A SCOOTER WITH SPORT!
2018 Yamaha SMAX Review on Total Motorcycle:
The best way to start your sport scooter adventure, 155cc engine, auto transmission, light, sporty handling and under seat storage.
The SMAX sport scooter features a 155cc engine, auto transmission and sporty handling.
The SMAX scooter is a surprising little performer. It is both fun and easy to ride and can carry a passenger too. Its sporty design begins to hint at its full capabilities. Whether zipping around town or hitting the open road, the 155cc single cylinder SMAX can easily keep up with traffic. And it is virtually vibration free with lots of wind and weather protection too. If you are looking for fun, affordable transportation the fully automatic SMAX is waiting to impress you too.
///Performance
155cc, 4-valve, fuel injected single with a catalyzer equipped exhaust system provides very peppy performance. Even as the 9,500 rpm redline approaches on the centrally located tachometer, the engine remains quiet and virtually vibration free. It is a great “all round” commuter bike that can be ridden at 100 km /hr. comfortably.
///The Extras
Hidden under the comfortable 2 person seat is a large 32 litre storage area capable of holding an open face or half helmet plus a rain suit and a laptop computer. Front & rear disc brakes provide solid stopping power while the bright halogen headlight surrounded by LED position lights and brilliant LED tail light add extra visibility in traffic.
