Everyone knows the Yamaha Nmax for its reliability. This scooter has become a favorite among Indonesian riders thanks to its rugged engine and strong performance. On top of that, it typically holds a higher resale value than older models or lower-cc bikes.
That's exactly why an Nmax can be used as collateral to secure a loan from a financing company or bank. So how do you apply for a loan using your Yamaha Nmax's BPKB (vehicle ownership certificate), and what are the requirements? Here's everything you need to know.
Why an Nmax Makes Strong Collateral
Since its launch in 2015, the Yamaha Nmax has only grown in popularity — and it's easy to see why. The scooter comes packed with advanced features, and it even earned the Motorcycle of the Year 2015 award from the Automotive Journalists Forum.
Yamaha hasn't slowed down since. The Nmax has gone through several upgrades over the years, including a Smart Key System, a more powerful engine, and a sportier design.
All of this keeps demand high across Indonesia and helps the bike hold its value in the market — which makes financing companies more comfortable approving loans backed by an Nmax's BPKB. Here's what makes the Yamaha Nmax stand out:
- Powerful, fuel-efficient engine: The Nmax runs on a 155cc engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology, producing 15 hp and 13.9 Nm of torque for a genuinely peppy ride, all while sipping fuel.
- Competitive pricing: Compared to rivals like the Honda PCX, the Yamaha Nmax is priced attractively, currently starting around Rp30 million.
- Modern, ergonomic design: The futuristic, sporty look pairs with generous legroom, making it comfortable even on longer rides.
- Dual-Channel ABS: Front and rear ABS helps prevent wheel lock-up during sudden braking.
- Digital instrument panel: The digital dash displays everything from engine status to fuel consumption and speed, and can even connect to your phone via a Communication Control Unit (CCU) — a first for a motorcycle made in Indonesia.
How Much Can You Borrow?
The loan amount you qualify for depends on a few factors, including the financing company's policy and your motorcycle's resale value.
