2009 Yamaha Vino Classic

The 2009 Yamaha Vino Classic is a European style scooter by a Japanese maker at a great American price. The 49cc classic features a four-stroke, single piston engine, dependable electric starting with an optional kick starter, and a spacious locking storage compartment that is perfect for backpacks and groceries. The Vino Classic achieves a fuel economy rating of 110 mpg with a fuel tank that holds 1.2 gallons of gas, so it is as easy on the pocketbook as it is on the eyes.

The wide, thickly padded single seat is comfortable and sleek, and the rear wheel lock device helps prevent theft by locking the rear wheel and making it harder to move the scooter. The device also covers the ignition switch to prevent tampering. An easy-to-read instrument panel features a turn signal indicator, and high-beam and low-oil lights. The 2009 Yamaha Vino Classic is the perfect around-town or campus bike, an economical form of transportation that keeps the spirit of true European styling. The MSRP starts at $2,099.
