Frankly, we’re not surprised the scooter got an award. We’ve already ridden this on a long road trip—albeit the local-spec 155—and it did nothing but impress. Yamaha has made great improvements with its famed scooter, which includes the new instrument cluster and the YECVT.
The press release reads: “The NMax is positioned as the most user-friendly model in the Max Series, and to take it to its next stage of evolution, “Condensed Elements” was the design theme chosen. While improving onboard comfort and convenience for the rider, the adoption of LED lighting for the front and rear and a new TFT instrument cluster helped achieve a more compact machine size. The NMax 125 Tech Max that received the award is a deluxe version and features a higher quality seat and color scheme compared to the standard model.”
