2008 Yamaha Scooter reviews

I loved my Vino 125. It had the get up and go speed but it did start to drag after 45 mph. I had the top speed at 65 mph down hill, 50 up hill and 55 on the straight away. It's great for around town. I even took it on the highway for about 50 miles and had no trouble. It's a lot of fun. I traded it for a Majesty 400CC. I wanted more power but the Vino was enough power for me. It has great handling manuevers. It's excellent, it's just an easy riding bike and turns a lot of heads. Even the die-hard Harley fans loved my Vino 125. From 0 to 45 it has a lot of zip. I was getting about 80 mpg. I wish I never traded it. The Majesty was a great upgrade but didn't manuever like the Vino. I totalled the Majesty three weeks after I bought it. I wasn't used to the power difference. But in my opinion you can't go wrong with any Yamaha product. Plus Yamaha has no problem getting parts. Show less

The more my wife and I ride it the better it gets. For a 250cc sized bike it is pretty peppy. I've had it up to 81mph and can cruise ALL day at 65mph with me on it. Also I often get 65 mpg. The best was 71 mpg. When going fast, it really doesn't vibrate like my V-Twin motorcycles. With the long wheelbase and low height - this bike is very stable. Show less

I BOUGHT MY 2007 MORPHOUS BRAND NEW IN 2008 AND HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. THE LOOKS, STARES AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT you're RIDING IS GREAT. NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE IT BEFORE AND KIND OF WEIRD TO HAVE A ONE OF A KIND IN THIS AREA. IF YOU WANT A 250CC BUY A MORPHOUS, YOU'LL NEVER LOOK BACK. Show less

Over the past 6 years, I've owned and ridden a Honda Jazz (called Metropolitan in United States), for 4 years, and 3 different small, street motorcycles. After my last long motorcycle ride, I decided that I should maybe consider a scooter again, mainly because of the seating position, and comfort of the scooter versus a motorbike. I found the C3 and after a bit of research, bought a 2007 model, with just over 900km on it. I've only had it for a few days, but I already love it. Compared to the Honda Jazz (Metropolitan), it's got more pep, more storage, and looks overall larger, more in proportion with an adult rider. I am very happy with my decision to get the C3. I will post another review after I've had it for a while. Show less

OK, here's the deal. If you are planning on getting a 250cc scooter then look everywhere you can for a new or used Morphous. This scoot is just head and shoulders above all the rest. It is quiet, handles great, corners with the best of them, is smooooth as glass and the most comfortable bike I've ever personally ridden or owned and that's been many. It's long wheelbase makes for a wide turning circle and is heavier than any other 250 that I know of but that's part of what gives it such a great ride and also you don't blow around on the highway. I've had my scoot up to 82 MPH with more throttle to go but I chickened out at that point. It moves quickly from a traffic light and for me has all the 'grunt' I'd ever need. Because it has such an original design be prepared to get stared at frequently and asked lots of questions. Such a shame Yamaha never properly tried to sell or advertise them here. If more people had known about them they'd still be bringing them into the USA. Show less

This is a great scooter. It gets great gas mileage. I've saved a lot of money with this thing. It's not as costly as my truck and four-wheeler that's why I ride this thing the most. I can hold tools and cameras and my iPod and riding gear plus still have extra room for groceries. This thing is so much fun and the quickest 50 factory-wise on the market. Keep up on tune ups and oil changes and this thing will run 50 miles per hour and bury the speedometer. The bike has great handling and is a good machine. Show less

Some people laugh at me for riding a scooter instead of a motorcycle, but this really is almost a motorcycle! At 395cc, this is no moped; it's a cool bike! And I get from 55-59 MPG, so I ride it everywhere, unless I have to carry too much or the weather is crappy. And speaking of carrying stuff, the underseat storage is positively cavernous. I even ride my scooter to the grocery store and come home with at least 2 paper grocery bags worth of stuff!! It's a gas-and-go, so no shifting required. that's nice if you're like me and not coordinated enough to manage the shifter, clutch, brake, and throttle all at the same time. Show less

It keeps up with traffic, rides well in rain and is heavy enough that wind gusts don't blow you all over the road. It has precise fits on compartments and trim. It has four compartments (including glove compartment and trunk with two more under seat) and rides like a dream. I am proud to be an owner. P.S. It gets lots of looks and compliments. Show less

I have been riding this since early April and have enjoyed it since. I have gone on treks for about 50 miles at one time and have not had any problems it just runs and does what you need it to do. I will say that I am ordering a gel seat for mine just for that little extra cush. Show less

This is my fifth scooter in last two years. It is by far the best. It has solid, high quality design and construction. I ride with my pals who all have motorcycles and I have no trouble keeping up with them, and actually do better in the twisties than some of the bigger bikes I ride with. It is a very comfortable ride. You can't go wrong with Majesty 400! Show less
