Motor Scooter 250cc VS Motor Sport 250cc

http://www.scooterworldkc.com/images/SYM-RV-250cc-Gas-Motor-Scooter.jpeg 
Kids today really want to be different from using a sports 250cc motorcycle on the road. They think will look cool when viewed by the girls. Humph but this effect may be cool in people in Asia but different in European. It crossed my mind to the motor scooters 250cc..

In Europe and America area may be different, why it’s funny isn’t it, I think it’s cool but still funny haha.. Because most people in Asia are more interested in the form of a sport bike 250cc than scooter 250cc.
Another case with people in the area of Europe and America, they are more interested in force and speed motor scooters to 250cc, Try to look back, they could only know a few industrial products manufactured in Japan and China, but I personally think 250cc moped scooter products are more reliable products of Japanese manufacturing. But China compared with their 250cc motor sports style.
Why this and why you think? so try it yourself, try the product and style you think of most people from very different parts of the world. This will keep the competitiveness of each product are very crowded 250cc MotoGP touring motor scooter.

Therefore, differences in the style of children in Asia and Europe are also very different from America, in Asia might Yamaha motor scooters 250cc product, 250cc Honda scooter in Europe and America, but they are more familiar with Ducati motor sport, yes yes that’s why distinct difference.
Where do you think of a more reliable and cool, force people Asia whether European and American style so it’s up to you who judge ! Asia, Europe and America is very different, but it still has the style and attitude of each other, motor scooters 250cc or just minies scooters. Check about motor scooters 2011.

Yamaha Reveals 4-Stroke Zuma 50F Scooter


UAC.com - Yamaha adds a pair of scooters to its 2012 lineup
The all-new Zuma 50F sports a familiar 49cc displacement, but now with 4-stroke power and incredible 132 mpg claims. The second scoot is the 395cc Majesty, which returns to the Yamaha lineup after a 2011 absence.
2012 Yamaha Zuma 50F
The Zuma 50F is an all-new model for the Yamaha scooter lineup, keeping the appearances of its Zuma 2-stroke kin but utilizing a 49cc 4-stroke Single for power.

Yamaha Zuma 50F

The big news on the Zuma 50F is its 4-stroke Single. The three-valve single overhead cam design is similar to the 49cc engine powering Yamaha’s C3 scooter. Electronic fuel injection feeds the new Zuma’s mill, with internal dimensions measuring a 38mm bore by 43.6mm stroke. A fully automatic V-belt transmission delivers idiot-simple, gas-and-go operation to the economical scoot.

The Zuma 50F makes use of a steel-tube framed chassis, with a 42mm front fork and single rear shock. Braking of the claimed 205-pound curb weight comes via a  single 180mm disc front and a rear drum, the new Zuma rolling on 10-inch wheels (120/90 tire profiles) front and rear.

The staggeringly high 132 mpg claim is a dyslexic bettering of the 2-stroke Zuma’s 123 mpg fuel economy. That claimed efficiency nets a near 160-mile range from the 50F’s 1.2 gallon tank. Yamaha touts the new Zuma can be refueled without opening the seat, a convenient feature. Once opened, however, the 23-liter storage capacity is promised to be large enough to store an XL full-face helmet.

Overall the new Zuma retains the same styling lines of its 2-stroke doppelganger, including the dual headlamps and short fender up front. Red accents, like the front single-piston caliper and rear shock spring, inject a bit of flair into the design.

Expected in dealerships sometime in September, the Zuma 50F retails for $2490 and is available in Raven, Yamaha Blue/White or Alpine White colorways.

Yamaha Majesty
2012 Yamaha Majesty
Yamaha's 395cc Majesty maxiscoot returns to the company's 2012 model line after a one-year absence.

Absent from the 2011 Yamaha scooter lineup, the middleweight Majesty returns for 2012. Powered by a liquid-cooled 395cc Single, the Majesty brings freeway capability with scooter convenience. The fuel injected 467-pound scoot claims 50 mpg efficiency, good for 185 miles from its 3.7 gallon tank.

Nothing’s changed from the 2010 Majesty specsheet as it still utilizes an aluminum frame, 41mm fork and dual rear shocks. A 14-inch front and 13-inch rear tire return as well, along with the dual disc braking package – a single 267mm disc front and rear. In fact, the only thing that’s changed since ‘10 is the colorway (charcoal) and a modest increase in MSRP to $6750.

The 2012 Majesty is slated for U.S. dealer floors this August.

Honda New Mid Concept in Action

Latest honda mid concept scooter
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/10/honda_dn-01_lo.jpg
The first action pics of Honda's New Mid Concept reveal a giant scooter sporting a pillion and full touring luggage.
Honda’s perplexing New Mid Concept has finally been spied in action. The scooter-ish prototype was photographed road testing along with the forthcoming Crosstourer adventure-touring mount and another mystery model – which appears to be a CBF entry-level mount making use of Honda’s dual-clutch transmission.
http://bikerscafeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/5142029039_f90316640e_b-540x364.jpg
Spy shot specialists Brenda Priddy & Company acquired the photos after the three rides were seen testing in Europe this past week. The spy photo doesn’t exactly clarify the nebulous market segment targeted by the NMC, as it was seen testing with a two-up pillion, as well as saddlebags and a topcase. Shall we all hail a new sport-scooter-touring class anyone?

The New Mid Concept was one of three prototypes introduced by Honda at the 2010 EICMA Milan Bike Show. Difficult to classify, Honda PR described Mid Concept as a model that “reinvents the way we look at two-wheeled travel.” The grandiose statement was applied to a what looked to us like a giant near step-thru maxiscoot – something along the lines of the Yamaha T-MAX. (Stay tuned, by the way, for MotoUSA’s first-ever maxiscoot comparison review, which is currently in the works.)


Honda-New-Mid-Concept-Spy.jpg
The camouflaged prototype shares the same silhouette as the NMC revealed at Milan. The prototype reveals feet-forward maxi-scoot ergos and rolls on what appear to be motorcycle-spec wheel sizes. The initial Milan concept touted conventional 17-inch wheels, though the prototype’s spoke pattern differs from the concept and looks identical to the hoops adorning the reputed dual-clutch equipped CBF also snapped by BP&C.
