The highly-popular Yamaha X-Max 300
maxi-scooter, a Honda Forza 300 rival, has received a new variant called the
Roma Edition. The Yamaha X-Max 300 Roma Edition is available in Italy and its
sales are limited to 130 units. The COVID-19 has impacted the entire world on a
huge scale. Italy is one of the first and worst affected countries in the
world. To curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus, the Italian Government had
put the entire nation under lockdown. However, as things are slowly returning
to normal, the lockdown restrictions have been eased. People have started
coming out of their homes while following the necessary guidelines.
The Yamaha X-Max 300 Roma Edition is a
homage to the Eternal City of Rome where 3 lakh scooters used to run on the
roads every day before COVID-19. The company said that to create this limited
edition it imagined a modern gladiator, athletic sportsman who’s proud of this
city and whose daily challenge is the ‘metropolitan arena’; an individual with
the desire, courage and strength to start again.
Designed by the Yamaha Motor R&D
Europe Design Division in Gerno di Lesmo, Italy, the X-Max 300 Roma Edition
features the streets of Rome on the front fairing and a silhouette of the
famous Colosseum on the rear cowl. The limited-edition maxi-scooter has
aluminium footrests and a sporty front windscreen as well.
Like the standard Yamaha X-Max 300, the
limited-edition model draws power from a 292 cc single-cylinder engine. This
liquid-cooled mill produces 28 PS of maximum power at 7250 rpm and
generates peak torque of 29 Nm at 5750 rpm.
The Yamaha X-Max 300 Roma Edition is available for sale from today, 29
May 2020, for a price of EUR 5,999. The limited-edition model
is EUR 200 more expensive than the standard model, which costs
EUR 5,799.
