Switching from big bikes to small one. Already drive nice 135-ccm Nuovo, 2014.

Would like to get new one. Any recommendations? What is the ideal automatic bike for in-town driving only. 6'6"/90kg.

Thank you. MS>

Bike or scooter?

Scooter: PCX150 or the other 150 that Yammy released a few months ago to compete against.

I like the Yamaha Nouvo elegance 135.

The Honda PCX is bigger and more difficult to park.

People also look like they are steering jetski when riding them.

Always preferred semi autos to the twist and gos but used a Yamaha Mio GSX and wasn't pleasantly surprised, economical, smooth and a wee bit nippy, maybe a bit small for your height but worth a look.

I recently treated myself to a 150 cc Suzuki Raider.

Things I like.

6 gears for flexibility. 1 down 5 up - you can't ride it with flip-flops!

Disc brakes front and rear. (Very imprtant)

Really nippy to get you out of trouble.

Has the feel of a proper motorbike - not just sitting in a chair and steering.

Down side.

No storage capacity at all under the seat. A rear box pretty essential.

I have had a honda click 125i idle stop for some time.

I am happy with that bike,,

Enough power to move 100 + kg and small enough in tight parkings etc.

IMO the nouvo 135, I have a 2010 model

I have tried a PCX 150 which is cumbersome and clumsy compared to the handling of the Nouvo

Each to their own but for handleability, acceleration, nipability and feel there isn't much can beat it on a straight start from the line in Pattaya traffic also it easier to park than a PCX

The neuvo is the natural selection for a Big Bike rider to adapt to and it can accommodate two up without any groaning

Thank you all kindly. MS>

just bought the wife a mio but too small for me. bought myself the yamaha GT 125 bit bigger and what a nice bike . i have 10 years with loads of bikes and this is nearly as good as the 135cc elegance i moved off of.blue core and good power light and quick to drive try one...

Yamaha GT 125. It is very similar to the Honda Click, but in my opinion a better bike.
