in 2012 I started to make 2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions on what Yamaha’s upcoming latest and greatest could do.<\/p>\n

By April 2012, the handwriting was on the wall.<\/p>\n

In spite of the overall excellence of Yamaha’s 135 c.c. Nouvo Elegance, the Japanese company was planning to replace it with a new fuel injected 125 c.c. model.<\/h3>\n
\"Nouvo<\/a>
The owners of the Yamaha Nouvo SX will have this sexy instrumentation to look at with its on board little computer that will give fuel economy performance figures. The new Nouvo SX 125 will offer advanced fuel injection for easy starting and excellent fuel economy. But it’s offering just 125 cc’s to the Yamaha Nouvo Elegance’s larger 135 engine. Will it measure up. Read on to find out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That was in 2012. \u00a0Today, it’s May 1, 2015, and I’m still the proud owner of both a\u00a02008 model 135 c.c. Yamaha Elegance and a 2014 Yamaha SR400. \u00a0Neither is for sale.<\/p>\n

The Elegance has now been with me for six years. \u00a0And it’s likely to stay with me for a long time to come. \u00a0The reason is in the last six years I cannot think of a single motorbike \u00a0that’s as good\u00a0for the kind of driving I do overall in and around Pattaya, Thailand which has been my home for the past ten years. \u00a0The 135 c.c. Yamaha Nouvo Elegance is still is a wondrous little motorbike that cannot be beat for the everyday driving conditions here. \u00a0Nevertheless, I’m still the kind \u00a0of guy who’s always looking for something better. \u00a0 \u00a0So in 2012 I started making 2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions.<\/p>\n

In 2012 Yamaha’s flagship for 125 c.c. class motorbikes in Southeast Asia was the Yamaha Nouvo Elegance.<\/h3>\n

It had a spirited 135 c.c. engine that outperformed most of its 125 c.c. competition. \u00a0Trouble was it was getting a lot of complaints about poor fuel economy and starting problems. \u00a0Even worse, it was getting to be pretty long in the tooth, and was becoming more and more viewed as a relic of the past. \u00a0This was not good for Yamaha, \u00a0Because here in Southeast Asia Yamaha was being perceived as being technologically grossly inferior to its main competitor. \u00a0Which was Honda, which had been getting the lion’s share of sales in this portion of the world.<\/p>\n

Honda had just introduced its PCX 125 which it was billing as the\u00a0most technologically advanced 125 step through that the world had ever seen. \u00a0Honda hyped its PCX up to have\u00a0a wondrous fuel injection system that would get the new Honda automatic more than 125 miles per gallon. \u00a0 I then started reading in several motorcycle internet forums how superior Honda’s PCX was to all its competition. \u00a0Especially the Yamaha Nouvo Elegance with its antiquated carburetor. \u00a0“Yamaha was a second class kind of company”, claimed many new owners of the Honda PCX. \u00a0It was starting to look like Yamaha had never heard of fuel injection. \u00a0Or if it had, its fuel injection systems were primitive compared to what Honda was now offering.<\/p>\n

It must have been in 2012 that I started reading about Yamaha’s 125 c.c. and 250 X Max models<\/h3>\n

that it had been offering elsewhere in the world since 2005. \u00a0I still recall reading how its 125 X Max offered 14 horsepower to my 135 c.c. Elegance’s 11.2. \u00a0And the X Max had always been fuel injected. \u00a0Even back in 2005 when it was getting rave reviews as a wunder machine that was much more advanced than anything from Honda.<\/p>\n

Truth is both Honda and Yamaha were already producing advanced twist and go\u00a0125 c.c. class motorbikes for various world markets that the rest of the world didn’t seem to know anything about at all.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, rumors started to get out on the Southeast Asia motorbike forums \u00a0that Yamaha would soon replace its 135 c.c. Elegance with something far better. \u00a0And even I, who already owned a Nouvo 135 c.c. Elegance started to believe such rumors. \u00a0 \u00a0That’s why in 2012 I started making my\u00a0Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions.<\/p>\n

Critics of the 135 c.c. Yamaha Nouvo Elegance had a valid point about the bike’s carburetor and lack of fuel injection.<\/h3>\n

Starting is not the Yamaha Elegance’s strong point. \u00a0Gas \u00a0accumulates in the carburetor. \u00a0Even after two or three days an Elegance is reluctant to start compared to fuel injected bikes that take just one half of a second to fire up.<\/p>\n

When make an overseas trip for three or four weeks, it takes thirty seconds of cranking to get its engine to come to life. \u00a0Which nearly drains the battery. \u00a0Even then I have to baby the bike for the first minute or two before the little motorbike gets rid of all\u00a0the bad fuel in the carburetor. \u00a0But the Elegance trumps any Honda PCX with its kick start. \u00a0This means that even if the battery goes totally dead you are still able to start it.<\/p>\n

Yamaha’s new 125 c.c. Nouvo Elegance did turn out in my estimation to be a wonderful motorbike. \u00a0Especially for the kind of driving conditions one finds in Pattaya and in similar cities. \u00a0As for how well it compares to the carbureted\u00a0135 c.c. Elegance or the Honda PCX in either its 125 or later model 150 incarnations, you will just have to read some of my Jack Corbett motorbike reviews to find out.<\/p>\n

But back to the\u00a0Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions I was making in 2012.<\/h3>\n

I\u00a0speculated “Above all, take all of this with a grain of salt.\u00a0 I’m doing this for fun so I can later check back to see how close I got to the mark.\u00a0 This is only a crap shoot. Nevertheless it should be interesting to see how accurately this crap shoot will measure up”.<\/p>\n

So how accurate was I?\u00a0 Click here for my\u00a0Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Yamaha<\/a><\/p>\n

That was all pure speculation back then. \u00a0For two days I’d rent a Nouvo SX 125 which I’d pit against my 135 c.c. Nouvo Elegance to get an accurate measurement on how the two would stack up against each other for pure economy and stop watched times from zero to fifty \u00a0and zero to eighty kph. \u00a0I seriously doubt if you will find a serious head to head comparison between these two Yamaha Nouvo’s elsewhere. \u00a0 And now for the real deal–the shootout of the Yamaha 135 c.c. Elegance against the Yamaha fuel injected 125 c.c. SX<\/a><\/p>\n

By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \\\"Welcome to the Fun House\\\".

He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \"Welcome to the Fun House\". Within a month after publishing \"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \"Death on the Wild Side\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely revamped front and back covers.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.alphapro.com"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2dfXw-nV","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1506,"url":"https:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/2015\/05\/03\/yamaha-nouvo-fuel-injection-controversy\/","url_meta":{"origin":1483,"position":0},"title":"Yamaha Nouvo fuel injection controversy","author":"Jack Corbett","date":"May 3, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"This review of the Yamaha Nouvo SX vs Nouvo Elegance settles the Yamaha Nouvo fuel injection controversy before Yamaha replaced the Elegance with its blue illuminated gauges the view of the driver is not all that bad when he's driving the Nouvo Elegance. \"Why should Yamaha stick with an old-fashioned\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Motorcycles Suitable for Thailand"","block_context":{"text":"Motorcycles Suitable for Thailand","link":"https:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/category\/motorcycles-suitable-for-thailand\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Dash of the 2008 Yamaha Nouvo Elegance","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/motorbike15.jpg?resize=350%2C200&quality=60&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/motorbike15.jpg?resize=350%2C200&quality=60&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/motorbike15.jpg?resize=525%2C300&quality=60&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":440,"url":"https:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/2013\/10\/06\/road-test-honda-click-125\/","url_meta":{"origin":1483,"position":1},"title":"Road Test Honda Click 125 Yamaha Nouvo SX, Elegance and motorbikes in Pattaya","author":"Jack Corbett","date":"October 6, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"After reviewing the Honda Click 125\u00a0I wanted to Road Test Honda Click 125, Yamaha Nouvo 125 SX and the Yamaha Nouvo 135 using a stop watch while recording actual gas mileage results.
