Yamaha Motor Scooters

The Evolution of the Yamaha Motor Scooter

Yamaha has long been a leader in the motorcycle and motor scooter markets around the world. In 1960, the first model of the motor scooter was released to the United States market. The Yamaha motor scooter was originally fashioned after the stylish motor scooters seen in the movies.

Over the years, Yamaha has produced many different scooter models, ranging in size from 50 cc all the way to 250 cc in the 1970’s, to now having a model with 499 cc. The 50 cc models average about 123 mpg while the 499 cc version only get about 47 mpg. While you lose fuel economy, you do gain a huge amount of speed and get about the same amount of distance in comparison.

When it comes to buying a Yamaha motor scooter, you’re going to have to put up some major cash, seeing as a lower-end 50 cc model will run you just over $2,000, while the top end 499 cc Yamaha motor scooter can run you upwards of $8,000 and $9,000. You end up paying in the beginning, but what you save in gas quickly makes up for the money spent.

It can be hard to decide which one of these models is best suited for you, but it would be a mistake to let their cost dictate which one you buy. Yamaha has full financing available for approved customers to assist with paying for the scooter. Take into consideration what kind of driving you’re going to need it for, and make a decision from there. It will be well worth it in the long run.
