Wayne's Opinion
2005.01.31 - Vancouver, CANADA
It's a very popular model in Japan because Vino is YAMAHA's 1st retro styled scooter, powered with evolutional JOG 3KJ engine and easy on everything, so it successfully attracted lots of female riders.

The North America model was first released in USA with restrictions on pulley, exhaust and cylinder, then Canadian version is using same restrictions, the engine is slightly different with Japanese 5AU version on some parts, stock speed is *50km/hr maximum (2004 model). By de-restrict pulley and exhaust only, top-end speed could run up to *68km/hr (2004 model). However the handling is not great because narrow 80/90-10 tires, the controling is poor because the steering bar design and bottom link forks.

There are lots of aftermarket parts let you play with YAMAHA Vino 2-Stroke, upgrades such as: cylinder, transmission, exhaust, carburetor, tire, plug, shock, light, and performance kit. You can also swap the whole engine to JOG or AXIS 90cc and maximize it to 150cc with professional processing, you may consider about front Disc Brake System installed at the same time. The average Retail Price for this scooter in North America should be around USD $1,700 ~ $1,800 plus applicable taxes only.
