2010 Yamaha Scooters

Discover the new Yamaha scooter range for 2010. From fun 50cc run-arounds to muscular 500cc models built for the open road, the 2010 range is ready to speed riders of all types into the new decade.

Leading the way are the TMAX WHITE MAX – a special 10th Anniversary edition of the iconic TMAX – and the powerful urban style of the new BW’s 125. Elsewhere across the range, a wide selection of models have been updated to include new colours and graphics.

TMAX WHITE MAX: Yamaha celebrates 10 years of the TMAX

In 2000, the first TMAX revolutionised the scooter market. By combining the low centre of mass that makes a scooter so easy to ride with the performance, handling and road presence of a sports touring motorcycle, Yamaha created a unique vehicle – as happy on the highway as it is on busy city streets. It went on to achieve unrivalled popularity throughout Europe.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this landmark in scooter design, Yamaha is proud to unveil the new TMAX WHITE MAX. Combining unique, special edition styling with the same performance and power that have made the TMAX a market leader for the last ten years, this is a very special machine.

Unique styling

A striking, one-off white colour scheme accentuates the dynamic, sporty lines of the TMAX WHITE MAX, making a dramatic statement as you glide past in sharp, aerodynamic style. Special edition graphics and luxurious anodised metal parts lend the TMAX WHITE MAX an individual look, completed by a distinctive two-tone seat design and polished titanium-coloured rims with bronze centres.

The styling continues on the inside of the TMAX’s sculpted cockpit area, with white illuminated meters that sit perfectly with the unmistakable TMAX bodywork.
The trademark ‘twin eye’ headlight arrangement and sharp rear light cluster ensure the TMAX WHITE MAX looks as impressive in a rear view mirror as it does accelerating into the distance. A high windshield and aerodynamic bodywork offer excellent weather protection, keeping the elements at bay. At the rear, the exhaust muffler is positioned high, in true sportsbike style, and emits a throaty growl.

Sportsbike performance

The TMAX WHITE MAX’s sports bike performance is the result of its exceptional engine design. The horizontally-mounted, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve, parallel twin-cylinder 499cc engine offers the responsiveness to accelerate in the city, and is just as comfortable with long cruises out of town. Providing 43.5PS of power and 46.4 Nm of torque, there is great acceleration from standstill as well as at medium speeds. And with smooth automatic V-Belt transmission, it’s as easy to ride as any scooter.

Motorcycle-style handling

Key to the TMAX WHITE MAX’s motorcycle-like handling is its exceptional frame design and engine position, which deliver handling unlike any other scooter. Constructed from a mix of extruded and cast aluminium sections, using Yamaha’s exclusive CF die-casting technology, the TMAX WHITE MAX’s chassis has an ideal rigidity balance that delivers excellent, motorcycle-like handling and stability while minimising weight.

Maximum comfort

The wheels and suspension of the TMAX WHITE MAX ensure great handling and superb rider comfort. The large, 15inch wheels provide great stability and a quick steering response, while sturdy 43mm diameter front forks keep the front wheel tracking straight over poor surfaces. Strong rear shocks provide brilliant damping over bumps and irregularities in the road.

For an extra feeling of security, the TMAX WHITE MAX features a powerful 267mm rear disc brake and a 267mm, double-disc front brake with the same four-pot mono block brake calipers used in Yamaha sports and touring motorcycles. The result is smooth, strong stopping power at any speed. The TMAX WHITE MAX is also available with ABS brakes for improved stopping in exceptionally bad weather conditions.

Long-distance luxury

For longer trips, two glove compartments provide generous and easily accessible storage – including a cardholder for items such as toll tickets. Additionally, the large underseat compartment – which opens to the rear for easy access – is hinged on gas struts like a car boot. And since it’s illuminated, it’s simple to find your belongings in the dark.

Lucky TMAX WHITE MAX passengers will enjoy the ride too. The large, luxurious sculpted seat, fold-out foot rests and sturdy grab rails make riding two-up a pleasure, and the TMAX WHITE MAX’s power and torque mean it won’t struggle with additional weight. A large, 15-litre capacity fuel tank makes the TMAX WHITE MAX an ideal distance tourer, suitable for long rides and weekends away.

The TMAX WHITE MAX is only available in Competition White.

BW’s 125: Do anything, go anywhere – city commuting with added punch

New for 2010, the BW’s 125 ensures that even on the longest, hardest runs, commuting doesn’t have to be a chore. Agile and responsive, this uniquely styled and attitude-filled BW’s-series scooter offers a 125cc, 4-stroke, fuel injected air-cooled engine – giving you the power and punch necessary to negotiate the trickiest traffic.

Agile handling

The agile BW’s 125 tackles whatever the day throws at you: from tight, twisting back roads to busy urban high streets.

Big, wide, all-terrain style 12inch tyres ensure you maintain a great connection with the road, whether it’s a cobbled street or a wet gravel path. Great levels of balance, grip and ride comfort mean you can easily handle any weather and conditions. Off-road grade dual rear shock absorbers take you smoothly over any potholes the city serves up.

The heavy-duty frame is built to withstand the demands of a daily commute in rush-hour traffic, and is matched with an extra-wide handlebar for great control and flexibility, making it easier to negotiate jams. A short wheelbase makes the BW’s 125 exceptionally agile and simple to manoeuvre in tight city streets.

Good looks for a rugged city commute

The masculine, rugged, good looks of the new BW’s 125 – complete with heavy-duty exposed frame, dynamic dual headlights, striking graphics and a specially-designed logo – are the ideal complement to city living, whether commuting to work or enjoying a weekend ride with friends.

Extra design touches include an artfully designed instrument panel, which gives you vital machine information at a glance, and ample underseat storage for a full-face helmet.

Punchy engine with fewer emissions

The BW’s 125 has the power and performance to back up its rugged, urban looks.
The 125cc, 4-stroke, fuel injected, air-cooled engine offers immediate acceleration whenever you turn the throttle, ensuring you have the power to overtake safely and pull away from the lights with confidence. Combined with the grippy tyres and easy handling, it creates the kind of riding character that was made for cities.

Electronic Fuel Injection reduces emissions and also makes the engine incredibly efficient, so it’s easier on your pocket, too.

Added convenience

Designed to be shared, the BW’s 125 features a comfortable pillion seat for two-up riding. The power of the 125cc engine – plus the easy handling offered by the extra wide handlebars, short wheelbase, grippy tyres and off-road grade dual rear shock absorbers - mean that even with a passenger on the back, your journey will be smooth and simple.

And on top of this, Yamaha’s renowned engineering know-how keeps maintenance down to a minimum. You can trust the BW’s 125 to take you anywhere you want to go – always looking good, and always on time.
