2006 Yamaha Vino 125 Scooter Review
by Jonathan
(Cookeville, TN)
I really enjoy my Yamaha Vino 125cc scooter, so here is my review of it. I live in a small city and commute only three miles to work. In four years, I have put over 4000 miles on my Vino.
I haven't had any mechanical problems. I have had to replace the rear tire and I take it to the local dealer for routine maintenance.
I wear a helmet and keep a spare under the seat. I often pick up my teenage sons and double them to wherever they need to go. I regularly ride through a university and the students love the Vino.
It has classic style. The Yamaha Vino 125cc will easily exceed any speed limit in town and I have hit 55-60 mph on county roads.
I was driving a Chevy Suburban when I bought the Vino, so it has just about paid for itself in fuel savings alone. I fill up about every ten days and it costs less than $2.50.
I ride it to the office, to the hospital, and to church. I park on the sidewalk wherever I go and I never get in a hot car.
I talk to more folks on the road. The scooter is fun to drive and I get around town a lot faster than I do in my Jeep. I do recommend the optional windshield for the Vino 125. The windshield blocks bugs and rain. It also cuts down cold wind in winter.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
