saw the new yamaha nvx on my way to work yesterday. hella fast scooter to be honest, and quite big too.

luckily i am not really into all these modern looking scooters, so i'll pass. will continue riding slow to work with my current kuda besi lol.

This particular model was assembled and released in India before anywhere else. The small issues should be settled prior launching in Malaysia. What do you guys think?

Personally, I think the bike is good for town riding. It's light but with high torque. Maybe suitable as a starter bike?

Price wise is on the higher side. Near to Honda 500cc line like cb500, rebel 500.

However, it comes with full tft display, abs, sleeper clutch. Will it be a good buy?

That is the dyno comparison, in real life .. 2 cylinder is more versatile than 1 single bore.. surely you buy the bike for long distance gateway during weekend too right? unless only strictly urban commuting 100%..

I'm actually has been eyeing this bike for quite some time. With abs, sleeper clutch and tft display, the launched price is expected. Cb500 don't have abs if I'm not mistaken. Furthermore, the difference in CCs is offset by the difference in weight.

Currently I'm riding scooter to work. From subang jaya to kl city centre daily. So, am looking at bike that can easily navigate through the NPE traffic.

Weekend ride is almost out of question at this moment. My weekend are full with kiddo swimming, tae kwan do, music class. Maybe after a year or two, am finally able to join the weekend ride.

Should I take the plunge?
