The AEROX really shines when you ride it through the streets of Southeast Asia. From a market perspective, sport scooters are key to capturing ASEAN's younger generation. Infusing it with YZF-R styling to wrap it in 'aspiration' is, I think, a clever strategy that gives a story to everyday transportation.

Even with sport-scooter looks, if the storage and fuel economy are good, it's the perfect commuter companion.

Can you actually buy the Aerox in Japan? Feels like an overseas-only model.

The design's R-series inspired, but underneath it's just a regular scooter right? Looks only.

The engine's probably just a regular liquid-cooled single, expect it to ride like an R-series bike and you'll be disappointed.

Just the looks alone get me hyped, so that's plenty for me.

Having YZF-R DNA baked into the Aerox is exciting, it doesn't even look like a scooter.
