    I am on my second Cygnus x now, and they are the best scooter I have ever owned, the thing that does it for me is the looks, reliability, fuel consumption, speed 65mph, storage space, manouverability, and the lovely kick start as well as the electric start all for £1850.00 with 2 years warranty. I travel 1500 miles a month on mine and it used to cost me £6.00 per day on my R1, on the Cygnus its 15.00 per week !! no brainer. If you are after the best commuter, buy a Cygnus. You will ...

    So glad I bought this Yamaha Cygnus X bike I use it almost everyday and it is exceptionally quick and the suspension is superb at times it feels like a Rolls Royce, very quiet tick over.

    Updating my previous posts, I have now completed 17,000 kilometeres, including a tour of Scotland in 4 days in which I covered nearly 900 miles. I found that i could ride this scooter for hours, it never faltered, and the newly-fitted Yamaha tall windshield (cost 70 GBP) gave wonderful weather protection. I have recommended the Yamaha Cygnus before, I recommend it even more now.

    I was so impressed with this Yamaha Cygnus X bike, i wish i had bought it a long time ago, although i only use it for work on a daily basis, i still have my job thanks to my cygnus, it gets me from home to work safer then ever and thanks to its reliability, it does a top speed around 68mph, full tank gives me just over 100miles,

    I've had my Yamaha Cygnus X for 3 years. I replaced my Jetforce after 18 months due to the dreadfull relability problems. I purchased the Cygnus due to its light weight, more basic analogue dash, and box carriage ability. The fuel economy is brilliant. Its used for commuting on 30/40mph speed limit road, so its rarely pushed fast. I get 225 miles on a 7 litre tank, compared to 130 miles on a 8 litre tank on my Jet force. So smaller tank but nearly double the miles !! . Now its getting a few year ...

    Had my Yamaha Cygnus X for a year and a half, it's been driven in all types of weather even the recent snow and its been spot on. The fuel consumption is awesome, I pay £5 a month on fuel and i'm 20 stone! It's also quick off the mark, many a time ive had cars pull up next to me at traffic lights revving there engines and sniggering at me, then when the lights go green i'm off and they're gobsmacked!
    I love the little ignition cover aswell, a mate at work has had bikes all his life and he ...

    i bought my cygnus 3 yrs ago after reading many reviews, however if i'd test ridden it first i'd probably not have bought it, i really found the suspension hard & the brakes not so good. but maybe thats because i've had big bikes all my life & i really bought this as a weekend runabout & to keep er indoors happy. anyway 3yrs down the road it's never missed a beat or failed to start, & as another review said it goes as well 2 up, the motor & transmission really work well. All in all it's a good b ...

    Yamaha Cygnus X has good performance, economy, reliability, finish and storage. Stil have my Fazer(which gets very little use now...)because this is so very easy, manuverable, economical, nippy, good lock, excellent storage. Brilliant!!

    The Yamaha Cygnus X is totally reliable, excellent fuel consumption, my has only done 500 miles but I am getting 100mpg + I have ridden through all the recent bad weather and the bike has not missed a beat. The dash has a clock how good is that it was one of the reasons I bought the bike. Look at a Honda and it is all analogue dials.

    I have had my 2008 Yamaha Cygnus since june 2008 and have done just over 3200 miles, its been serviced once at 600 miles to get the oil changed and havent had it serviced since, has started first time, every time... its a 125cc moped so will do 65mph, also it has an electric start and a kick start in case the battery runs out... The lights are automatic and there is a handy digital dial to show how much petrol you have, i have ridden about 120 miles from the tank being full and still had some f ...

    Yamaha Cygnus X. Brilliant little bike. Didn't really know what scooter to get second had, but wanted 4 stroke and the ability to put a full face beneath the seat.Turns out that I have made the best choice. Really am very chuffed with it. I've done about 1000 miles now and it's not missed a beat.

    Excellent machine - don't know how I managed without! Excellent design, around 90 mpg round town, 60 mph, handles well, good lock, well finished, wonderful storage, with screen keeps most of weather off & can still feel fingers in the winter, really brilliant bike which gets used every day.

    I bought my Yamaha Cygnus in 2006 and have used it everyday it has just completed 53000 km, and in that time it has only broke down once and was fixed quite quickly and cheaply, a great buy.

    I wanted to update my comments in april, having ridden a further 4,000 miles on the Cygnus since. This scooter is really excellent! I have now done a number of 180 mile round trips and this scooter is better than the piaggio and vespa scooters I had before.

    I use the Yamaha Cygnus as a back up to my main motorcycle and car. Recenty I have found myself making more use of the scooter than my 1st bike, it is so easy to ride and park, I also found that the scooter performs just as well two up, which is a bonus when you find you may have to carry a passenger from time to time.

    A very good scooter for every day use, I use it for daily commuting through London and it works very well. Good for short trips, not great on fuel economy but still better than a car. Is very small and can be parked just about anywhere.
    A great little scooter, very reliable, only major downside is the noise!
    Also, could do with a lockable cover on the glove compartment.

    Amazing bike. I have a full license but have stuck to the Cygnus which I've had since new in 2006.
    Great all round bike suitable for most journeys.
    Only negative is that you get wet when it rains! If Yamaha fix that issue then it'll be unbeatable in all aspects!
