Yamaha D'elight 114cc scooter enters into European market

Front and rear of Yamaha D'elight

Yamaha has just added a new scooter in a rather extravagent fleet of performance scooters in the European market. Yamaha global lineup consists of scooter ranges from puny 50cc to monstrous 350cc performance scooter. Their latest addition is a light, peppy, retro styled  114cc Yamaha D'elight .

D'elight profile

The scooter is plunked with a nippy 114cc air cooled 4-stroke YMJET-FI (Yamaha Mixture Jet-Fuel Injection) engine that delivers 7.7 Nm of torque which is more than enough to pull the 98kg scooter.

D'elight three-quarters

The retro styling of the scooter complete with handlebar mounted eye shaped headlamps is a clear indication that this product is pitted against the likes of Vespa LX 125. The scooter also has modern elements to it 180mm disc brakes, integrated tail light and rear indicators, flush fitting streamlined front turn indicators, 3-spoke 12 inch cast alloy wheels and a generous splash of chrome. Thus the scooter is playful blend of old classic and 21st century contemporary design.

Fuel filler of Yamaha D'elight

Yamaha D'elight comes with an under space storage enough to keep a helmet and a fuel filler, open glove compartment on the front of the scooter for daily practical use.

The scooter being light, is nimble also with 1.8m turning radius and low seat height being a added bonus for commuting in narrow roads and heavy traffic.

Yamaha D'elight is priced at 1,799 Pounds (around Rs. 1.64 lakhs) in the UK which makes it quite affordable in European market.

The Yamaha D'elight may take some time in making its entry in India but given the determination of Yamaha India to conquer the Indian scooter market we might see a stripped down version of D'elight which certainly could be a game changer for Yamaha in Indian market given the pricing is right.
