Recently, Yamaha announced that they will be coming out with a gearless scooter for India very soon, and this will be targeted in the 100-125cc class. Well, Yamaha does make scooters in this capacity, but which one of these will be for India?
In UK, Yamaha sells three scoots in the 125cc class : The X-MAX 125, the Cygnusx and the Vity. Now, the X-Max will be too much for India, and so we are left with the Cygnusx and the Vity.
The CYGNUS-X
It is sold in a 125cc version in UK. The 125cc version pumps out 11Ps of power and weighs in at around 115kgs - not bad! Whats bad is that it sells for around Rs 1,10,000! Err..

Then we have the Vity 125.
Pumping out a modest 8.7 ps of power, it still looks better than the likes of the Honda Activa sold in India.
And in Japan, the 100cc version is the Grand Axis 100
A sweet looking scooter, it pumps out 10ps of power, and weighs just 90kgs! It sells for around 52000 bucks in Japan, quite less than the other scoots (like the 125cc ones). You do get a lot for this money, including a front disc brake! If Yamaha can make this scoot locally, and price it at around 40,000 (sans some of the features of the Japan version), then they do have a winner on their hands.
