Small Medium and Large Yamaha Scooters Reviews

My Yamaha scooters reviews are all positive... I started out years ago with a 50cc Yamaha Jog. Then I went up a size to a 125cc, then up to the 200cc... and most recently the Vino 125.

I'm a big girl and I never had an acceleration problem with any of them. Basically I never had any problem with a Yamaha that I didn't cause myself. I scratched 'em, wrecked 'em and had them stolen! Hearing off brands have trouble suprised me, because my Yamaha never ever broke down.

The Vino 125 was pretty but couldn't handle a windshield, which I found mandatory after I didn't have one. The little hook for the helmet seemed weak but storage was never a problem. When I had groceries, I tied two plastic bags together with a third bag. Then I slung them over between the seat and the back basket like saddle bags.

If I was fully loaded in the back, I'd swing a pair over both shoulders and zip home. I actually took dining room chairs home two at a time stacked on the back of my basket on a 125! Ah Youth!

The little 50ccs are great because you can drag 'em up on the sidewalk real easy. If you drop it getting it put right again is a cinch. Clock the speed of traffic where you drive. In SF, CA traffic never goes above 35 mph. In Vallejo the traffic routinely goes higher than 35 mph so a little bike there wouldn't be much good.

I actually decided, that in my opinion, SF CA is the best scooter city in the US and a lot of other places suck. Thus I am driving a truck...

Another issue is resale value. The Yamaha holds its value. Sure it will depreciate a bit, but have you ever tried to buy one new? They aren't cheap. Folks know what they have and the market bears them out. Ya can't go wrong with a Yamaha scooter!
