New Yamaha Aerox SP55
Yamaha has launched a special version of its Aerox scooter. Called the SP55, the significance of that number is that Yamaha Motors was founded in 1955 (although the 56th anniversary is perhaps a strange one to commemorate?).
Setting the SP55 apart are its ‘55’ logos, red and white graphics, red pinstripes on the wheels and a tri-colour seat with a carbon-print covering. Subtle it isn’t.
Technically the SP55 is exactly the same as the standard Aerox R. That means it gets a 50 cc motor producing 2.6 bhp (2.0 kW / 2.7 PS) and 3.7 Nm (2.7 lb/ft) of torque, an automatic transmission and disc brakes front and rear.
Pricing in the UK for the Yamaha Aerox SP55 has been set at £2,499 (excluding Government first registration fee and vehicle excise duty). New owners can also get free third party insurance via Yamaha’s ‘Freedom Insured’ scheme, which will probably be a huge financial bonus for many in the SP55’s target market.
