Delight

2018 Yamaha Delight Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Yamaha's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Yamaha Delight utilizes a 114 cc (7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7.1 HP (5.2 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 7.6 Nm (5.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 62.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Delight measures 98 kg (216 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 755 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.4-liter (1.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
