Yamaha Scooter reviews

My 1991 Yamaha Riva Razz SH50 is the greatest two wheeled machine ever made. It is zippy, has a great powerband, it is super comfortable and overall is stylish. It has a dashboard with a speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, oil light, hi beam light, turn signal light and a low fuel light. Looking from a top down angle at the floorboard, dash, and seat, it almost seems like it was designed for any average car driver to simply hop on and go with little experience. It is easy to ride for beginners and super fun for advanced riders. Not to mention that the brakes can stop on a dime, and the cornering with tiny wheels and plush suspension is smooth as butter. It is an absolute wheelie machine, and it is a 2 stroke so it makes more power than lots of modern 4 strokes of equivalent size (50cc). It gets 90 miles per gallon and has an automatic fuel shutoff snd oil injection system. All you do is fill the oil tank about once a month and the gas tank once a week and you can daily it for years. Aftermarket parts are super easy to find and so are OEM. You can buy an entire OEM engine that runs for less than $300. It is just the right balance for a scooter in terms of loudness, quiet enough to not bother anyone or drown out music/traffic noise, but loud enough to provide a satisfying and energetic 2 stroke buzz. The mirrors geometry is positioned perfectly and they are nice and wide with exceptional visibility. And the hand controls are comfortable too. Generally speaking the whole bike just has 10/10 ergonomics. Also, it has kick start AND electric start. A clean Razz can be acquired for usually between 300-900 dollars in most places, and there are even versions with rear luggage cases. Though the factory luggage tie down rack in the rear is sufficient enough on it’s own. If you don’t have a Razz and are thinking about getting one, GET IT NOW. You’ll never have more fun on a 50 in your life. Show less

I had a Yamaha Zuma 50 and absolutely loved it. If I needed to service it, there is a ton of information online to help with this. This Yamaha Zuma 125, however, is junk AND you cannot find ANY information on how to fix these things online. Major fail Yamaha! Show less

I've been riding Motorcycles 45 years...and have owned many thru the years. Each type offers a specific riding experience. As for my Yamaha Morphous Scooter....Ive owned 3 Scooters...a 94 Honda Helix, a 2001 Honda Reflex and currently a 2006 Yamaha Morphous. The Helix is still to this day the KING of the Scooters. Great Storage and offersriding simplicity....The Reflex...the looks of a Sport Bike, pretty decent engine performance with the rideability of a Scooter...but sadly lacked storage. The Yamaha Morphous is THE FUTURE!! BETTER in every aspect....Ride, Engine performance (Fuel injection) Braking (Front Show less

I bought a mine of a kid who had recovered it after it was stolen from him. The would be scooter bandits had tore the ignition and gas cap a new one but over all pretty good shape. I pulled the tumblers out the ignition and re wired it, had it running that day and ive not been easy on it. Ive wrecked it close to a dozen times, of course none were ever my fault. Broke my foot on it rode it 45 miles damn near everyday to work and back. And put as much as 1000 miles on it in a months time and no compliants ive had issues crop up but nothing that shouldnt be happening after ive opened up a can of stone cold steve austin whoop a$$ on the thing for 2 and a half years.

I bought a used 2013 Vino 50 for 600 bucks off of Craigslist. Took it home and cleaned it up and it looks good. It runs good with 6,000 miles on it. I have it rigged up to carry my fishing and camping gear so off to the lake one go! Great leisure machine. Show less

It's been a great ride, until the CDI (part of the ignition system) needed replacing. Yamaha doesn't make the CDI anymore, and nobody on EBay or anywhere I search has one. Am I stuck w/ an otherwise perfectly good Vino because the CDI failed? Can anyone help? Please email me Show less

I was amazed as I pulled away from the dealership and rode this scooter home! It has quick, strong acceleration and a smooth, stable ride all the way up to 40 mph. I love this scoot! I like how it provides a bigger profile in traffic than my Honda Met and a lot more leg room than the Honda Ruckus that I had for a first scooter. A grocery peg would have been nice but I can't complain about the generous storage. The fat tires make it versatile for some rougher back road riding, which I'm prone to do. I am very pleased and find myself riding this one over my larger scooter because it's just a blast to ride! Sad that Yamaha has discontinued this model. If you see one go get it! For a 49cc it can't be beat! It's great for both shorter and tall riders and has a very comfortable seat. Show less

I recently sold my Burg 400 dog and unimpressive HD 883 Iron. I picked one of these up and I have to say this bike is pretty cool. As with most scooters, low end lacks real get up and go, but this bike really shines in the mid. Roll on the throttle at 4-5k rpm. and you will have to hold on, which is exactly what you need for powering out of the twisties, huh, go figure. Lighten the rollers in the variator and you just might unleash a monster. Show less

It's a great scooter for the money. It's cheap insurance at $100 a year. I get 132 mpg., plus it does go 40 mph. with me on it. Show less
