Is the New Yamaha Nmax better than the old model or
is the old model from 8 years ago superior?
That depends upon you because it's a tossup. There's
pros and cons to both. So I've just put two videos
on you the Jack Corbett Video Channel to provide you
with an in depth unbiased analysis of the the good
and bad of the old vs new Yamaha Nmax.
In my very biased opinion whichever one you get you
will be buying the very best, safest all around
motorbike money can buy for driving in urban
environments such as we face in Pattaya, Thailand.
So is the New Yamaha Nmax better than the older models?
I'm going to stick with my old model Nmax, and I'm going to tell you
why.

In this video I'm driving my old model Yamaha N-Max through Pattaya
to provide my readers with an in depth review of its strengths and
weaknesses compared to the new model that replaced it.
Driving the new 2021 Yamaha Nmax. Old vs new Yamaha Nmax. You'd
think newer is better than older. And in many ways it is. But if you
want to make an in depth choice on which Nmax is best for you, I
recommend that you watch both videos.

I love high performance cars and motorbikes. So for me a bike that
offers the utmost in great handling, superior braking, good fuel
economy, and great acceleration is the bike I'm going to choose
every time. With one caveat and that is the bike must be reliable.
My 1993 supercharged Mazda Miata performed like a V-8 until I blew
three engines and took the supercharger off. So if I had to choose
between the Old vs new yamaha Nmax? Take my souping up my Mazda
Miata as a hint.
Here's an example of how I constantly
increase a vehicle's performance.
I once owned a 1993 Mazda Miata
sports car. It had a 1600 c.c. engine that produced just 116
horsepower. Which was good because the Miata handled great while
offering the open air feeling of old English roadsters such as the
MGB and Triumph 2000. But I wanted a lot more performance so I
totally changed the basic Miata platform to being a Porsche or
Corvette killer in disguise.
What I created came from writing my
first novel, Death
on the Wild Side. InDeath
on the Wild Side my
protagonist totally transformed an MGA into a very high performance
machine that hosted aV-8 engine among other things.
So I followed my own guidance and loaded my
1993 Mazda Miata with a lot of very high performance extras that
would enable me to more than hold my own with much more powerful
sports cars. Since I was going to supercharge my Miata I would have
to increase the handling capabilities of the car to keep up with all
that extra horsepower. So I had the car lowered, had the mechanics
put on much larger wheels with low profile tires just for starters.
Then I
installed a Sebring supercharger.
Exchanged the exhaust with a high performance setup. Then I added an
air intake and high performance header. All that increased my
horsepower from 116 to 180. Which is a lot considering the car only
weighed 2300 pounds.
I could get the jump on the Porsche's and
Corvettes I'd encounter although I didn't think I'd eventually win
if their drivers would decide to make a real race out of such
encounters.
The Mechanics and service manager at the
Mazda dealer loved me to death due to all the money I was spending
with them and my coming up with the likes of what they had never
encountered before.
The service
manager and I were about to install a
nitrous oxide kit, which
would have given me well over 250 horsepower. But by then I had
already blown three engines so we called it off. And not wanting to
blow any more engines I had the supercharger removed.
So what does supercharging a Mazda Miata
have to do with is it better to buy the old vs new Yamaha Nmax?
My point is I'm a different kind of animal
than your typical guy faced with making a choice between the old vs
new Yamaha Nmax.
I choose the wire tight superior handling
of the old vs new Yamaha Nmax even though most guys would choose the
superior refinement of the new Nmax over the old model.
But can I do even better than having to choose between the Old vs
New Yamaha Nmax?
I can exchange my Nmax's variator setup
with a higher performance setup or do even more things to my bike to
dramatically increase its horsepower output. But I learned my lesson
all too well. After souping up my Mazda Miata sports car. I'm nearly
certain that if I change the variator, I'm sacrificing reliability.
As well as fuel economy.
I view my Yamaha Nmax much like sports car
enthusiasts viewed Porsche's in the 1950's. They weren't the fastest
sports cars. But they handled better than practically everything
else. My Nmax has exceptionally good brakes. It offers terrific
handling. And good power in an urban environment. So as a total
package it's great fun to drive. And very quick getting around in
city traffic.
