2014 Yamaha Zuma 125, 2014 Yamaha Zuma 125 SCOOTER TIME! The Zuma 125 scooter is the ultimate modern convenience with fuel injection, a smooth running and quiet 4-stroke engine that pumps out plenty of power to get you around town ... or wherever you might need to go. Features That tough off-road look isn t just for looks: the strong steel frame; fat, aggressive tires; oiled-type air filters; beefy shocks front and rear and off-road style brush deflectors make this scooter at home on unpaved roads while delivering all the attitude you could want for the street. 125cc 4-stroke engine with 4 valves, a 10:1 compression ratio, ceramic-composite cylinder plating, and electronic fuel injection gives this Zuma excellent performance. Fully automatic C.V. transmission and pushbutton electric starting make the Zuma super-convenient transportation. Both center and side stands, along with a locking cover on the ignition switch, make it convenient to park, too. There s room for two atop this Zuma s seat, and lots of locking storage beneath it. The Zuma 125 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 89 mpg** with a fuel tank that holds 1.6 gallons of gas. Two bright halogen headlights light the way following current sportbike practice, the left side provides the 55W low beam while the right side is the 60W high beam. For extra security when parked, the main switch is equipped with a key hole lock cover. The underseat storage compartment s cavernous 5.2-gallon capacity is roomy enough for a full-face helmet. The Zuma 125 s easy-to-read analog speedometer is flanked by a fuel gauge and indicator lights.

Thu, 02 May 2013

The economic downturn hit the motorcycle world particularly hard, as many factory-backed road racing efforts closed shop. The decision, while unfortunate, isn’t hard to understand, as racing at the highest levels isn’t cheap, and a factory involvement means added pressure to succeed, which ultimately means spending more money to do so. Through it all, however, Yamaha has remained involved with the sport, fielding factory teams and sponsoring various riding schools and even racetracks.

Fri, 19 Feb 2010

ANOTHER CRACKING BIT of vintage racing footage, this time featuring multiple motorcycle world champion Phil Read on the awesome-sounding MV Agusta 500-4.The footage is from the 1974 movie 'The Iron Horse' made by Frenchman Pierre-William Glenn.Read’s 1974 500cc World Championship victory was the last year a four-stroke won the world title before the advent of the MotoGP class in 2002. Giacomo Agostini won the crown from Yamaha in 1975, followed by Suzuki-mounted Barry Sheene in '76 and '77. The footage is bloody good, considering the camera technology of the day.
