Yamaha Reveals 4-Stroke Zuma 50F Scooter
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
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
The first action pics of Honda's New Mid Concept reveal a giant scooter sporting a pillion and full touring luggage.
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.)
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.

Primavera Helmet for Scooter Generation Today

The Primavera helmet revives a legendary past and represents the birth of the new brand NZI by Hess Design. In its design and performance the helmet plays with citations and references to the exceptional Vespa 50 Special, the style icon of the 70`s. The minimalistic aesthetics of the Primavera refers directly to the mystic Vespa-models of the 70`s. These style icons were the base for the new developed helmet with its innovative features and its easy and safe use. New standards in terms of urbanity and innovation are set by creating a complete Primavera edition containing helmet, gloves and scarves.


Sportiness, dynamic and elegance in all their plainness are the key features of the Primavera. Clearly defined lines that are reduced to the essence underline the character and style consciousness. Their forms and their flow give hints to some new key features. The front of the Primavera with its playful swinging lines and the decorative air-inlets refer to hairstyles and hat fashion of the 60`s. The rear section with its metallic air-outlets rather speaks an automotive language and makes sure the helmet in its appearance is well-balanced. The 180° rotatable visor marks the heart of the helmet. Different shaped and toned visors can be attached to the patented helmet fixation tool-free via magnetic system in just a second.
The fusion of traditional, classical elegance with young, fresh and easy streetwear effects an exciting and charming impression. Deep satisfaction and intimate gratification will be experienced by every Primavera user. Desire of spring, desire of style awakes in all seekers of beauty. Primavera represents the initial of a new lifestyle that can be lived. Primavera, the helmet for the high tech community of tomorrow.
