New: Yamaha RW700 — the first adventure scooter
With the RW family Yamaha opens a new segment: scooters with genuine adventure DNA. The RW700 is the heart of the range — a motorcycle–scooter crossover that rides as easily as a scooter in town and does not have to turn back where the tarmac ends.
The engine is an old friend. 689 cc, two cylinders, 51 kW (69.3 PS) and 65 Nm — the CP2 you know from the MT-07 and the Ténéré 700. Proven, strong from low revs, easy to service. A 35 kW version is available for the A2 licence.
Six gears, no clutch lever. Instead of a CVT the RW700 uses Yamaha's automated manual transmission Y-AMT: a real six-speed gearbox that shifts by itself or lets you shift manually. Power reaches the rear wheel through a chain — just like on a motorcycle.
A chassis for more than tarmac. Upside-down fork, 160 mm of travel at the front and 155 mm at the rear, a 17-inch front wheel and Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. The footpegs are adjustable and the footboards fold away, so you can ride standing up off-road like on an enduro.
Electronics from the big bikes. Six-axis IMU, YRC riding modes with separate road and off-road settings, a 5-inch TFT with Garmin navigation and the MyRide app.
Key figures:
- Seat height 810 mm
- Weight, ready to ride with a full tank: 221 kg
- 14-litre tank, 4.1 l/100 km according to Yamaha
- Colours: Sage Blue and Power Grey
Who is it for? For anyone who commutes during the week and wants to take the gravel detour at the weekend — without choosing between scooter comfort and a motorcycle chassis. If you want more equipment for long tours, have a look at the RW700 Explore.
