Yamaha Aerox 155cc Launch

[suave]

Hi all!  I am thinking of buying a base model which they told me is B65000, then they said there is tax of B1900 on top of that.  Is that right?  I thought all prices included tax?

That's not tax on the bike it's the 'on the road' package of road tax and compulsory government insurance I would think.

Seems a lot for road tax and insurance.

  My Kawasaki 650 only came to B800 for both.

I thought the price of the base model was 63,900 about 65,000 on the road.

Bangkok price, cost more in Phuket due to shipping they say.

Maybe includes the theft insurance for 2 years, ask them

[macknife]

It costs around 1500B to register the bike, ie get a number plate, green book etc. This, plus base insurance and tax 1900B looks right.

Take a video of the issue, go to the Yamaha Dealer that you bought it from and show them.

 

They should go and collect the bike and fix it.

What price are people paying or being quoted for the R model recently?  I am looking to buy one in Chiang Mai, best price I have seen so far is 67,900B out the door.  Surprisingly that is from the Yamaha dealer in old city, which I thought might have been the most pricey?

Thanks. So looks like 67900 is in the ballpark and I don't need to waste too much time and energy trying to screw them down too much more!

The RRP prices are given at the bottom of Yamaha website in Thailand:

 

https://www.yamaha-motor.co.th/automotive/product.php/type/automatic/title/Yamaha-Aerox-155-2016

 

R version is 66,900 baht, but if I was buying I would buy the Standard version at 63,900..... difference is just wave front disk and rear shock sub-tank... !

Yep life would be grand if everyone could walk in and purchase for RRP.  I have had 3 different prices from 3 different shops in the same city.  It's the on road costs where they seem to try and cream it. 

 

I think slightly better brakes, slightly better shocks, and (for me) better colour choice is well worth the extra 3k.

They might sell it to you at list if you take care of the registration paperwork and insurance yourself.

Well I'm only looking at 1000 baht over RRP, not sure it would be worth it....in fact I'm 100% sure it wouldn't be worth it!!

[papa al]

So what are you whining about? :

"It's the on road costs where they seem to try and cream it"

Whining??  Hardly.  Anyway, I'm off to buy a bike.

[papa al]

Ok, watch out for the creaming.

To save 3000 baht just do a quick read about Wave disk breaks and those extra shock tanks, I doubt they make a huge difference in the performance of a scooter - I just came across an article about Wave disk breaks, mainly used for race track bike performance to avoid overheating during high speed competitions, in fact they eat break pads quicker than normal and have less breaking power at lower temperatures, hardly useful for a scooter around town or even at moderate speeds on the road.

 

I am no expert, I just did a Google search and read a few pages....but I know manufacturers add these extras to grab a few box, so like to check if they worth it.

 

Saying that the reason for going with R version for better colors, or colors that you like, is a good one... !

Your absolutely right but the shocks do make a difference for rebound lot more comfortable.

Has anyone removed that God awful center stand?

 

Was behind one a few days ago is looks like something from a Soviet Era truck. Must weigh about 5kg too. 

 

Is it an easy removal - just a few bolts, or is it connected to the side stand and would need to be cut off?

555. I haven't seen a center stand yet that doesn't look like it was fabricated by a ten year old.

yes. Rego, green book, plates, insurance. 

[speedtripler]

has anyone bought one of these after owning a nouvo sx ?

I dont really need to upgrade but its always tempting lol 

is it lower to the ground because the wheels are 2 inches smaller ?

trying to justify the expense for a "faster" scooter but i have big bikes 

that can go plenty fast but theyre useless in bkk in morning rush hr etc 

[papa al]

Its a lot bigger, harder to shift around in tight parking.

aha thx 

i never really considered that ,from afar it looked about the same size  

i dont have any problems with the nouvo sx  doing average 30km a day in gridlock traffic but the aerox looks more fun 

 

is the bigger brakes  . traction and shock absorbtion  etc noticably better with the smaller diameter but wider wheels ?

would there be much differnce in something like an emergency stop for example ?

 

 

[papa al]

ABS could save the day.
