DUEL HONDA forza 125 / YAMAHA XMAX 125 ABS

From a purely general point of view, the Xmax 125 retains a certain attraction.Its TMAX reduction side acquired over the various stylistic developments that Yamaha has offered him for many but he does not have the freshness of the forza 125.The pencil stroke of the new Honda is particularly successful.The width of the front side contrasts with the finesse of the rear.For once, we could find him airs of resemblance to the 2008 Tmax, and which would complain about it.

In terms of colors, it's more complicated.As much, the white-blue livery goes well to the forza 125 as much the brown-black cups a little the whole and does not allow to appreciate its tense lines even if it gives it a class side which should be all the rage in defense.For the rest, we are entitled to the eternal range of gray.On the other hand, when we look at the color offer offered by Yamaha for the Xmax 125, we cannot say that it is very cheerful.To the dominant black can be added to the choice of black, matt anthracite gray or white: no color.Not even a little navy blue.We do in the classic.We do in the seller.

If we dwell on the quality of plastics, or finish in general, this is clearly the strong point of Xmax.Yamaha does not laugh at the customer.The textures are pleasant.Paintings do not pass.And everything does not start to brugguebaler once the manufacturer warranty has been completed.It would be known.And on the side of Honda?Same fight, even if the lacquered paintings seem more subject to micro-scratches than the Mates.On the other hand, the protection of silencers and the covers that protect and hide the engine end the forza well.

Difficult to decide between them on their appearance even if the visual signature of the Full LED day lights of the Honda would tend to tip the scales on its side.
