(Awww!  Who wouldn’t be proud to have a new baby Zuma?)

Talked to my local Yammy dealer and he said he’s expecting the brand new 4-stroke Zuma to hit the floors any day now.  There’s a big difference between the Zuma of old and the new, namely the fact that this one is a cleaner burning, higher compression, larger displacement, bigger disc, dual rear shock, bigger tire, fuel injected 4-stroke.  She’s also a tiny bit larger than her 2-stroke sibling with a larger price tag (+$800 difference).

Look for her in Yamaha Blue and White, Raven, and Bright Yellow.

Oh and one more difference.  The 50cc 2-stroker get’s a reported 123 mpg and this new 125cc gets 89 mpg.  I’m most curious to see the performance differences on the road… and by performance I mean speed.

    Ahhh, well you will but for some reason they call it the BW’s for Canada. I thought they only called it “BW’s” overseas.

    I have an 05 Zuma with 14,000 miles on it. I can’t say enough good things about the low maintenance,availability of upgrades, and reliability of the Zuma. Still I wish the 125 Zuma was a bit faster. I want my next scooter to do more than just keep up with traffic.

    I’m interested in the Zuma 125, as we haven’t a Kymco dealer in our area. Seems like it’d make for a capable commuter/ errand runner and resale vaule would be good, with the Yamaha name behind it..
