Previously compared the Zuma to the Honda Trail 125. In this video I show what I consider the advantages of the Zuma over the Honda highlighting only the Zuma. Take it on a ride thru the farmlands of south central PA.

    Great video! Just bought a brand new 2023 Zuma 125. I live in rural Minnesota, so 90% all off-road riding.

    That was one one of the more enjoyable Zuma videos I have watched, very informative with real world use. The only drawback of this scooter is the braking, I feel a scooter should prepare a rider for riding motorcycles, but other than that it's a great little machine. Thanks for posting this.
  • I have a 2021 Zuma 125. I love it! I have 2,300 miles on it already. I am in Pa. and bought it new out the door for $4,850. Insurance full coverage is only $90 a year!

    Great video, thank you! The countryside reminds me of the Finger lakes in NYS

    I have a 2011 Zuma and you would laugh if you saw me, my wife, 3 labs, an English mastiff and a small trailer going around the neighborhood. Nearly 900 lbs plus the bike. 15k miles and still going strong 😊

    I replaced the passenger foot pegs on my 22 BWs 125 Zuma with kuryaken dropdown foot peg extenders to loer my COG, easily lift myself off the seat while going over bumps and give it more of a motorcycle feel of a configuration. Also shaved off the pillion risecin the seat and put in a gel pad, then recovered it with a fake, black alligator skin for a cooler look and texture. Absolutely great in town and country road bike! I put a trunk on back, mainly to stow my helmet and gloves; but I also do most of my shopping on it too. Also have a Supercub that I traded for my previous 2015 Zuma; but the Zuma automatic is more convenient in town with all the traffic lights.

    Great review , so glad I got out of the cold of the north . Moved to Bradenton Florida never looked back , something to be said for not having to put up your scoot for 6 to 7 months out of the year !

    I just got the 2023 model, matte black just like this one. Still breaking in so having to baby it for a while. The 23 model is my 4th Zuma. They are super reliable, very quick and last forever if you change your fluids often. Love the Yamaha Zuma 125cc

    Thanks for doing this video series. Im also a PA resident, Cambria County so a little north west of where you're at, but very familiar with your area. I've been thinking about one of these and some other scooters for a while. We had a Honda ADV 150 when they came out and although I liked it there were some things that didnt impress me for the cost, especially the seat. I've been considering the Zuma vs the slightly larger displacement Piaggio Liberty 150, which also has larger wheels. I did take the ADV on dirt/gravel roads so thats why the Zuma appealed to me, but I was a little concerned about how much power it had, being a 125.
  • Love the review. Picked up a cheap zuma 50 2 stroke a few months ago. I have a couple motorcycles but the ability to hit the store for a couple bags of groceries makes all the difference. Id rather ride than cage for errands. Its a blast. How much does the spare tank hold?
  • @Vorgto
    Can't wait for these new ones to start getting cheap. I've got 3 first gen ones currently.
  • @jgeph2.4
    That’s a beautiful area , I’m in South Jersey and would offer head out that way on back roads and into Maryland and stay over night somewhere and head back the next day to dirty jerzee . That was on a Goldwing . I’m in the market for one of these though and still considering the Navi for my needs
  • @Ifitallfails
    I like your videos on the Zuma... Trying to decide if I'll get a 125 or a 50 for local delivery and your insight is helping me out, Thank you

    I live in Wytheville and Bristol along the I81 corridor in SW Virginia. The farmland are neighborhoods are identical looking. I thought it was interesting. Also I'm seriously considering acquiring a 125cc Zuma. I'm 47 and have never had a motorcycle license.
  • @qrptedmac
    I don’t have one yet (Zuma) but I would think the automatic transmission would be less hassle in cities. The stop and go would be a pain shifting gears up and down. Thx for the vid. And I was thinking of doing a door dash side hustle w/ the Zuma
  • An advantage i likecabout riding in winter, is easier to see around corners and less blind spots without leaves an greenery
  • @nahanng7791
    Just bought a 23 Zuma with some extra add ons for 4400$ out the door. She is fun to ride.
