Mega 125cc Scooter Comparison Part 1: The Most Fun Scooter That You Can Get

Here’s the clincher. The large maxi-style scooter beat them all - the racy NTorq, the light RayZR and the quick Access 125. How did it do that?

The Burgman did feel its size around the cramped track. The poor brakes, soft suspension setup and squiggly MRF tyres didn’t help its cause either. But still, the swift acceleration out of slow speed corners was extremely crucial in helping the Burgman emerge as the quickest one here.

Banking on 35+ years of racing pedigree, the TVS NTorq has the best chassis and hardware combination of the lot. You can chuck it into bends and flick it to another side in an instant. It brakes well and the tyres never showed any signs of squirming. It is slow getting off the line and hence, curbs it from setting the quickest time here.

It might be the Racing Sixties edition but no additional boost here for the Vespa. Its great braking prowess helps in braking as late as possible but the lack of drive out of slower bends meant it spooled up quite slowly. Plus, its vague handling was a bit unnerving around the track.

The Access might be the quickest off the line but still out here on the track, it had a lot to deal with. It has the worst brakes in this segment, meaning you had to get off the gas sooner. Plus, its easy handling, soft suspension and not so grippy tyres, meant it was not getting around bends as quickly as it could have.

It is the lightest one here and fairly quick off the line but the shortcomings in the power department of the Yamaha RayZR 125 are exposed here on the track. It was slow getting off from 25kmph and the smaller 10-inch rear wheel didn’t aid in cornering stability.

The #BeARacer Aprilia Storm had a lot riding on its shoulders. The motor feels sprightly for the most part, you can brake as late as possible here, it is very flickable, and the grip from the Vee Rubber tyres is phenomenal. But the chunkiness of the block pattern tyres gives you a very weird steering feel. Sadly, this unnerving feeling translated into a slow lap time.
