Versity 300

2004 Yamaha Versity 300 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2004 Yamaha Versity 300 scooter motorcycle, Yamaha features a 264 cc (16.1 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.2 HP (11.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21.6 Nm (15.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 57.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Versity 300 measures 164 kg (362 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.79 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 822 mm (32.4 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,565 mm (61.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 11.7-liter (3.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
