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?

MINIMIGLIA Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobFord Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

speedtripler Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 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'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.

Remember these guys a disc brake does not work too good in the wet that's why the drum brake is handy for the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
