Yamaha X-City

The Yamaha X-City 125/250 is a large-wheeled, fuel-injected Maxiscooter introduced in 2007, with either a 125 cc or 250 cc engine — both water-cooled, four-stroke, catalytic-converter-equipped and Euro 3 compliant. The models are internally designated VP125 and VP250, respectively, and each features a fully auto transmission.

Manufactured and assembled by Yamaha in Italy, the X-City uses engines by Minarelli and shares parts commonality with Peugeot, MBK (a Yamaha subsidiary) and other scooter manufacturers. The Y-City features a 16-inch front and 15 inch rear wheel. The X-City's underseat trunk can accommodate one helmet and has a front lockable glovebox. Instrumentation features speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature, and ambient temperature gauge with frost warning.[1] The fuel tank can hold 10.5 liters.[2]

Marketed in Europe, primarily Italy, France, Spain, UK and Germany — but not in Asia or North America — the X-City supersedes the Yamaha Varsity 300 and was itself followed by the Yamaha X-MAX. The 2009 X-City received a four-position, height adjustable windshield and a rear carrier base.
