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.

Both bikes not in the radar for thievery in Malaysia, unless you getting Yamaha NVX.

Parts and accessories NMAX more than PCX in Malaysia, but you can always go cross border to get more choices for PCX.

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.

ADV150.

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

i was considering between Nmax and ADV150 as i got a friend who own a PCX and i don't want the same bike.

ended up with a raider 150, overall its a nice bike. fits my requirement

Same, I decided on PCX (4 years ago) based on comfort and the more premium feel and never regretted it.

How's the 2 PCX? You checked them out?

Yes! A relative offered to buy my PCX because new PCX is no longer being sold. No, I am not selling.
