No. 2 - Yamaha Zuma X
You must check out the Yamaha Zuma X if you're looking for a great urban scooter. Similar to its twin (BW's 50), it delivers a comfortable ride on rough city streets thanks to a fairly soft suspension and wide tires (even though they wrap small, 10” wheels). Takeoffs are nothing out of the ordinary, but once you get to 50 km/h, the engine quickly jumps to 60-65km/h and has no trouble maintaining that speed, even when going uphill. The Zuma X will appeal to novices as well as urbanites looking for a compact, do-it-all two-wheeler. At $2,899, it also boasts good value.
