The Yamaha Aerox 155 is a ‘maxi-styled’ sports scooter with large wheels, fat tyres, and a 155 cc, liquid-cooled engine. It’s designed for performance, rather than practicality. Is it the best scooter from Yamaha India yet, or does it have the qualities to make it the very best in the scooter segment? We spend some time with the new Yamaha Aerox 155 to get a sense of what it offers. The AF05E engine found in the ’85 – ’87 Aero 50’s carried on after this scooter was discontinued inside the SE50 (Elite S) and the ’88 – ’93 SA50 ( Elite SR/LX) scooter. The Aero 50 was a very important model for Honda, as it marked the beginning of their modern scooter era. This scooter featured plastic body panels, electric start, automatic oil injection, automatic choke and a ‘V-matic’ (CVT) transmission. This initial generation of the Aero 50’s used a similar engine design to the Honda Spree, but the Aero 50 utilized a multi-ratio variator to put the power to the rear wheel, whereas the Spree used an inferior single speed design. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Considering its fuel-efficiency, price, features, and design, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is expected to deliver value to its customers in every way. Anyone looking for a performance-oriented scooter, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is an ideal choice. It is a practical, affordable and everyday scooter. How is the after sales service? The ride quality of Yamaha Aerox 155 is stiff, but certainly not comfortable. The stiffness compliments the bike’s sporty handling. The bike is able to retain its composure in curve roads, and the bike is up for a spirited riding down the twisted roads, somewhat like a motorcycle. Overall, the scooter is stable, well-balanced, both around the corners and in the straight line. The brakes on the bike could have felt better. The adequate stopping power comes from the 130mm rear drum and 230mm front disc brake with ABS. How comfortable is the Yamaha Aerox 155?
Overall, the bike is comfortable. The seat that comes with the Yamaha Aerox 155 is comfortable and wide, but the knee-room looks premium. For people taller than 6 ft, the knee room might feel a little cramped, even though it is not uncomfortable. The pillion seat of the scooter gives the feeling of a motorcycle, positioned higher up, and may take a while before the rider gets used to mounting it. However, the Yamaha Aerox 155 does not feature a grab rail and there is nothing that the pillion rider can hold on to, and this is a point of contention, if the rider intends to ride the scooter two-up much often. How's the tech? Here at Halfords, we’ve got the biggest range of scooters and accessories for everyone. From adults looking to make their morning commute a little more thrilling, to those looking for kids scooters - we’ve got something for everyone. The Aero 50 (NB50) was Honda’s first fully modern 50cc scooter sold in North America, thus completing the vision that started with the Express SR. Honda named this scooter the Aero 50 for the USA and Canadian markets, but elsewhere it received other names like Tact, Melody and Vision. The other motorbikes competing in the same segment as the Yamaha Aerox 155 include Suzuki Burgman Street, Bajaj Avenger Street, Suzuki Burgman Electric, Yamaha Yzf R15 V3, Super Soco Ts Street Hunter, and so on. Verdict (Value for money) Outside North American, Honda sold this scooter under a large number of names included ‘Tact’, ‘Lead 50’, ‘Melody Deluxe’, ‘Vision’ and ‘Vision-X’. In Japan, this scooter was first introduced for the 1980 model year as the Tact and it was revised for 1981 with the neat side panel storage. In the UK, Honda sold several different scooters under the Melody name but it was the ‘New Style Melody Deluxe’ introduced for 1984 that was virtually the same thing as the 1983 – 1985 Aero 50.The performance of the Yamaha Aerox 155 is a strong suit. On the go, no instant surge of power is there from the get-go but once the bike gets moving, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is quite fast. The acceleration of this bike is linear and the rider can reach triple digit speed in no time, without any effort. Under normal city conditions, the scooter has ample power to keep ahead of many other two-wheeled commuters and on the highway, the Yamaha Aerox 155 settles into a steady cruise. Powered by a 155cc, four-valve, single cylinder engine, the Yamaha Aerox 155 features a VVA (Variable Valve Actuation). The bike offers plenty of smooth power across the rev range. The scooter has the capacity to churn out a peak torque of 13.9mm at 6,500rpm, and a maximum power of 14.8bhp at 8,000rpm. How does the Yamaha Aerox 155 ride?
Honda also gave the gauges a full overhaul. Both generations are well laid out but the earlier setup wins the style award. The earlier gauges have a neat vintage look to them (below left) that is reminiscent of Honda’s mopeds, whereas the newer gauges (below right) are well laid out but have a less unique look.
