Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS vs Yamaha NMAX 125

The Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (2026) and the Yamaha NMAX 125 (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg; the Yamaha NMAX 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.1 hp and 132 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 91.7 hp/ton versus 58.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is 57% ahead.

In the simulation the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 10.46 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is quicker by 9.87 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 16.9 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS stops 1.0 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 115 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 99 km/h (GPS measurement).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha NMAX 125.
