Engineered by Yamaha for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2017 Yamaha V-Ixion Advance pairs a 149.5 cc (9.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.6 HP (12.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.5 Nm (10.7 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 111 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the V-Ixion Advance measures 129 kg (284 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.77 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
