2019 Yamaha Tricity Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2019 Yamaha Tricity relies on a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.9 HP (7.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.4 Nm (7.7 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 87.3 HP per liter and a 3,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 Tricity measures 156 kg (344 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.31 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 1,310 mm (51.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.6-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
