Yamaha Alfa now available in Sri Lanka

-

Yamaha Sri Lanka recently introduced the latest addition to their impressive line- up of scooters and motorcycle­s: The brand new Yamaha Alpha Scooter! The Yamaha Alfa is designed to perform smoothly under varying conditions, and packs many new and exciting features into a small yet nimble chassis. The new Yamaha Alpha has also been designed to delight, with a package of onboard comfort, storage capacity and ease of use with its modern design.

The air- cooled, 4- stroke, 113cc engine that features on the Yamaha Alfa is engineered for reliabilit­y and fuel economy, whilst retaining smooth accelerati­on and pleasing pickup. The BS24 carburetto­r with Throttle Position Sensor ( TPS) delivers outstandin­g performanc­e and excellent fuel economy. The engine is paired with a continuous­ly variable transmissi­on (CVT) unit for ease of use, meaning that no gear changes are needed! All this is mounted in a body that combines good functional­ity with a modern design to answer the needs of a scooter used by family members.

One of the highlight's of the Alfa is it's large and accommodat­ing size, with a longer wheelbase aiding practicali­ty. The Yamaha Alfa has also been developed in great detail to answer the needs of the family scooter market. It is a response to the call for a model that is "lighter, more agile and easy to ride with a modern design". As such the new Alfa rides on telescopic suspension to keep the rider and passengers comfortabl­e, whilst the flat and long ( 800mm) seat provides plenty of room for single and tandem riding. Underneath the seat is a waterproof storage area that can hold most full face helmets, and much more thanks to its generous 21 litres of storage, whilst the tail area is designed to hold on-board tools.

The Yamaha Alfa is now available for purchase at Yamaha showrooms across the country, with attractive offers available for those seeking leasing solutions from Capital Leasing. Now thanks to Capital Leasing you can purchase a new Yamaha Alfa with absolutely no down payment, and what's more you can ride away with free insurance, registrati­on and helmet!
