Combining the practicality of a scooter with the performance, technology and versatility of an adventure motorcycle, Yamaha’s all-new RW range is designed for riders who want more freedom from every journey.
Whether it’s navigating busy city streets, enjoying winding country roads or exploring beyond the tarmac, these new adventure scooters promise to bring something different to the world of two wheels.
Here at Central Bikes, we’re excited to take a closer look at what makes Yamaha’s latest arrivals so special.
Yamaha RW700 – Adventure Without Compromise
The all-new Yamaha RW700 is a bold addition to Yamaha’s scooter line-up, blurring the boundaries between a traditional scooter and an adventure motorcycle.
At its heart is Yamaha’s proven 689cc CP2 twin-cylinder engine, producing 69.3 PS and 65 Nm of torque. This is paired with Yamaha’s innovative six-speed Automated Manual Transmission (Y-AMT), offering the convenience of automatic gear changes with the option to shift manually using handlebar-mounted controls.
Unlike conventional scooters, the RW700 has been developed with genuine adventure capability in mind.
Long-travel suspension, rugged Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres and a versatile riding position allow riders to tackle a variety of surfaces with confidence.
Yamaha has also equipped the RW700 with an advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), supporting electronic rider aids including traction control, slide control and brake control.
Selectable Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) modes allow riders to adapt the scooter’s characteristics to different conditions, whether commuting through town or venturing onto gravel tracks.

Yamaha RW700 Explore – Built to Go Further
For riders who want additional comfort and premium equipment, Yamaha has introduced the RW700 Explore.
Sharing the same 689cc CP2 engine, Y-AMT transmission and advanced electronic technology as the standard RW700, the Explore takes the adventure concept a step further.
One of the biggest differences is its touring-focused equipment.
Heated grips and a heated rider’s seat provide welcome comfort when riding in colder weather, making the RW700 Explore particularly appealing for year-round UK riding.
The Explore also benefits from adjustable front suspension, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup to suit different roads, terrain and riding preferences.
Additional features include a centre stand and backlit switchgear, adding everyday convenience to an already impressive package.
