Yamaha Motor has unveiled the redesigned CYGNUS X scooter for the Japanese market. The update brings a 19% stiffer frame, a wing-motif front fascia with a new projector LED headlight, three standard colors (blue, white, matte dark gray), and a limited-edition "R1M" color that draws on the YZF-R1 superbike's livery DNA, capped at just 800 units.

First thing I ask about any new scooter: does it have underseat storage? That wing-motif front end is aggressive and I love it. The 19% stiffer frame should make the ride feel tighter too. Limited to 800 units, that R1M color is going to sell out fast — Yamaha really went all in on a 125cc-class scooter, man.

Since it's a 125-class bike, can you even ride it on a regular car license?

You can ride a 125 with just a small motorcycle license, a regular license is more than enough.

For the same price isn't PCX fine? That wing-face design isn't doing it for me.

Nah for a 125 scooter storage and fuel economy matter more than looks, CYGNUS seems practical enough.

They say rigidity's up 19% but every new model claims that.

At least they gave an actual number, other brands just do vague marketing speak.

Limited 800-unit R1M livery? Hype level maxed out, need one.
