2016 Yamaha Janus
The 2016 Yamaha Janus will be
launched in Vietnam this month, and its the first ever Yamaha scooter to feature
engine ‘stop-start’. Targetted at female riders, the Janus combines Yamaha’s
“Blue Core” fuel-saving engine design philosophy to provide an environmentally
conscious ride.
This budget segment scooter was developed under the “basic scooter with
pride” for the female rider in her twenties. Sporting a 125 cc single-cylinder
engine, the Janus produces 9.5 PS at 8,000 rpm and 9.6 Nm torque at 5,500 rpm.
Rolling on 14-inch wheels, the Janus
weighs in at 97 kg, and there is a 14-litre storage compartment under the seat
that can hold two half-shell helmets and rain gear. Smart Key system is also
standard fitment, increasing security.
The 2016 Yamaha Janus price is VND 27.5
million with a projected sales figure of 100,000 units. Two other
models – the Janus Deluxe and Janus Premium – will be launched in November, but
no pricing or specifications were provided.
