I've put almost 23,000 miles on my 2014 model, zero problems--just routine maintenance.
wow 23, 000 miles on a 2014... sheesh bro you ride hard... congrats
ride safe and keep enjoying your Zuma
I have a 125cc 2015 zuma . So I appreciated this video
its one of my earlier videos so i know its a little cringy, but i appreciate the support
Great review. I own a 2009 50 (2 stroke) and a 2010 125 that I bought new. I love them both. Idk which one to keep if I had to sell one. They both have their plus and minuses. You forgot to mention the 125 has an extra side stand which makes life easier. My 50 has a kick start in addition to the electric which I like. It also has a large floorboard area, great for carrying large items. The 50 has a nice soft suspension; the 125 is firm. I find the tail lights are real dim on the 125. I had to upgrade it to LED ones. The 125 handles way better than the 50 around corners. Seems to have a lower centre of gravity. Also on mine, both scooter's turn signals have good audible clicks.
your right, the 125 does have the kick stand along with the center stand which is nice for quick stops,
and i agree, a year later and i've noticed it does have a firm suspension and the 50cc is more forgiving on the bumbs
hmmm maybe it was just my 50f where the clicks turned out to be quiet but i feel the 50f handled a little better, with the floor board gas tank versus the under seat gas tank, i feel the 50f has the lower center of gravity but the power of the 125 allows you to power out and around turns and cars easier
thank for watching
Thanks for the comparison. I sold the 50 bought 125 love it
i fell in love with the 125 right away... i wish the guy at the dealership spent 5 mins trying to up sell me... 50cc are pretty much pointless
Nice walk-around comparisons. Great video. I ride an older Zuma 50cc with a 70cc big bore kit and just love it.
Rick Rudge thanks, i appreciate the support, im toying with the idea of throwing a BBK on the 125, but it opens up pandora's box of never ending expensive mods.. i think the verticle headlight kit or a new final gear is up next
3 years later and you’ve done a lot of mods like you wanted. I’ve sold my beloved Zuma with the 70cc BBK and bought a Zuma 125. I’m loving the better speed. I really wish that the seat hight was a little lower but I prefer using the center stand. No mods for the 125 other than some cosmetic stuff as yet. Gassing up the scooter had some fuel-spilling issues, but I’ve started turning the key to keep an eye on the fuel gauge as I refuel so it’s easy to know when to stop. 🛵💨
Great comparison thank you
Richard Hilliard its one of my first videos, stage fright, vocab, but i appreciate the support
Love those helmet hooks. Going to check to see if mine has one in the morning.
***** they come in handy thats for sure, incase you don't check this out, i found it in a vloggers video
thehelmethook.com/products/the-helmet-hook
my 2009 zuma 50 clicks when you turn the blinker on and its loud
thats crazy, mine is super quiet, only my 125 is super loud
I rode Yamaha BWS which is almost the same as yours but different head light setup. But they are the best, rode them for ten years in Asia. never a problem with one. but change the front disk pads every 5000 kilometers.
@ 5:29, i'm sooo glad they removed the filler cap from in front of the seat. To me, it reminded me of a boil on someone's face. In my opinion, it didn't look right there.
I was thinking about getting another vehicle for fun -- i'm divided between this and the Kawasaki z125.
+You Toober yea i don't like where the gas cap is at... i wish it was still on the floor bored but now its on the inside cowl on the 2016 zuma, at least its easy to fill, how it changes the weight distribution id like to know
the z125 i don't think will be available in the U.S. but that would be a great little alternative to the yamaha r125 or even the honda msx (Grom)
i went with a scooter instead of the grom because i liked having the trunk space or the grom
Onyx Haze, enjoyed your video. It helped me decide between both bikes.
its one of my first, so i know it's a little long and rough but im glad you found it useful, enjoy your zuma
The newer 2016 zuma 125 has more storage space under the seat as the gas tank was moved from under the seat to the floor boards.
2016+ looks ghey. 2015 is the last of the good looking zuma 125s.
I'm actually buying a JDM version of one of those things instead ya because I just will definitely be the only one in North America that has a imported one from Japan that I know of because I have a JDM Importer who is actually helping me out with my perches from Japan because I just actually can't wait
50cc is just as good as 150cc however 125cc scooter is a beast
How haha??
Unfortunately in my state anything over 50cc requires a motorcycle license.
+mrcaptaincrazy i needed a motorcycle license even for my 50cc in california... haha
+Onyx Haze I'm still going to get a 70cc big bore kit for mine. I need to get my motorcycle license.
mrcaptaincrazy rock the 50cc for as long as you can, get some street time then take the behind the wheel test at the DMV, thats what i did and saved money. if you plan on getting a bigger motorcycle then id recommend the safety course, i havent taken the safety course but i will when i get a motorcycle
It's a shame that you have to take the msf to even obtain a permit in CA when under 21. I don't know where I'll find the time to do the course when enrolled in college...
you have to take the msf only if your younger than 18, if your 18+ just download the handbook study take the written exam and get your permit, youll be able to ride durign the day practice for 6 months than just take the behind the wheel at the dmv...
if you have to take the msf, its available o weekends
I got a 213 zuma 50f with 23,000 miles on it and I recently picked up a 211 125zuma
hell yea !!
Excellent review... Like it
my first real video and review, i appreaciate the kind words, thank you
My old Zuma like a early 2000 zuma 50 had a click when using signal
The only reason I ride a 50cc is because we didn't get our license yet. As soon as we get our licenses we are moving up
nice... im guessing you live outside california ?
the sound of blinkers are on 2 strokes of 2009 (bws)
Why do their keys have that 'pivot' feature on them???
Hey man great video is this the 2015 by the way?
also do you need a motorcycle license to ride this and is it highway capable?
steven rodriguez the orange zuma is a 2014, but i believe from 2009 to 2015 they are all identical besides the paint job...
In the state of California you do require a motorcycle license at least an M2. i think for any motorized scooter more than 1hp and can do 35+mph. I would double check with the DMV for requirements in your state.
In the state of California this is not highway legal, i believe it has to be 149+cc for it to be technically highway legal...
she will cruise 55mph easily, top out 65mph on a good stretch of road, so i guess you could go on the highway but we both know if the limit is 65mph people are doing 75mph, so you'll be maxed and kind of a hindrance on the road, but if you really really had to i guess you could. i go cruising the back roads all the time (55mph+). the long straights i feel like im slowing traffic down but in the twisties she is so nimble that its not a problem..
i hope this and some of my other videos helps out...
i have both also and like the little 50 better
Joey9 batman i like the features of the 50 and the power of the 125, they need to combine them together and make a 175... haha
i miss the large storage space, the luggage rack and cup holder but the i love the freedom the 125 gives me, im at the beach every other day and im finally able to hit the twisties
thanks for watching
Was up bro, quick question. Is there a way to shut off your headlight off.. like the low beam one.
i would not recommend it, it's hard enough to be seen on a scooter. a day time running light is a great safety feature. that said
im sure there is, its just how the lights are wired. maybe splicing it together with the high beam so they are both off. then you flip the high beam switch and they are both on. just an idea
stay safe out there
No driving test? Was really hopping to see them race.
dam that is a good idea, sorry i didnt think of that. Trust me though, you dont want a 50cc
@@OnyxHaze I just picked up an 89 aka prebug Zuma with a 50cc two stroke engine. Also got a 72cc 1976 Chappy witu 489 miles on it. Need to fix the petcocks on them. Then I might race my 1970 Z50 with an 88cc big bore kit.
@@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel yea those two strokes thou, you can squeeze a lot out of it compared to a 4
And what about the power steering?
Great Video.. Thanks for sharing .. Just curious how do you get a Yamaha BWS 125 (the overseas) version? I think I like that version bit better.. Can you get that baby here in the U.S.?
you can get the vertical headlight kit from RC Scooters (www.rcscooters.com) just email him and tell him i sent you. thats the easiest way to get the overseas look without shipping a whole scooter.

@@OnyxHaze Hey Onyx.. Thanks for answering my question. I just saw your answer today.. Sorry took so long to get back to you.. And thanks for the video on the light upgrade on the 125... Hope your Zuma's are still running strong..
Can anyone tell me a great place to find a Yamaha Zuma 50cc? I really would love the help!
i recommend you check the classifieds (ie. craiglist, cycletrader, local newspaper)
if worse comes to worse im sure a Yamaha Dealership can get one for you...
don't know what your plans are but i recommend at least a 125cc if you plan on keeping it for a while.
good luck, happy hunting
Do it the right way and go to the dealer get that paper work to get your sticker or plate. If you purchase from off the street make sure you have your paper work.
What’s with all the trash bins?
Which mirrors are better?
+bigmike7801 good question, i like the wider 50f mirrors, a little better view behind you and just a little better styling then plain round
how much do you pay for insurance?
+JMNH2009
insurance varies from person to person and from company to company, i pay $170 per yr for full coverage on the zuma 125, its cheaper than my car insurance because i use it as a second vehicle for pleasure. your insurance might be different depending on age and driving record.... thanks for watching
I liked the Zuma 125. Do you know any major difference between the kymco super 8 150(if you have any info) and the Zuma 125? I’m torn between the two. I know they are different brands as well, but I’m not sure. And what is the difference in the 2019 Zuma 125 than the 2020 Zuma 125? Have you ride it long distance yet?
Unfortunately, i don't know much about the kymco super 8.
Best thing i could recommend is to test ride both of them if they let you. Just take it easy, if you break it, you buy it.
Also call around and make sure that mechanics work on the kymco, maybe try and find out how easy it is to get parts for it online or at the dealerships. I know that any yamaha dealership will work on the zuma and parts are easy enough to get.
From what i can tell on the website. the 2019 and 2020 zuma 125 are the same, maybe different color options. If you can get a discount on a 2019, go ahead. even better maybe a 2018, 2017 or even 2016 because they are all the same thing. only thing different is color options.
Finally, i have done like 3-4 hour day rides. 160 miles round trip. Always on back roads with speed limits 55mph or less. The scooter is not freeway legal. It will slow down on steep hills and 55 mph is the max and people will tailgate you. Stock engine will get you 60-65 miles per gallon and it only has a 1.7 gallon tank. So on big trips i plan ahead and make sure i know where my gas station are because i only have a 1 gallon tank (2014 model).
The extra 150cc kymco might help on hills and long straight roads or you can upgrade the zuma with a big bore kit but that will cost extra money and require major service to install (video below). Scooters are perfect for "City Riding" if you plan on doing long road trips maybe consider a small motorcycle (300cc or bigger) but there is a Movie (Slow Ride Home) where a group of guys go cross country on a yamaha zuma 125.
I prefer brands like yamaha and honda, i would even go as far recommending the honda (grom) msx. Its a great bike with lots of customization available. and honeslty a stock grom will out perform a stock zuma in top speed and miles per gallon and you learn to switch gears. i bought the zuma before the grom came out and im gonna keep it because i love it , its different, and im invested in it . also the grom is popular right now and you will pay a premium.
Hope this helps
ruclips.net/video/2XsyKzUNIVk/видео.html
Onyx Haze yes this helps a lot. Thank you so much. I don’t want the grom because it’s like a mini motorcycle without any storage and i like the little storage the Zuma offers. I like in Houston so i don’t have hills. I have a car but i may v want to drive it to like a destination that is an hr away from time to time. I like scooters, i like to stay in the side roads, in scared to get a actual motorcycle that’s why I’m interested in the scooter world lol.
@@ajalamcgregor9354 side roads are good, i take mine to the beach, the lake and the twisties all the time. Dont be afraid of motorcycles, scooters are just as dangerous if not MORE dangerous than a motorcycle. Remember it doesnt matter if you are on a scooter, grom or motorcycle. They all hurt when you fall off at 50 mph. Ride Safe, Stay Safe and glad i could help.
let me know what you get
The longest ride i would do is from Houston to Galveston which in a car it takes about 45 minutes so on a scooter I’m sure a little longer but not further than that.
Onyx Haze Does any of the Yamaha Zuma 125 have abs ?
would you recommend the 50f for a first time rider?
honestly man... No.
if your gonna buy a scooter get at least a 125cc from the beginning.
this is why

Mark McKibbin ?
Do you think a 2005 50cc with 3200 miles on it is worth $1200? I'm considering buying it.
what do you plan on using the scooter for... work, school, in town shopping, commuting, road trips ?
i would say look for a 125cc first !! they are a lot more useful than a little 50cc that can only do 35 mph. even if you have to pay an extra $500+ it will be worth it. trust me i had a 50cc and a 125cc and i wish i got the 125cc first.
but
i sold my 2010 50cc with 10,000 miles for $1,000....
its not a bad deal, i like that it has really low miles on it, but that means its been sitting a lot. gotta make sure it starts, runs good, the engine hasn't seized and that you can still get parts for it incase something goes wrong... you can also check kelly blue book and see what listing price is and trade in value. maybe you can save some money and offer less
www.kbb.com/motorcycles/
@@OnyxHaze I would get a 125cc but you have to have a motorcycle license to drive it on the street here. I don't have one.
@@Elevated805 i live in california and i had to get a motorcycle license just to ride the 50cc!!! so if you are old enough to get a license.... Get A License !! study the book, take your written exam and get a permit... practice riding everyday where its safe, then go back and do the behind the wheel test... take a motorcycle safety course for extra knowledge and it counts as the behind the wheel test. License acquired ! Or you can get the 50cc.. up to you
How come u didn’t trade in the 50?
i ended up selling it privately for $1300 the dealership only offered me $800... thanks for watching
Did i hear him say these have transmission fluid?
did i really?
@@OnyxHaze like 30 seconds in, but i checked after your video and yes yamaha does call it transmission oil, i always knew it as gear oil! Lol
@@boomer1981abc for the final gear, right? yea this was one of my earliest videos, i call it gear oil now... the things you pick up along the way. thanks for watchng
@@OnyxHaze all good! I was looking at getting a 125 and i was wondering if they no longer used a cvt belt style transmission lol
@@boomer1981abc what did you find out about the belt ?
Are these bikes for sale in Chicago?
yes the current models should be available in chicago
onyx haze hablas español?
un pocito
you forgot to mention the prices
dam thats a good idea, thanks for pointing that out
How much did you pay ?
i paid 2,800 out the door for the 125, i should of bought it used cause i would of saved 500 or more but i wanted the orange color
Onyx Haze What did it list for? Did you talk them down?
that garbage can tho
