It is a very nice scooty for daily use. It is very comfortable and provides a great ride. It's build quality is also very nice. This bike produces no emissions contributing to cleaner air which is very good for our health and daily life. It is easy to drive . Charging is cheaper than filling a gas scooter's tank.

I have owned many yamaha
I have owned many yamaha bikes , and all the time I am surprised by how the bike provides such a nice structure as well as maintain speed up to its name it's almost unbearable to know that people switch from sports to cruiser, I have had my accidents in my entirety of life of 35 years but it still hasn't been able to shake off my feeling for this fast and adventurous bike .
