Yamaha Scorpio Motorcycle 2011 Review

By  Last updated: 29th March 2011

There’s nothing like the feel of a new bike. The smell, the tight feel, the warranty… so why buy used? Scorpio is proof that you can buy a highly manoeuvrable commuting package that’s surprisingly good fun, and super economical, for the same money as buying used. Scorpio has a strong, reliable four-stroke SOHC engine that – being a Yamaha – you know is going to last.

Features

The lightweight chassis, super responsive steering and easy-to-use controls make the Scorpio a simple, no fuss commuter that’s cheap, efficient, and most of all, fun.
No fuss ultra reliable electric starting comes with rock solid kick-start back up.
A 13.5 litre fuel tank capacity maximises range between stops, and with Scorpio’s frugal appetite, you’ll be surprised at how far you get.
Low, 770mm seat height allows most riders to put both feet on the ground allowing confident and easy car park manoeuvrability.
Incredibly low 124kg dry weight contributes significantly to Scorpio’s easily handling, and superb low-speed agility.
A twin piston, large-diameter front disc and sealed rear drum brakes provides Scorpio a beefed up stopping solution and consistent modulation in all weather conditions.
Single-sided exhaust emits a satisfying note without being overly noisy, and features chromed heat shield.
Comfortable pillion seating and footpegs mean Scorpio adapts to your lifestyle.
