The Yamaha XMAX 400 scooter could easily manage 70mph, with some riders achieving 90mph. It was discontinued in 2020 due to European emissions standards.
If you’re a motocross fan, the first bike that probably comes to mind when you think of Yamaha Corporation is the YZ450F and the YZ250, thanks to their long history of success in motocross racing. Still, the bike maker has a hand in every facet of the world of motorcycles with popular offerings such as the FZ range of premium 150cc commuter bikes and the MT-15 series of motorcycles. The Japanese bike maker has also made headway in four-wheeler territory, building high-performance engine blocks for Toyota, Volvo, and even Ford’s special Taurus SHO V6 engine.
While Vespa and Honda dominate the scooter market, Yamaha has a strong presence in the market, especially in the maxi-scooter segment. It has a wide range of popular offerings from smaller 125cc and 155cc scooters, mid-tier 250cc to 400cc scooters, and even high-end 500cc options.
