The production of modern, powerful scooters is one of the priority activities of the Japanese concern Yamaha. The company produces a wide range of two-wheeled motor vehicles, which are characterized by a presentable appearance and excellent technical parameters.
In showrooms, the cost of new scooters is quite high, so used models are popular. If you trust reliable suppliers, you will be able to purchase a truly high-quality, powerful unit in original configuration at an affordable price.
Yamaha Virago motorcycle series
Yamaha Virago motorcycles were discontinued more than 15 years ago, but they are still the favorites of many motorcyclists.
For the first time, representatives of this model range appeared on the market in 1995. In the first year of production, the Yamaha Virago series was represented by the Virago XV 1100 motorcycle. This line of motorcycles includes motorcycles with an engine capacity from 125 to 1100 cubic meters. Now on the secondary market you can easily purchase a Yamaha Virago motorcycle. There are such representatives of this family as: XV 400, 535, 750. XV 1100 is also found.
It should be noted that the characteristics of the Yamaha Virago allow motorcycles in this line to be very popular among novice bikers who are just beginning to explore the world of motorcycle technology.
Where it all began
Nowadays, scooter manufacturing accounts for a significant portion of Yamaha's business, but it all started with pianos.
On the eve of the 20th century, the Japanese Thorakusu Yamaha opened a business for the manufacture and sale of musical instruments. His business was successful and steadily brought in income until the time of World War II came, and the Japanese had no time for music.
The company had to find a more relevant product, which became motorcycles. Already in 1955, this niche achieved sufficient independence to have its own name, and thus the company Yamaha Motor appeared.
Artistic version
This modification was released in 1989 and is intended for beginner motorcyclists. The scooter has simplified controls and not as fast dynamic performance as its relatives
Despite the fact that in terms of acceleration and speed parameters it is not the most active in its class, its undeniable advantage is its regularity, which is important for beginners who want to learn the basics of proper riding on a two-wheeled motorized vehicle.
Characteristics of the Yamaha Jog Artistic scooter:
- initial production period - 1989;
- length/width/height – 1615/640/1005 mm;
- curb weight – 60 kilograms;
- engine – two-stroke single-cylinder engine with a volume of 49 cubic meters;
- load capacity is 150 kg;
- cylinder size – 4 centimeters in diameter;
- type of cooling – forced atmospheric exposure;
- compression – 7.3;
- revolutions – 6500 rotations per minute;
- power indicator - 6.8 horsepower;
- piston travel – 39 millimeters;
- gas distribution system – petal valve type;
- speed threshold – 60 kilometers per hour;
- fuel tank volume – 5.5 l.
In addition, the model in question is equipped with a three-speed transmission unit with a wedge variator and gear shift on the steering wheel. For every 100 kilometers the device consumes about 1.6 liters of fuel. The front and rear brakes are self-adjusting drums.
Yamaha Vino Classic 50
The Yamaha Vino Classic 50 scooter is one of the few mopeds made in the popular retro style from the world-famous Japanese company Yamaha.
The bright design with beautiful shapes of the fashion of the 60s were taken as the basis for the exterior of this moped. A fairly large amount of chrome is absolutely not superfluous in the visual perception of this model, but on the contrary, it only adds a certain charm from the last century.
The Vino model is a fairly reliable and comfortable device in its class, which can be used for almost any purpose and purpose. In general, the Yamaha Vino Classic 50 scooter can claim to be the most popular retro moped of this brand. Classic body shapes combined with chrome exterior trim elements are harmonious and modern. Reliable Japanese moped in a popular vintage design. If we give a brief definition, it will look something like this: style, beauty, reliability and simplicity. This device will definitely appeal to fans of Japanese technology, which has not only legendary durability, but also its own unique style.
The Yamaha Vino Classic 50 moped of the first years of production was equipped with a standard 2-stroke engine using an air cooling system. Due to its technical features, the engine turned out to be powerful, but quite voracious. The increased consumption of gasoline and oil does not allow us to call it economical. But this more than pays off with a maximum speed of 60-65 km/h and excellent acceleration dynamics.
As befits a retro scooter, this model’s front and rear brakes have a simple and reliable system of drum mechanisms that do their job well on any road surface and at any speed.
The suspension of the moped is soft, one might even say impressive, due to the use of a pendulum front fork and a standard rear monoshock absorber. But all this is within reason. The device behaves equally correctly both on a straight, flat road and on sharp turns.
The ergonomics of the scooter are pleasant and comfortable: all the necessary switches and instruments are in their places. From the standard set: turn signal switch, engine start button, horn button and headlight switch (low/high beam). The seat and the availability of free space under it deserve special attention. The original shaped driver's seating area is very pleasant and comfortable, and can accommodate two people if desired. The usable space of the glove compartment is impressive in its size: in addition to a helmet, it can accommodate some useful little things like a small set of tools.
You can buy this scooter inexpensively in our stores located in convenient places in Moscow. If necessary, equipment is delivered using the company’s own transport or third-party carriers.
Detailed review
In general, the technical characteristics are as close as possible to the Japanese “brother” Yamaha Jog. But, in this model, all the “sins” were not transferred from Jog, but rather were eliminated. The Axis design is standard and not very noticeable. The only thing worth noting is the spoiler located at the rear, the purpose of which is purely decorative. There is also a small trunk for light loads. The model is “sheathed” in plastic, all components and parts are hidden. Its quality is at the proper level, well secured with special clips.
The suspension is also standard, which is installed on almost all 50 cc models. At the front, engineers installed a telescopic fork. At the rear there is a pendulum suspension system. The shock-absorbing qualities are above average, minor bumps and holes are not scary for the scooter.
Maneuverability and controllability are at a high level, although many users respond negatively to the rigidity of the frame, which is not something new for this manufacturer. The seating position is quite high, the ride is comfortable and soft. This is facilitated by a seat with a thick layer of filler. I would also like to note the design features of Axis. A person under 2 meters tall fits perfectly on a scooter without feeling any discomfort. All switches, toggle switches and buttons are placed compactly, which is good news.
A few words need to be said about tightness. All electrical connections (terminals) are protected from water. The disadvantages include the low location of the air filter and muffler. If you drive carelessly, it is quite possible to hit the sidewalk or curb with these same elements. But in general, everything else and the characteristics of the Yamaha Axis 50 are for.

Specifications
The technical characteristics of the Yamaha vino 50 are not inferior to those of newer models of mopeds from other manufacturers. According to Yamaha experts, a filled moped tank will be enough to travel a distance of more than 200 km. The maneuverability of the scooter allows you to quickly and easily avoid obstacles. Below is a more detailed description.
Weight and dimensions
Yamaha also produces lighter scooter models compared to the Yamaha vino 50. For example, the Yamaha tricity 125 weighs only 55 kg. A very light model, but at the same time slow, which cannot be said about the retro scooters Yamaha vino 50. Their weight is 65 kg, but the power, in comparison with the Yamaha tricity, is several times higher.
The scooter itself has compact dimensions:
- length – 1620 mm;
- width – 630 mm;
- height – 1005 mm.
Engine
The model is equipped with a powerful two-stroke engine with one cylinder. Manufacturers have installed an air cooling system, which allows the scooter parts not to overheat during rapid riding. The Yamaha vino 50 scooter quickly picks up speed; if desired, the model can accelerate to 65 km/h.
A two-stroke engine with one cylinder is installed on the model
Brakes
There is a very simple mechanism at the front and rear, as befits a retro scooter - a drum brake system. They, of course, have their drawbacks, however, such a braking system can reduce the cost of transport as a whole.
Suspension
In terms of suspension, manufacturers have also not gone far from the classics. 20 years ago, preference was given to a pendulum front fork, as the most reliable and energy-intensive, so Yamaha has not moved away from such a suspension.
Shock absorber
At the rear, the scooter has a standard monoshock absorber. In this combination with the pendulum fork at the front, the driver can easily pass over uneven surfaces and potholes while the vehicle is moving.
Fuel consumption
The scooter is capable of producing a maximum power of 6.3 hp. at 7000 rpm. The fuel tank holds 6 liters. According to manufacturers, this amount of gasoline is enough to cover 250 km.
The mobility of the scooter allows you to quickly and easily avoid obstacles
Are there any disadvantages?
Like all scooters from other manufacturers, the Yamaha vino Classic has some disadvantages. Maintenance does not allow us to call this model economical for daily use. Many owners of these retro mopeds claim that it is quite difficult to purchase spare parts for vehicles. The third disadvantage of the models is that they are designed for one passenger, therefore, if you plan to travel with your loved one, doing this with the help of Yamaha vino Classic scooters is only possible with a miniature configuration of both.
In comparison with transport models from other manufacturers, the listed disadvantages are quite acceptable.
Unforgettable classic design is the main advantage of the models
Yamaha Jog Next Zone
The sports model of this modification is distinguished by high power in the class of 50 cc mopeds. It is great for city driving and was produced from 1995 to 1999. Despite the reliability and dynamism of the scooter, we can say that it gradually left the wide market due to an acute shortage of spare parts on sale.
Below are the main parameters of this scooter:
- length/width/height (along the handlebar) – 1.6/0.64/1.0 meters;
- the distance between the axles is 1.13 m;
- ground clearance - 10 centimeters;
- load capacity indicator - 150 kilograms;
- moped weight – 62 kg;
- power – 7.0 l. With. at 7000 rpm;
- compression ratio – 7.3;
- engine - 3KJ, single-cylinder, two-stroke;
- the fuel tank holds five and a half liters of gasoline;
- oil tank (volume) – 1.2 l;
In addition, the Yamaha Jog moped of this series is equipped with a front ventilated, rear drum brake and a shortened sports suspension. An undoubted advantage is that the model starts even at very low temperatures (-18 degrees).
90s - AXIS, MAJESTY, CYGNUS
And of course, Yamaha couldn’t help but work on sports scooters. One of them was AXIS in 1990. This is a high-end two-seater model with disc brakes, telescopic forks and a powerful 8.5 hp engine. Later, this model will undergo improvements more than once.
Yamaha AXIS 1990
The scooters from the MAJESTY series deserve a special mention. Having first seen the light in 1995, they are still invariably popular because they show the best performance both on highways and on city roads. In 1998, the CYGNUS 125i/D scooter appeared, which, without exaggeration, can be called a work of art.
Yamaha CYGNUS 125i
Advantages of a scooter
At the end of the review, for better clarity, we will highlight the main advantages of the scooter:
- lightness and high maneuverability;
- forced engine with liquid cooling system;
- asymmetrical steel frame, which contributes to better handling of the scooter;
- six-spoke 12-inch aluminum wheels;
- sporty look of the aerodynamic body;
- convenient and spacious luggage compartment;
- on the front wheel there is a single reinforced disc brake system;
- original dashboard and two-tone paint job.
The scooter has practically no drawbacks, because the first jog wheel appeared 27 years ago.
Benefits of Yamaha scooters
The popularity of Japanese-made scooters is rapidly increasing, and for good reason. Compared to Chinese models, they are of higher quality and more reliable, and compared to European ones, they are more affordable. Two-wheeled vehicles from two other giants, Honda and Suzuki, compete with Yamaha scooters.
Yamaha constantly modernizes and improves its products, uses innovative developments and technologies, and high-quality components in the manufacture of scooters. Just look at the super durable, environmentally friendly plastic from which the body parts are made. The only drawback of the productive, stylish Yamaha Vino scooters is the high price. But this issue was also resolved, because today high-quality used models are available. For a list of available scooters, see the catalog: YAMAHA SCOOTERS
Approximate cost of the model
For a Yamaha Jog scooter, the price is about 99 thousand rubles. This is quite an adequate amount, given the excellent handling and excellent performance provided by the ideal combination of chassis and power unit.
But here the question arises: is the Yamaha Jog RR scooter really worth that kind of money?
Experts say that this price is quite justified.
Excellent handling, good dynamics and performance are ensured here.
The style of the scooter is bright and very sporty, the chassis is in excellent condition, and fuel consumption will allow you to use this vehicle very economically.
Having paid about 99 thousand for a new model, the buyer will receive a super-maneuverable vehicle in heavy city traffic.
User manual
When purchasing a vehicle, an instruction manual for the Yamaha Vino scooter must be included.
It contains all the necessary information for the driver with attached diagrams about the scooter itself and its capabilities:
- description and technical specifications;
- general inspection and adjustment procedures;
- engine removal and disassembly;
- all information about the chassis of the model;
- detailed description of the operation of electrical equipment.
Even if a beginner purchases a moped, understanding the operation of the scooter will not be difficult at all.
Adjusting the Yamaha Jog Carburetor
Proper adjustment of the Yamaha Jog carburetor ensures long service life. Some adjustment tips:
- Before removing the carburetor, notice all connectors and connections, clean from external contaminants
- all elements are washed using only solvents and carburetor cleaners; jets, air and fuel channels are purged
- mechanical and chemical cleaning is not carried out - this leads to deformation of the dosing elements
- the fuel level in the float chamber is regulated by extending the metal float plate, which has a shut-off needle
- Normally, deposits on the spark plug are brick-colored with a light brown tint.
- By changing the damper angle they control the fuel-air mixture
- cold start has three application variations:
- mechanical (manual raising/lowering of the damper using the steering handle);
- thermomechanical (on the cylinder head there is a bimetal plate control sensor with carburetor tubes, the carburetor contains a membrane block that moves the valve through vacuum) - more often on older models;
- electronic (a mechanism that is self-adjusting and has a thermocouple);
Pros and cons of the model
The Yamaha 125 has pros and cons that should be considered before purchasing. The model has a sufficient number of advantages:
- Powerful engine.
- Responsive suspension with long travel.
- Reliable braking system.
- Low weight (about 96 kg with all liquids), as well as small dimensions.
- Comfortable driving position.
- Laconic and impressive sporty appearance.
- High quality build.
- Use of high quality materials.
- Time-tested brand reliability.
- Easy to operate.
- Low repair costs.
The motorcycle also has disadvantages, however, here drivers disagree:
- Some owners believe that the model produces weak traction at low speeds.
- High cost is also considered a disadvantage (the price of a motorcycle varies between 270-350 thousand rubles).
- Drivers who prefer to connect their lives with motorsports or constant travel choose motorcycles with a large engine capacity.
In conclusion, it must be said that the YZ 125 model is a motorcycle “for everyone”, so you should choose it taking into account your needs.
80s - BELUGA, SALIENT, CUTE, MINT, JOG, CHAMP, BOX'N, RZ50 and TRV
But this was just the beginning of Yamaha's experiments. Already in 1981, the world will see the BELUGA CV50E, in the creation of which a V-belt variator was used.
Yamaha BELUGA
The bright two-seater scooter with an 80 cm3 engine immediately became popular. Its only drawback was its weight of 75 kg. That is why a year later the company released a new model SALIENT CA50E weighing 55 kg, which allowed a woman to become its rider.
Yamaha SALIENT CA50E
In the future, Yamaha will produce more than one lightweight and comfortable model for the fairer sex. Whether it's the compact CUTE (1984), the sweet MINT (1986) or the more recent Ray, they all stand out for their comfort and excellent handling.
Peculiarities
The Japanese scooter Yamaha Jog ZR version meets most of the requirements of small sports equipment. It is worth considering that the maximum that can be achieved in terms of speed is 75 km/h with a forced engine. Consequently, in real racing events this moped can objectively participate only among equipment of an identical class. At home, the unit is produced exclusively with standard engines with a speed limit of 60 km/h.
The scooter is equipped with a powerful stepless variator, allowing maximum use of the traction of the power unit. With full tuning of a scooter, its resource is reduced by one and a half times. However, engine repair is not particularly difficult. Since sports models are purchased by fans of extreme driving, this factor plays a significant role.
Yamaha scooters today
Today, many European and Asian manufacturers are guided by the standards of Yamaha scooters. The most reliable and expensive Korean and Chinese scooters are just analogues of the “Japanese”. The manufacturer has many worthy competitors, but it is still considered that the only more reliable than the Yamaha scooter is the Yamaha scooter. Their innovative activity is amazing; no one else has introduced improvements and new products as often as this company does. And with all this, Yamaha scooters do not break. Yamaha pianos are good, but scooters are perfect.
Model features
Without exception, all scooters produced by the Japanese company Yamaha have excellent dynamics and good performance.
But the Jog RR has received even more improvements.
Now the power is higher, the scooter moves faster and it is also better in every other way.
Increased engine power, increased torque and a liquid cooling system will add even more dynamics on the road.
It is worth noting that the liquid cooling system, after passing the tests, turned out to be 25% more effective than the air one. As a result, the Yamaha Jog moped, compared to its predecessors, receives a third of the additional power and torque.
To make the most of these technical improvements, the scooter is equipped with a special model of a lightweight frame, a sports shock absorber is installed at the rear, and the wheels are larger, equipped with a tenacious rubber base and reliable brakes.
In addition, the developers did not forget to improve the design of the scooter. It acquired the sharp outlines of plastic body kits and racing graphics.
The Yamaha Jog scooter is created entirely in the spirit of sports motorcycles. The graphics here are spectacular, and the body elements have a unique racing manner.
The rear of this 50cc unit is slightly raised, sports fairings are present, and the headlights are unique.
This is what makes it stand out from its competitors.
The scooter is available in two types of colors: black and green “Midnight Black” and white and red “Competition White”.
Despite its compact size, this Japanese scooter has a double and comfortable seat.
A strong engine is enough to transport the driver and passenger. Passengers here can use folding aluminum footrests and built-in handles.
The luggage compartment is hidden under the seat. It's easy to fit small luggage and an adult helmet here.
Mobile gadgets and other things can be hidden in the front glove compartment, which is protected by a lock from unauthorized entry.
The front fairing has a well-designed shape, so the driver's feet are completely protected from splashing water during rain.
Such characteristics allow you to use the scooter for work trips, entertainment and short trips outside the city.
Modernized modification
The improved version was called Yamaha Super Jog. The restyled model is equipped with a reinforced frame of a special configuration, which has become lighter by almost four kilograms. In addition, changes affected the plastic elements of the front part, which were located at a more acute angle. They give the appearance of the moped aggressiveness and sporty features.
Technical parameters of this version:
- length/width/height – 1625/660/1020 mm;
- ground clearance - 85 mm;
- ignition type – electronic contactless unit;
- starting type – electronic/kickstarter;
- power unit - two-stroke engine with one cylinder (49 cc);
- cooling - water contour type;
- compression degree – 7.3;
- transmission unit - variator, which is aggregated through a V-belt with a working unit;
- power indicator at 7 thousand rpm – 7.0 horsepower;
- cylinder diameter/piston displacement – 40/39.2 millimeters;
- the weight of the loaded scooter is 66 kg without passengers and driver;
- load capacity – 150 kilograms;
- The volume of the fuel/oil tank is 4/1.0 liters.
Also, the scooter of this modification is equipped with a telescopic front fork and a rear shock absorber of an articulated pendulum type. The front brakes are ventilated disc brakes, the rear brakes are self-adjusting drums. The suspension allows you to increase the softness of the ride and dampen vibrations from potholes, and the braking system ensures a quick and safe stop of the vehicle.
Carburetor operation
The scooter engine is very powerful in any modification, starting from 6.3 horsepower. The Yamaha Job carburetor has a starter enricher. When the engine is cold, when it is turned on, the retracted locking action of the enricher allows the combustible mixture to enrich itself. After turning on the engine, the generator current goes to the heating element, which, when heated, expands and blocks the enrichment channel.
The existing centrifugal automatic clutch and V-belt variator determine the high-quality and durable operation of the transmission.
Cooling system: air, forced type. Air is pumped to the cylinder cooling jacket by means of a fan.
The oil pump contains a worm drive that comes from the scooter's crankshaft.
These characteristics of the Yamaha Jog scooter allow you to move off smoothly and gently, and when the speed increases to 10 km/h, it is quite brisk and quickly picked up without any special dips or catches.
Popular models
Yamaha Vino is considered one of the most popular lines. The collection includes models equipped with a two-stroke or four-stroke engine. You can choose the best options for city driving, off-road driving or taking part in sports competitions. A distinctive feature of the models is their spectacular design, which intertwines features of modern and retro styles.
- Yamaha Vino 50 (5AU). A youth model equipped with a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, the power of which reaches 6.3 horsepower, an air cooling system, and drum brakes. Even in the basic configuration, the scooter can accelerate to 70 km/h and consumes 1.64 l/100 km.
- Yamaha Vino 50 (SA10J) is a lightweight model that weighs only 65 kg. The scooter is equipped with drum brakes, a CVT gearbox, a 6-liter fuel tank and a 1.3-liter oil tank. Compared to other models from the collection, this unit consumes more fuel - 2.1 l/100 km.
- Yamaha Vino 50 (SA26J) is a stylish, aggressive scooter based on a four-stroke engine that consumes only 1.45 l/100 km and accelerates to 60 km/h. The company began producing this model in 2014. A liquid-type cooling system, carburetor, and CVT transmission are installed here.
- Yamaha Vino 50 (SA37J) FI is a presentable model, characterized by a carefully thought-out design, economical fuel consumption, and ideal for use in urban environments. It has a four-stroke engine, a liquid cooling system, and a CVT gearbox.

The scooter is capable of reaching speeds of up to 88 km/h. For a complete list of available models, see the catalog: YAMAHA VINO SCOOTERS
Detailed review
It’s nice to see when speed characteristics and excellent cross-country ability are delicately combined in one scooter. 100 cc allows you to fully experience the speed, leaving cars behind in traffic jams of the “concrete jungle”. The scooter is very maneuverable, it is easy and pleasant to drive. Even a small child can handle the controls.
Don't forget about the suspension, which has undergone long-term and high-quality work. It is necessary to note its travel: at the rear it is 55 mm, and at the front 70 mm. Delving deeper into the shock absorption system, it is necessary to say the following: all loads, vibrations and shaking from the rear are “absorbed” by the pendulum suspension, which is articulated with the engine. At the front, a standard telescopic fork is used.
A reliable braking system is one of the key positions in any vehicle, and a scooter is no exception. In this case, the developers installed disc and drum brakes at the front and rear, respectively (with a diameter of 150 mm and 130 mm).
Let's move on to the design of the sensational model. The designers have done everything possible to distinguish the Bws 100 from all other scooters in this class. They succeeded in this to the fullest. Looking at the Yamaha from the front, a non-standard solution immediately catches your eye - headlights for illumination at night. This component is made in a non-standard format; it is double. This only had a positive effect on the quality of consecration. We can safely say that the design is completely sporty. This is indicated by smooth, interesting shapes. In addition, it is worth highlighting the sports wheels and the appropriate fit. The “Japanese” is not only truly nimble, but also quite practical. There is a small luggage area at the rear, and there is a trunk under the seat. Below the steering wheel there is a glove compartment. Long trips are pleasant and comfortable with a soft, 2-seater seat. There are mirrors on the sides to control movement. A 100 cc scooter from Yamaha is an ideal purchase for young and energetic people who love fast riding.
Popular models and approximate cost
Below we will present two models of Yamaha vino classic retro scooters with a memorable retro design. The main distinguishing feature of this series of scooters is the unusual style of the 60s, which will not leave true connoisseurs of this time indifferent.
