"I sat on one and drove it had no problems over 6 foot tall. It’s a great bike ! I highly recommend it for anyone!" == What about short guy? What the seat height? My inseam is 27"-28".
I'm 6'1" and didn't even realize size was an issue, I even rode with a 6'4" passenger on it. Also fyi, your lower leg height is all that matters which is about 1/4 of your height, therefore your knee at 5'11" would only be 2inch closer to the bars than a person who is 5'3" which is a child's height...get over your average height.
I bought this scooter it now has 1700 miles on it. I live in Hagerstown cruising on 40 isn’t a problem 57 mph- 65 and I have jumped on 15 in Frederick to Thurmont keeping up with traffic wasn’t a problem. MPG was about 85 at 1st after the 600 mile oil change it’s been 105 miles. Holds everything I need for a day hike on the trails, when the Zuma is out I’m on an adventure 😅
I bought a 2022 Zuma 125 (BWS 125 here in Canada) as my first intro to scooters after 40 years of riding various bikes and I absolutely loved zipping around town on that thing. Fun and very practical for city riding, however I needed something that could take me down the highway, so after owning a Honda PCX150 for a year, I've settled on a 2016 Honda Forza 300...still not quite checking all the boxes, but until Yamaha offers colours other than 'Henry Ford Black' on the Xmax 300, it's Honda with it's azz backward horn and turn indicator arrangement for me.
Fun video man. I contemplated getting the Zuma before I bought my Super Cub. Think knows, maybe I'll add one to the stable one day. Thanks for sharing.
I've been looking more towards the new Yamaha XMax 300/vespa 300 HPE or the BMW 300GT. If Honda would drop the ADV350 in America, I would but the Honda in a heartbeat. I'm enjoying your videos dude. I'm looking forward to bigger scoot vids.
Yea iam torn between this and the adv 160, I know gas works iso has the 150 adv ,iam a subscriber of yours, Dan here does some really great content on slowrider moto vlog, he definitely deserves more subs!!
Over 6ft barely but I sat on one and my knees were really close to the bars. I’m gonna look at the genuine hooligan. Supposedly better for taller riders.
I watch a lot of your videos on my smart TV but your opinion of being tall doesn't fit the scooter, I'm 6foot 6inches tall and I'm 250lbs. I've had my 125 BWs Yamaha since 2015 and I have no problem with my knees and I've gone 29,000 kilometers on it. My Yamaha is air cooled and I changed the tires to road tires that last longer. I do get good gas mileage and I can go 55 mph. I wish you would stop saying you're too tall when you ride a Honda Ruckus as well.
I think Dan might be a little bias due to fact he always rides a big xmax 300 where you can stretch legs forward, if he were to ride zuma for week or two I doubt he would still feel that way, it's like when you get new pair shoes and new ones feel weird for couple days, just muscle memory kinda, or if you ever roller skated or ice skated, you skate for few hours, then when you get off skates you feel 5 inch shorter than you used to lol😂

It’s definitely a cool little scooter

Hwy bars are such a comfy game changer on these. Love this thing for scooting around town.

Like your Rukus, this is a country road light gravel scooter. In your area, it really has it's place.😊

I just looked at one, but my dealer only had a black one and a tan one in stock. I believe he said about 4,700.00 OTD.
Perfect scooter ❤zuma 125 off-road scooter trip nature

That bike would fit you perfectly especially the all black one.

I bought a 2023 Honda Navi last February over this one. Upgrading to a 2024 Burgman 400 next month & I cannot wait !
Congratulations on the new burgman that will be a big deference.
Nice scooter, good review it'll get me downtown and to the local parks.
Thank you!!
That thing would make a pretty good little camping rig all set up.
I agree 💯

Are you sure that’s 2024 model? The official Yamaha website lists two colors and neither of them are team blue.
Really contemplating between this and adv 160, different aspects of both I like over the other
Keep me updated
In Canada, it comes in a desert tan for 2024, too.
It's Coyote tan , you uncouth peasant !
Only thing I don’t like is the head lights are not the same size anymore like the 2000 zuma
Cant you rock those handle bars forward, to gain a couple of inches?
I’m thinking no
Great Video, how do you like it compared to your Honda Ruckus??
It’s a pretty nice ride. I still love my ruckus
The new look is starting to grow in me. Someday I might replace my ‘13.
It’s definitely pretty tough looking!!
The new look to me is worlds better than old style zuma imo!!
Very nice scooter
😂 I wouldn’t say tough looking! I would say ruggedly cute looking! 😀
Does the dash have backlight?
Yes
Chain or belt?
Belt
@@slowridersmotovlog201 thank you,its very quiet little bike
It would be better to have the fuel tank in the back top like the old one!
You sure this is a 2024? I believe they only come in black or sand color. Not blue.
That’s what the dealership told it was.
@@slowridersmotovlog201 It's definitely not a 2024. This is the 2023 model.
Did he say his height? Missed it if so.
30.1 inches
@@slowridersmotovlog201 sorry, I meant your height (not seat) bc you said it would be good for people shorter than you. Thanks!
@@Lomez07734 I’m 5’10
With the Yamaha Zuma 125 be too big of a bike for me. I’m only 5 feet tall 0 inches.
How much for the zuma?
$3,399
Dealership gonna quote you $5000+
@@itscrossfaded that’s crazy

As a South African, I really despise the name Zuma given to the scooter.
Zippy Zuma!😂

You late ⏰ been had mines added a trunk and windshield

That's actually a 2023 Zuma, in 2024 they're either matte black or grey.
you aren’t too tall… it’s a scooter
2 six pack
I ride this thing on the highway everyday lol
