Take home 2019 Yamaha NVX 155 and Y15ZR in Doxou bodywork

KUALA LUMPUR: We all like to have automobiles which pack a look, don’t we? But often manufacturers act like racists and do not serve different markets with similar looks and features on their cars or motorcycles. Riders from the ASEAN region are particularly hit by this fact and they usually just keep waiting hopelessly for the manufacturers to offer them with similar stuff just the like neighbours.

However, good things take time to happen, don’t they? And the wait has ended. From Vietnam, where the Yamaha two-wheelers are sold with some striking looks, we have been brought the Yamaha NVX 155 and Yamaha Y15ZR (Exciter 150 in Vietnam) with Doxou bodywork. A blue paint job complemented by reddish bronze accents along with black alloy at the front and blue at the rear is what the Doxou bodywork comprises of. The NVX 155 and Y15ZR have been priced at RM 9,988 and RM 7,888, respectively.

Talking about the other technicalities of the Y15ZR, the moped is powered by a 150 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor which can produce 15.4 PS of maximum power and a peak torque of 13.8 Nm. A 5-speed gearbox takes of delivering the power to the rear wheel. Moving to the scooter, the NVX 155 gets a 155 cc single-cylinder mill that can pump out a maximum power of 15 PS and 14.4 Nm of peak torque. This engine is also equipped with EFI and variable valve actuation (VVA). Furthermore, the 155 cc motor is mated to a CVT unit.
