Seasoned riders will remember the Cushman scooters that inexpensively
transported people and cargo from the 1930s until the mid-’60s. Yamaha has
tapped the spirit of the Cushman for its all-new 2007 C3, which is something of
a replacement for the best-selling Zuma scooter, as the friendly two-stroke has
fallen victim to EPA emissions regulations. Christened the C3 (cargo cubed) due
to its nine gallons of cubic storage space, the scooter is powered by a
fuel-injected, three-valve, SOHC, air-cooled 49cc motor. Yamaha claims the C3
gets 116 mpg and will trek 28,000 miles between valve adjustments. A fully
automatic belt/pulley transmission makes operation nearly effortless.
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires will offer a series of high-quality, collector’s edition Legends posters, with the net proceeds benefiting injured riders through the Clayton Memorial Foundation. ::MORE::
