This year, Yamaha launched the new RW Adventure Scooter family at the Milan Auto Show, positioned as the Adventure Scooter. It is obviously targeted at the crossover Scooter market dominated by the Honda ADV series. The first launch includes RW700, RW350 and other cars. It also registered a series of RW125, RW155, and RW250 trademarks, showing that there are more entry-level options.
Yamaha RW350
In addition to the RW700, RW350 and other cars that have been unveiled, Yamaha has registered trademarks such as RW125, RW155 and RW250 in Europe. Among them, the 125 and 155c.c. grades are more concerned by domestic car fans. After all, Yamaha already has the cross-border adventure scooter representative BW'S. Whether the RW125 and RW155 will replace and become a global strategic car deserves attention.
However, if we look at the global market, the more mainstream choice for cross-border adventure scooters is the keel configuration. If the RW125, RW155 and other cars are launched in the future, there is a high chance that they will also adopt the keel configuration. Targeting the Southeast Asian market with larger sales volume, the positioning will be different from BW'S, but it does not rule out the possibility of using the seventh-generation fighting platform to derive new-generation RW models.
Yamaha RW700
The new RW700 is equipped with a 689 c.c. water-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine with the same origin as the MT-07, and the Y-AMT transmission system is introduced on the Scooter for the first time, supporting manual or automatic shifting with handlebar buttons; the RW350 uses a newly developed 327 c.c. It has a water-cooled single-cylinder engine. The engine body is fixed to the frame, but the rear transmission assembly will operate like a swing arm. The two new cars are expected to be launched in various countries next year.
