You know I'll ask about underseat storage, but honestly the bigger surprise is that they packed in VVA and a downshift function. Switchable riding modes on a 155cc scooter feels like a genuinely practical touch once you think about what works on Asian roads.

Good for both commuting and sporty riding sounds ideal

Wondering if the downshift function is easy for beginners too

132kg at 15hp is on the lighter side for the class

481,800 yen seems fair for this equipment level

Yamaha's serious putting VVA on a 155cc

The PCX still has better storage capacity though, depends on use
