Since its beginning, Yamaha Motor Company has repeatedly reshaped the motorcycle and scooter landscape by combining performance, innovation and accessibility. Over the years, Yamaha has pioneered new technologies and pushed the boundaries of mobility, advancing urban transportation through the MAX line-up while opening up a world of new adventures with the robust and durable Ténéré 700 range.
Today, as a result of decades of on and off-road development and engineering excellence, Yamaha takes one step further by creating a bridge between two worlds with the all-new RW Series of premium, versatile, adventure-ready scooters – delivering everyday freedom in the true sense of the word.
Built to redefine the standards of performance, capability and freedom to move both on and off-road, the RW Series introduces a new benchmark. Designed to spark the spirit of adventure, the RW700, RW700 Explore and RW350 mark the beginning of the first true Adventure Scooter segment.
Dominant in the city, the RW Series is stable, refined and composed. It turns daily commutes into a comfortable and premium experience, while extraordinary adventures are within reach when the road opens up or disappears altogether.
Breaking through boundaries, these machines take you on a journey of exploration and discovery unlike anything you have experienced previously on two-wheeled scooters. Marketing claims don’t define this series – real world use does.
With measurable confidence, control and versatility across every riding environment, the RW Series has been built with the rider in mind. A seat designed to be moved on – not to hold you in one place, footpegs that provide comfort when you want it and grip when you need it, and an engine that puts all the power at your fingertips. The RW Series isn’t here to join the game, it’s here to change it.
At the heart of the RW Series lies the RW700. Powered by the proven CP2 engine and combined with a rugged steel tube style frame, the RW700 is a true motorcycle-scooter crossover. It embodies Yamaha’s belief that performance, adventure and everyday usability should coexist without compromise. This model stirs the desire to set off on a journey and maximise the enjoyable experiences life has to offer.
The RW700 is joined by the RW700 Explore – the same exceptional motorcycle-scooter crossover, but with specially designed extras to provide the ultimate in luxury and premium level comfort. The upgrades include front suspension with adjustable preload and rebound damping capabilities, heated grips, heated seat, a centre stand and backlit switchgear, as well as its own dedicated colour options. The RW700 Explore invites the rider to go in search of new roads and explore with ease, with zero compromise on the features that add comfort to everyday riding.
Both the RW700 and RW700 Explore present unrivalled commuting and exploring opportunities, providing the rider with true freedom of movement, opening unexplored territory and encouraging you to chase your next adventure.
Joining the family is the RW350, which punches well above its class as it redefines the category of middle-weight scooters. Built for the adventurous commuter and powered by an all-new 330cc liquid cooled, 4-stroke engine with Yamaha Dynamic Ride, it achieves agile handling with powerful, linear acceleration and outstanding handling.
The RW350 has been built without compromise to deliver true performance where it counts, granting pure freedom to the rider by blending comfort and practicality. A scooter that makes every day exciting, encourages you to go further than ever before and allows you to choose your own route – every day.
With DNA built from adventure, the RW series invites you to a time of realising the world was larger than you could have ever imagined. Designed to awaken a sense of adventure, encouraging riders to go off the beaten path on a machine that’s capable, not just on paper, but in the real world. More than adventure styling – these bikes are adventure-capable, built in from the very first push of the starter button.
