NMax 155 turbo

[Badrabbit]

Anyone else seen this, I have a 2015 NMax it's great, thinking about getting but I do not like Yamaha as a dealer, 2025 NMax does look good.

I own a 2020 NMax and like it too....watched some video about the "turbo" which is an new clutch/automatic gear system...would like to test it once launched in TH

Let us know if they're any good over potholes and drains? i.e. can't feel them

I've heard they have used allian technology on the suspension.

Yes they did they use  Mars  Mellows  in with the suspension Oil.  🙏

Try the Honda ADV 160. In my opinion, it is a far better bike. Better performance, braking, suspension, etc.

Hopefully the electric is better then the NMax they selling now , had already 2 x a new stator installed because the plugs were melted. I am going for Honda ADV now

I'm thinking ADV160 as I have the ADV350 which is fantastic.

My NMax is great but I do not like Yamaha dealers at all so it will be ADV160.

Do you have any sense of comparison between the ADV 350 and the Honda Forza 350? I have the latter, and I like it very much, but I love the design of the ADV 350 and have been quite curious about it.

Do you feel the bumps, drains and potholes with your Forza 350? or is it like gliding on a cloud?

If you want to deal, in comfort, with bumps, drains, potholes etc. choose this kind of bike:

 

 Honda TH CRF300L from THB156.000

It is like gliding on a cloud, with the stock suspension. I did replace the cheap stock tires with Pirelli Angel tires, and that made quite a difference in terms of traction, but the bike is incredibly comfortable and the seat is ridiculous. It's almost like a living room couch!

I had  good test ride of these and eventually went for Forza 350.

 

Cons or me; ADV 350 has a wider, higher handlebar, taller seat, and smaller area seat, all slightly in comparison with Forza but still... 

 

On the other hand Forza has electric windshield which I didn't think of it much, but after using it on highway and in town I realised how handy this is...! 😎

 

ADV has digital screen, for me I prefer those analog dials, sorry, old fashion... 🤗

 

Yes ADV has better forks and shocks but on asphalt didn't make much difference to me, I never go off road, and I always avoid potholes...! 😜

 

Test drive for a good day or two, rent them, then buy what you like... 

 

BTW, my friend has ADV and we ride and race a lot, acceleration and top speed all identical..., and I'm +5kg on him after lunch... 😅
