For Sale: 2009 Yamaha Zuma in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2009 Yamaha Zuma 125 Scooter

"After the World War 2 scooter boom, these scooters have appeared on the silver screen. The film Roman Holiday, released in 1953, is one of the most famous examples of a Vespa scooter used as transport for a princess in Rome. It is believed that the film resulted in tens of thousands of sales for the Vespa scooters following the film's release. Some films, like Absolute Beginners and Quadrophenia, embraced the association of 'youth culture' with the scooter. The latter, the most famous and arguably inspirational with regards to its impact on the Mod Revival movement." Varlascooters.com

For consignment, a 2009 Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter with a title verified 950 miles. Long before E-bikes became the recreational sensation they are now, scooters were the go-to quick pick for easy transportation.

Exterior
With some obvious design influence from Cushman, the modernized Zuma has dual headlights on the fairing that fronts the bike, here in monochromatic black that covers just about everything in flat or glossy noir. Even the 12-inch wheels are black as well as the exhaust housing, dual tail light nacelle, shock absorber, mirror posts and the mirror housing itself. All of this makes for a compact and attractive scooter augmented by a diamond stitched Corbin vinyl bucket seat encircled by a rail that emerges in back as a parcel rack. Zuma decals in white project on the side of the bike and it all presents in very nice condition with no major flaws.

Functionality
A simple instrument cluster includes the speedometer, fuel gauge and three indicator lights of different colors. Rubber handlebar grips give way to plastic bezels housing various thumb controls clearly marked and of varying shapes for those times when you can't look down. The driver is afforded a textured rubber floor allowing for grip, relaxed driving, and easy access. Amber turn signals are front and rear and side reflectors are prominent on the sides.

Drivetrain
The scooter is powered by a 49cc 2 stroke 1-cylinder engine rated at 8 horsepower and fueled by a 1-barrel carburetor. A CVT transmission provides power via a belt drive. You have a disc brake up front and a drum in the rear and suspension consists of a telescopic fork up front and single shock absorber in back. The exhaust is all original and is a single system.

This fairly modern scooter can get you across campus, over to Westwood for a bite to eat, then over to Barrington in West L.A. for your Pilates class. Let's say you have a big property and just need to grab your mail each day. Perhaps you deliver food in an urban center and need a handy scooter for that. The possibilities are endless and this stylish Zuma has got miles of smiles ahead!
