2027 Yamaha RW700: an adventure scooter with the CP2 twin
Yamaha has entered the adventure scooter class. The 2027 RW700 was shown in Milan ahead of EICMA. Behind the scooter bodywork sits the 689 cc CP2 parallel twin with the automated Y-AMT transmission, so there is no clutch lever or gear shifter.
It is built for rough ground: wire-spoke wheels and footpegs that allow riding standing up. A helmet fits under the seat. There are two versions, and the RW700 Explore adds an adjustable fork, heated grips and seat, and a centerstand.
Pricing hasn't been announced. Yamaha USA hasn't said whether the model is coming to the US, so for now it is a European bike. The smaller single-cylinder RW350 will be covered separately.
- Engine — 689 cc parallel twin, CP2
