Although Yamaha motorcycles are the ones to have made history, Yamaha scooters can be called a market success too; after all, not anyone can race on a legendary motorcycle, or not even afford it. Yamaha scooters thus come as a brand name alternative to ultra powerful engines. The scooter can be used for traveling both in the city and on the highway, and the safety and comfort level will not disappoint you. Many Yamaha scooters can fool one at the first glance and actually pass for motorcycles, and the impression is perfectly justified if we consider the serious equipment and advanced technical features incorporated. We could even speak of very successful power scooter design resulting from the combination of the average scooter and a the touring bike.

Yamaha scooters often rely on cast aluminum wheels with a variable automatic transmission and an incorporated parking brake that makes the usage very simple. An external frame holds the scooter pieces together giving the smug unitary look that create the very reputation of Yamaha scooters. With a four gallon tank capacity, Yamaha scooters are very economic and advantageous in terms of fuel consume, and the velocity limit is superior to most other scooters available: 188mph. If we compare this speed limit to that of other scooters in the same category, the difference is astonishing. Yamaha does keep its promise!

Storage space is plentiful with Yamaha scooters. Most designs have two glove boxes and an under-seat compartment providing plenty of room for the user. Reviews insist on the similarity between Yamaha scooters and motorcycles, you can identify lots of common elements. The large headlights, the tall windshield and the full size gauges are definitely inspired by the motorcycles. Plus, from the rider’s seat you have a very good visibility of the bodywork as well. The costs for such power scooters is often higher than $5,000, which could prove out of the reach of the average buyer.

Yamaha scooters also allow for more seating postures than a motorcycle, and the benefits are even higher if we consider the step-through design and the profile view. However, the footrest space is not too large. Lots of Yamaha scooters have just a central tunnel in which to place the boots, without much possibility to move the feet sideways.
