Yamaha Mio Soul: Is it worth it?

[beereo]

I'm very satisfied with mine fuel consumption is comparable with a Honda Wave 125cc.

Get a black one.

i really like the black-colored mio soul. the paint job and the stickers are superb. pare, what can you say about the new honda xrm rs 125 and the kawasaki zx 130? are these motorcycles comparable to to mo soul? thanks!

The XRM 125 and Zx130 are entirely different from the Mio since these bikes are not fully automatic.

The Mio is full-auto with a CVT (gearless) tranny. "Twist Throttle n' Go" is what some call it.

The XRM is also partially different from the Zx130 since the XRM is a cross-over bike meaning it is half street-half off-road bike hence the handlebar and suspension layout which is similar to a mini dirt bike. I don't find the XRM comfortable for daily riding since it has very narrow, very hard seats; not really friendly for our jewels between the legs

The Zx130 is purely street. The styling gets a bit getting used to since this bike is actually an attempt to replicate the fairings (body panels) of the ZX600r Sport Bike series of Kawasaki.

I ride my Mio daily despite my 6'2" height handicap. It's a joy even on sharp curves. Believe me you can lean the bike real low. Although I could wish for more storage under the seat similar to the cavernous U-Box of the XRM, Wave 100/125, the compartment space is very much acceptable.

The Mio's front disc brakes has great power for emergency stops but the rear drums don't do much alone. It can slow you down but not stop as quickly as the fronts.

Yung posted na specs nung super 8 kanina is for the 50cc model (check the displacement) and the 50cc is a 2 stroke model, not 4. (Kaya mababa ang torque)

The 4 stroke is a 125cc.


Going back to the Mio soul, I like the size coz it ain't too small but ain't too bulky either so madali rin isingit sa traffic. Rant ko lang talaga eh wala halos compartment compared to Super 8, ZX130 or even an XRM/Wave. Regarding acceleration and tops, it's pretty good for overtaking on city driving as the low end acceleration is superb. Top speed is in the 100kph range. Personal best (on a friend's unit) is 104kph.
