Will the Yamaha zuma 125 be able to dethrone the Honda pcx150?

I bought a 2020 Yamaha BWS 125 (ZUMA) as my first ever experience with a scooter during the first year of covid, and absolutely loved it. That flat footwell and the quick, nimble handling of those 12 inch wheels was out of this world compared to all of the motorcycles that I have owned...so much fun. Wanting a little bit more speed as well as sustained speed for small hills on back road trips, I bought a low mileage 900kms (550 miles) 2018 PCX150 two years later. The PCX is a great scoot...admittedly it didnèt put a smile on my face quite like the ZUMA though. I too found the handlebar a little too close, so I installed a bar riser that I had left over from my NC750X, raising it and pushing it forward 3/4 inch in each direction and found the position perfect...you should try it. I have since moved up to a Forza 300 so that i can do the bigger highways in comfort, but I can see myself grabbing another ZUMA at some point for the smiles. Be safe and enjoy the ride.

I’ve mostly had Yamaha scooters and they are great scooter. Currently I have an older Yamaha 2009 Zuma 125 and I love it. When I bought with only 1,500 miles the previous owner upgraded to the dial headlight, but kept draining the battery. So now that I changed it back to stick, everything is working as it should. Had a few Hondas also and they’re great also.

Funny i just watched wilcer before clicking your newest zuma video 😅

I own a 2023 Zuma and love it. One correction, I don't believe the Zuma has ABS, though the front and rear brakes are tied. One of the strong points of the Zuma is the flat floor that increases its carrying capacity considerably. Sure, I wish it had a larger engine, but it's economical and the VVA is kinda fun when it kicks in at 6k rpm.

Note: extend your legs on the front flares to ride the Zuma like you’re relaxed sitting with your legs on a futon. Better than a Harley. Mine goes 67 mph and comfortably at 60mph. Over sized knobby rear and original front tire adjust tire pressure and it is one nimble machine. It is a TANK will take abuse like no other. The plastic muffler guard is crap need some custom job there.

I bought my first ride in 1987: a new leftover 1984 Yamaha Riva 180 scooter. paid $1350. - had it till 2001 when I traded it in for $1300. for my first motorcycle, a new Suzuki GZ250.

shout out to Wilcer! considering a Zuma as well

does it feel faster than the elite 110 ? whats your best top speed on the zuma ?

id like for you to compare it to the elite 110 and also do some deliveries on it. I own an elite 110 and looking at getting this zuma also

The Zuma is also air cooled vs. the pcx being water cooled. I’ve had a few smax scooters which are the same basic underpinnings of the updated Zuma. The smax was actually really fast. I saw over 70 on that frequently. I’ve never owned a Zuma.

Does the pcx really hold the throne?

Haha, only 55 km per our? I thought it'd be 90+ at least.

150cc (160) is golden ration scooter

I don’t think they’re ABS.
