Positioned in Yamaha's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Yamaha Tricity utilizes a 124.7 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.9 HP (7.9 kW) at 6,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.7 Nm (8.6 lb-ft) at 8,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 87.4 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Tricity measures 164 kg (362 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (15.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
