Yamaha Vino



With successful market for vintage old school design for scooters Yamaha launched a model for 2006 with a fuel sipping 4-stroke engine, the Yamaha Vino. A nice, fancy and old school looks is one of the things i like the most in this scooter. The design is great and made with the finest graphics and style.

This model is an upgrade or refresh from the old model which is a 2-stroke engine. This to meet emission regulations and freshen the styling of the Vino. With its refined look and a great fuel sipping 4-stoke engine it became a classic model.

Maintenance of this scooter is easy and fast as the manufacturer itself release a service manual with information and photos that will help the owner and its mechanic working on the scooter. Parts are available on Yamaha stores and some other stores selling scooter parts or genuine Yamaha parts.

Yamaha designed the Vino logo, reshaped the seat, simplified the floorboard and mildly reshaped the back end. The style is wise, with some changes from the old version. The brakes are changed from disc brake to drum brake, wheels now are 5 spokes mags and front telescopic shock absorber are replaced from the older design. Headlights, signal lights and tail lights are sexy looking. Lots of color variations are also release to add more pleasant appearance in the Vino. Color combinations, high graphic designs, great features, high performance, fuel economy and a smell free 4-stroke engine gives the Vino a great polished personality.

The new Vino continued to use a carburetor until fuel injection was finally announced for 2013.The new 4-stroke engine didn’t make quite as much power as the 2-stroke but the new engine still performs nicely and it offers a host of advantages like significantly improved mileage, a longer engine life, lower emissions and no smoke or smell. If you want to add power on the Vino you will need to work hard to attain your dream output.

The storage is great in space for your baggage and belongings. Have been not installed with glove box you can still rely on its storage in the compartment. If you want to add a more powerful grip when stopping, you can buy for a disk brake and upgrade the front drum break for some hundred dollars.

Yamaha Majesty



Inline with maxi-scooters this is a very reliable scooter model in terms of high speed and performance. Sold in the USA from 2004 - 2014 and in Canada from 2004-2015 before getting faced-out from the market.

The Majesty engine uses a fuel injected 395cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke, 4-valve, DOHC single cylinder engine. This engine give the Majesty a very impressive performance and power. Running up to 140 kph is good considering other scooter can achieve also this power but the difference is the Majesty fuel economy is fairly great. With a 140 kph running speed it can use up to 80 km/gallon which is great. You power this scooter if you like up to 600 cc if you really love powerful scooters.

There is one thing that this scooter has, a very difficult maintenance when it comes with its dual air filters. This filters require massive inspection, attention and sometimes for worst is replacement. It can lead in the damage of your engine if you lack attention regarding the maintenance and checking of this air filters.

This scooter have plenty of storage. Storage in the compartment under the seat that can accommodate a lot of baggage and other belongings together with two more storage in the dash compartment for some smaller items. The meter panel is awesome, in which all necessary indicator needed are already place in there. Speedometer, fuel gauge, signal and beam indicator, coolant temperature gauge, ambient temperature gauge and an indicator for the oil and belt condition.

The majesty is heavy, huge and powerful compared to other models of scooter that is why both brakes are installed with disc brake to ensure a smooth and quick stop. Suspensions helps the rider to feel relax while driving and an excellent maneuver experience.

In overall topic, if you are looking for a reliable, fast, convenient and great performance from a scooter the Majesty is a great choice. Powerful enough for top speed in high ways. Great and awesome features together with high fuel economy make this scooter stand out from its competitor models.

Yamaha Razz



For 1987, this little cute scooter replaced the old model Yamaha Riva. With a Yamaha Minarelli engine this scooter becomes more reliable. This engine is specially designed air cooled, 2-stroke 50cc. Upgrading this model of scooter is really a challenge, It only uses a simple single speed design with just one fixed gear.

The body cover design is most likely based on a Japanese look motif. Simple and pretty but still in a basic look. There is no available storage for the Razz and also nothing more awesome feature but still with a nice performance. With its light weight good output performance is achieved. Very nice fuel economy.

Its brake are both drum brakes not needing that much power in a disc brake because this scooter only has a low top speed. If you are in doubt about its maintenance, don't be afraid because almost parts of the razz is almost the same in the Yamaha Jog model. You can check for this part if they can fit in the Razz if needed. I hear that there are some accessories made for this scooter like rear basket or box and windscreen. Without any storage available and if you are be needing storage you can buy for a basket or box for your belongings purposes.

This scooter was designed to be low cost as possible that is why even a glove box is omitted to save from other cost increase. From that idea no other model of scooter out price the Razz. It is a great choice of scooter if you want a low cost but still reliable scooter. This is recommended for small riders.
