why not nmax?
same engine as nvx
price more cheaper.
bigger fuel tank
comfortable seating position.
digital panel u can change
fork n bearing u can change.
the most important things is the spare parts availability and easy to repair.
if u want to use it that long
xmax is good for long distance, but with higher price n maintenance
i understand that nmax is more practical in all aspects. but i dont like the look of the bike. lol.

Can you elaborate on the digital panel, fork & bearing problems you have seen? I don't recall seeing these, and don't want to read the entire thread again.
My impression of the NVX's reliability from reading up on it, is thats its been super reliable, as Yamaha's usually are.
Basic on your criteria of what type of bike you need, i would think the NVX is the one to go for, plus its by far the best looking sports scooter in the world, in my humble opinion.
some of my friends are having those problem. digital panel is too sensitive, the digits are messed up (fading etc) due to park under the sun. in the fb group, some reported having the same issue eventhough they park indoor.
fork is too soft. this is minor issue that can be solved, but there are some in the group reported that their fork leaked at less than 10k mileage.
there's also reported cases on random vibration and humming (unknown reason) and broken bearing in less than 30k mileage.
these are all minor issues that can be solved, but for a bike of that price, i dont expect to have that kind of problems.
in my circle or friends, one is having issue with the digital panel, the other one with the fork. probably they received a lemon unit, idk.

if you can afford it, go for xmax
im nvx user, use for 30km from home to work and home again...
so far i never encounter any problem
glad to hear that yours have no issues. i guess i'll just gamble and hope for the best. trying my best not to spend on the xmax (servicing cost is almost the same, but monthly payment is a lot higher), but the poison after trying xmax is really effective lol.
