Riding Dynamics

The Sniper's handling and running performance eliminates any discomfort for the rider because of the various technologies of Yamaha and repeated simulations.

This includes not only the numerical data or specs but also more accurately called the area of "feeling" including human sensitivities.

Only those who experience it can truly understand and we want you to get a taste of this dynamic riding experience.

Blade Design

The Sniper is distinctly different from any other moped with the blade design's double concept: "designed for performance" and "a sharp form that expresses a slicing motion".

Neo Technologies

The liquid-cooled engine ensures stability when the temperature raises, giving a sense of stability when riding at high speed and produces minimal vibrations.

Using a 4 valve 135cc SOHC type engine has a calm low speed performance and a comfortable acceleration feeling. From low speed to top speed the Sniper exhibits superior performance in all kinds of conditions.

The Sniper has been fully equipped with Yamaha's own unique technology.

The DiASIL cylinder has achieved maintenance-free capacity,
reduced oil deterioration and superior fuel efficiency.

Added to that is the lightweight forged piston that is also used
by sports motorcycles. It has accomplished the role of reducing
vibrations creating a pleasant feeling of high quality.

Combined with the world standard state-of-the-art
technology of Yamaha, the synergetic effect
increases and merges into the birth of a
new motorcycle. That is the reason
why the Sniper is known as the
flagship model.
