After a week rental i am impressed with this bike Rented the R version with the factory nitrogen rear shocks and did find the suspension very hard compared to other bikes I am torn between what to buy I wanted the abs model but the rental guy said the abs model is more troublesome than the others and substantially more expensive The remote key doesn't always work how it should etc and they only give you 1 (no spare) and if you lose that it costs a crazy price for a new one, (also the stop start fuel saving thing doesn't always start when the lights go green, you can find loads of complaints about it on the Thai language forums) Standard is well priced and you can upgrade the shocks yourself to whatever you prefer but the colours are a bit less premium looking than the other models Any current users have any recommendations? (I'll probably buy/order one tomorrow )
July 28, 20178 yr Type R is the best in my opinion, looks great, rides well and doesn't have all the unnessary electronic gadgets to go wrong, I enjoy mine.
July 28, 20178 yr I was going to buy the standard model in white I quiet like the look of it but in the end I bought a N-max and I am really impressed with the dual ABS, I paid 58,000 for a 2nd hand one with only 2,800ks on the clock, if I was you buy the standard and add what you need and you could also change the panels to a more sportier look, or maybed just add the go fast stripes
July 28, 20178 yr Why on earth would you remove the centre stand, far too useful.The center stand on my Vespa GTS protects the engine casing when bottoming out on curbs etc. Would have destroyed the casing long ago without it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, lol I don't know how much difference there is between R version and the stock suspension but this one feels good to me... (Yss suspension is 3-4k and ohlins is around 17k) I tested an abs model with the upgraded yss and it didn't feel as good as the rental...

If you own a 125cc or something Test drive one of those, you will be impressed

I still love the look of the Aerox but the N-max is more practical for me right now or until the X-max comes out.

You got a good deal, don't worry about it Bigger wheels have a greater contact patch and the emergency stop testing was very good on the aerox I was going to buy a second hand one but the rental guy said you may as well get a new one if there is only 5k difference.... At least you know it ain't been wrecked/repaired etc

If you own a 125cc or something Test drive one of those, you will be impressed yeah, i agree with you on all points it's really a fun scooter to ride more stable at speeds compared to Mio MXi 125 which i sold prior to having the Aerox, i know the shox ain't a big deal after all, speaking of bkk traffic, i'm sure Manila road traffic is no different than there?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
July 29, 20178 yr Has anyone bothered to do the slow engine break in method? I went the opposite way to see what happens, rode home from the shop at 120, very fun Is the first service due at 1000km? (I haven't collected the manuals or the greenbook yet) On 28/03/2017 at 11:22 AM, DLang said:

Yes, actually they do sell them You can find them on Thai classifieds and I guess the people who sell those bicycle wheels have a stockpile Spare rear suspension too for 1k

If so, that would make the NMax a 100% winner? And if so, why have anyone mentioned this before, I wonder???

(I'll probably buy/order one tomorrow ) The cost for a new remote 1,100 baht. The remote workes well for me each time without any problems. What you've got to remember is not to turn it off and on all the time. Remember once you walk away from the bike the bike will lock automatically and once you approach the bike it will unlock automatically you do not have to keep on using the remote to turn it off and on all you need to do is to have the remote in your pocket and that's it it's that simple. What you've been doing is turning the remote on and off each time when you got off the bike where you don't need to just keep it in your pocket and on at all times. The bike will Sense the remote once you're near it and once you walk away from it. It will automatically lock and unlock the bike... does that make any sense to you.
