Yamaha will launch the Aerox 155 scooter in Japan on August 31 at 481,800 yen including tax. It pairs a 155cc liquid-cooled single with Yamaha's YECVT electronic CVT and traction control, plus a 4.2-inch TFT display. Yamaha positions it as the scooter closest to a supersport motorcycle.

So, how big is the helmet-in storage? With YECVT, the character probably changes between riding modes, having dual modes on a scooter is almost indulgent. 481,800 yen is bold for the 125cc-class, but with TCS standard, I think it's a fair price, playfulness like this matters as electrification spreads.

Honda's PCX won't sit still either, excited to see the competition.

Can you ride this on a regular motorcycle license?

It's in the 125cc class, so a small-displacement or full motorcycle license both work.

Packing this much electronics into a 155cc feels like decent value too.

Having dual-mode YECVT is an idea that already goes beyond typical scooters.

480,000-ish yen feels pretty bold for a 125cc-class scooter.

But with TCS standard too, maybe the price makes sense.
