Wow, saw the first intro to the new Aerox 155. Wanted very much to take it on a run through the mall. Did not get specs that mattered, but will do so very soon. Forks and shocks...fat tires with appealing grip...
Got to be good!

Not sure what info you get in the States...but found some performance data today. The design language in the Yamaha Aerox 155 has a clear resemblance with the MT series of motorcycles. Features include a 25 litre storage, LED headlamp and tail lamp, fuel tank lid placed on the central tunnel, mobile charging point, 140 mm and 14 inch rear tyre, and a digital instrumentation. A special Yamaha Aerox 155 R has also been introduced which gets petal disc brake in the front and a gas charged sporty rear suspension. An ABS enabled version is also available which gets a smart key and start/stop system. A smart key system helps the rider to use just 1 key for the scooter, be it for accessing the under seat storage or fuel tank lid. The start/stop system will help in increasing the fuel efficiency. The Yamaha Aerox 155 has a ground clearance of 140 mm and a seat height of 790 mm. The standard version tips the scale at 116 kg, R version at 117 kg, while the ABS trim weighs 118 kg. Powering the Yamaha Aerox is a 155 cc single cylinder, water cooled, SOHC Blue Core engine which produces 15.09 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 14.4 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. The scooter also gets Valve Variable Actuation (VVA) to get optimum power delivery at low, mid as well as high engine rev. The Yamaha Aerox 155 is priced at 63,900 Thai baht ($1875) for the standard version, 66,900 Thai bhat ($1963) for the R variant and 73,900 ($2170) for the ABS model.  |

There are many videos of this bike but are not in English but this one starts out in Tagalog I think but quickly becomes English or mixed. The review is not bad. Top speed about 70 mph. Fuel economy avg. 31 mpg.

If the Blue Core 155cc is the same thing they put in the SMAX that we have in the States, it should be a great little scoot. I was quite surprised when I started researching some top tier scoots a while back to find many reviewers talking about 70MPH speeds and occasional highway use from the 155. I read/watched quite a few because I thought it may be inaccurate at first.

I have said so before...things here come without EPA type governmental controls. So building performance in a fuels economy that has real 95 octane with or without ethanol is not that hard. I can see 70 in that scoot easy. Problem here is that people drive how they want...when they want.
