Why is the MT-09’s suspension so bad?

It's not great for track use even with the improvements, but with some tweaks it would be fine. It's totally fine for daily riding though.
Can you live with the Aerox 155's lack of storage space and flat floorboard?

It's a compromise for sure, but not a deal breaker. I've grown accustomed to using a backpack to haul around groceries and my helmet fits in the underseat storage just fine. The lost convenience is made up for by the performance.

It's honestly a pain for everyday use. I really miss being able to carry bags between my feet, and not having a flat surface to rest your feet on for longer rides. Fun rides are great, errands not so much.

It is something that takes a little while to get used to but is doable. I added a small front basket for extra storage. It's a trade off for the sporty ride and looks.

I commute daily, and I don't think it's practical. There’s limited storage and I always seem to end up taking the car for the most basic of errands. Now it's more of a weekend fun ride for me.

Adapting your lifestyle is all it’s about. I’ve started to use backpacks and learnt how to pack properly. The bobmyness of the Aerox is far more outweighed by the joy of simply riding.
On long weekend rides, how does the Aerox 155 fare against entry level sports bikes?
07 January 2025 10:28
Surprisingly good! The CVT makes for no gear fatigue, and the Aerox is comfy for long rides. All day it can cruise at 80-90 kmph. Yes, it’s not going to keep up with sports bikes, but it’s so much more relaxing.

For short trips okay but not for a serious tour. For long distance comfort and stability, a proper bike just can't be beat, and it's small wheels and scooter ergonomics.

I love it for weekend rides! Less fatigue in traffic, and nimble on twisty roads, no clutch. Pack light and stop for fuel more often than your bike buddies do.

It's a compromise. Perfect for mixed city highway riding but will feel limited on open highways. You miss the top end of a sports bike and wind protection is minimal. Now it’s way more practical when you get to your destination.

I switched from a sport bike to an Aerox and actually prefer it for weekend trips. It’s more comfortable, easier to ride, and it’s still fun in the twisties. Don't expect to win any races, just don't.
Is the Aerox 155 a good first step on the ladder of performance two wheelers?
07 January 2025 10:28
Absolutely! The Aerox is the perfect stepping stone. It gives you a taste of performance without the fear of a full bike. A great confidence builder with more power and better handling.

I would say it's a little bit of a mixed bag. It’s good for learning throttle control and cornering, but you miss out on essential skills such as clutch control and gear management that you need for bikes.

It's a great starter for performance enthusiasts. It’s powerful enough to be exciting, but the CVT makes it less daunting. And, the sporty ergonomics put you in sport bike postures.

I personally feel that it is better to start with a regular bike. The automatic transmission of the Aerox may have you form bad habits, and it could be harder to switch to a manual bike laster.

I found it super helpful as a person who started on an Aerox before going to bikes. It was forgiving, and taught me about weight transfer in corners and handling more power. Great confidence builder!
So is the Aerox 155 worth the premium over your regular scooters?
07 January 2025 10:28
Absolutely worth it! Basically, the Aerox is a sports bike in scooter form. The R15 level performance without the hassle of gears is what you get. Ideal for commuting through city traffic, or weekend jaunts.

It's honestly overkill for most people. Yeah, it’s fun, but a normal 110cc scooter will do the job just fine for daily commutes and grocery runs for half the price.

It’s dependent on what you value. The Aerox is great if you want something unique and like spirited riding. If you’re just after practical transport, there are cheaper alternatives that make more sense.

There’s a premium for the build quality and the features it offers. You get better suspension, wider tires and more powerful brakes. It has nothing to do with the engine, it's the whole package.
