Used Buyer Review

The Aerox 155 is genuinely quick for a scooter — that VVA-equipped single pulls hard past 6,000rpm and will embarrass plenty of naked bikes off the lights. Used examples from 2020 onwards are solid buys if you do your homework. Check the belt and roller weights first; owners who thrash them and skip the 8,000km service intervals will hand you an expensive problem. The underseat storage is laughably small for a scooter this size, which tells you Yamaha prioritized the sporty chassis over practicality. Build quality is genuinely good for the class — switchgear feels substantial, the USD fork is a real differentiator, and the traction control works without being intrusive. But inspect the exhaust header for rust around the collector, it's a known weak point on bikes that've seen wet commuting. Tyres wear faster than you'd expect given the weight; budget for a fresh set if the asking price looks suspicious.

Pros

+VVA engine pulls strongly throughout
+USD fork genuinely capable
+Traction control actually works
+Strong resale value retention
+Solid Yamaha build quality

Cons

-Underseat storage embarrassingly tiny
