For 2017, Yamaha Alpha BSIV scooter gets substantial changes in features and has improved the color schemes and now is emission compliant

Yamaha’s strength may be in sporty motorcycles throughout the world but in our country there have been few examples of the same, still satisfying enough, but not that we expect from Yamaha, which is even more. The brand has been concentrating on volume driven motorcycles and scooters and they seem to be doing well on paper. There commuter motorcycles in 100cc and 150cc and there are sporty motorcycles in the 150cc and above as well. The scooter range is where Yamaha is doing really well and that is because of the Ray ZR which was launched way back in 2013. The scooter platform gave birth to many scooters such as this, The Alpha and Fasicno. The Fascino was launched recently and you can find a link below to it, but Yamaha has also heavily revised the Alpha scooter. We have all the details on the same.
