All Duels - Kymco 125 Dink Street Vs Yamaha Xmax 125: does money buy happiness? - Pleasure or reason?

With its Dink Street, Kymco is pulling out all the stops to tackle the star of 125 cc scooters, the Yamaha Xmax. A difficult bet, because the Yamaha bestseller has yet to evolve to be ever more attractive… Trial between city and countryside !

Pleasure or reason ?

Offered at € 3,299, the Dink Street offers full value for its money in the 125 cc scooter department: elegant, comfortable, efficient and well-equipped, the Taiwanese is a very wise choice for motorists tired of traffic jams..

Yamaha side, it will be necessary to have a crush on the sporty little face and the high-end finish of the Xmax to pay € 4,199, or € 900 more than the Kymco. Mathematicians will not fail to calculate the number of kilometers necessary to cancel the price difference, because of the difference in average consumption … Response MNC: 42,000 km with an SP95 at € 1.34 per liter.

Finally, note that Yamaha has still not officially unveiled the date of arrival in concession of the Xmax version ABS … An asset however irrefutable among neophytes, because it is generally when braking that we are surprised and that we fall !
