX and added keyless and a power socket.

Costs 13-16k more than a GT125, a few thousand for keyless and another few thousand for the style, imho not worth it so i would not buy it ????

The Lexi is water-cooled and has variable-valve actuation.

The GT125 is just an regular air-cooled engine with regular valves.

Lexi comes with a 6 amp battery. GT125 comes with a 3 amp battery.

Plenty of other differences also.

Lexi is not just a dressed up GT125.

I have a GT125 and for the 43K I paid, it is a fine bike, but a bit small.

The GF likes the step through design. It is easier to get on and off when she wears a tight shirt. Looks like it can carry more bags/boxes on the flat floor. I like the bigger wheels than the Filano. The bigger wheels make for a smoother ride when going over pot holes. Smaller wheels will deeper into the holes. The grand filano seems to have bigger under seat storage, maybe big enough for 2 helmets?

So Yamaha has done what Honda did? Take the Nmax 125 engine and put it in a step through. Just as Honda took the old PCX 125 engine and put it into the Click. Add a few bits and bobs and........

I thought the NMAX was a 155cc engine. NMAX also has dual disc brakes, unlike the Lexi.

NMax 155 has what you say but the Nmax 125 is ... well 125. Might not be available in Thailand but it does exist. We now it does in Thailand as the Lexi. Same , same but different in Indonesia.

 

Nmax 155 has the addition of "155" under the Nmax on the side. The 125 has no such number.

Now there is a new XMAX 300 in Thailand, never seen or heard of NMAX 125 in Thailand.

NMax 125 is not sold in Thailand.

why does this look so much better aesthetically than the ugly nmax 155?  why not put the 155 in this body style?

This is the same body style as the 155cc Thai model ????
