Japanese automaker Yamaha has introduced the Vinoora 125 scooter in the Vietnamese market. It is unlikely to arrive in India anytime soon. The two-wheeler has a funky design with a distinctive Minion-like front fascia. Other highlights of the vehicle include a fully-digital instrument cluster, 10-inch alloy wheels, and an 8hp, 125cc engine. Here's our roundup.
It has a kerb weight of 94kg
The Yamaha Vinoora 125 features a quirky design with googly-eyed dual headlamps, a metal grille, a beak-shaped front apron, a single-piece flat-type seat, and a pillion grab rail. It also offers a fully-digital instrument console, a USB charging port, the company's Smart Start system, and rides on 10-inch alloy wheels. The scooter tips the scales at 94kg.
The vehicle runs on a 125cc, air-cooled engine
The Yamaha Vinoora 125 is fueled by a 125cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine which generates around 8hp of power and 9.7Nm of peak torque. The scooter has a claimed fuel efficiency of 57.7km/liter.
It has a disc brake on the front side
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Yamaha Vinoora 125 is equipped with a disc brake on the front and a drum brake on the rear wheel. However, there is no ABS on offer. Suspension duties on the two-wheeler are taken care of by a telescopic fork on the front side and a single shock absorber on the rear end.
