I went through this route before thinking of getting used scooters as my first bike, happened to shortlist the same 2 you mentioned here, NMAX and PCX.

Yamaha bikes gave me the fear of them been heavily modded. Cosmetic mod is ok, mechanical mod is the one I am afraid of, unless you know the exact mod put in and able to maintain them after.
Another fear I have is theft rates on Yamaha bikes.

However, selling away an NMAX is much easier than PCX.

TPS problem with PCX is a cheap and easy fix if it ever occur. Most likely it won't occur if you buy used 'cos the owner might have replaced the TPS. It was never a concern for me.

PCX no worry about theft. Not fast bike, not much mods to satisfy those kaki modder. 😬

In the end is what suits you lah.

Both are equally good. If you want easy disposal after roughing it out, go for Nmax. If you want low key and fuel saving, PCX.

Scooter is always santai and most comfortable.
No engine vibration problem.
Twist and go.

CVT mod is the most common on these scooters to "go faster".
Premature CVT belt snapping is the common result of such mod.
It's a no-no for me.

Upgrade engine cc is another mod.

Bike theft, even in condo, if they want to nick your bike, they just come in hailat or panel van, lift the bike in and off they go.

PCX was my final pick too...

but changed my mind after that, and gone for a new scooter as my 1st ride

😬

ADV150.

Love it to bits!

Someone opened a thread here cow father cow mother about it. hahahah.

Oh no.. sorry to hear that.. fail at the titi again?

Go and practice more. That's what I did.

PS Samy let me go back with unlimited practice. I usually go back in the afternoon, take a big bike and start practice non-stop.

Looks like you need more practical.
Take some time and go back practice, keep doing it until you are comfortable with it for the exam.

Riding needs muscle memory for quick reaction, not much time to think.
So go practice more to train the muscle memory.
