You’ve already seen Yamaha’s all-new adventure scooter, the RW700. Now, it’s time to meet its smaller sibling, the RW350. Just as the RW700 goes up against the Honda X-ADV, the RW350 will compete against the ADV 350.
The naming isn’t shocking, but it does come as a pleasant surprise (at least for me) that the proportions of this smaller scoot aren’t as weird as those of the bigger one. If you think otherwise, we can agree to disagree.

This looks like a traditional adventure scooter, with a windscreen up front and the foldable footboards that the RW700 also gets. There’s also a skid plate underneath and a high-angle exhaust pipe. However, the RW350 looks less bulky up front and doesn’t look awkward at all—if anything, it’s shaped more like an NMax than its RW sibling.

The design is a bit quirky as well, with plastic trims adorning the rear just below the seat. This comes from the ‘TEXNATURE’ concept, which combines textures of nature with its motorcycle designs, such as riverbeds and sands from Japan.
Unlike the 700, though, the RW350 doesn’t get spoke wheels. The smaller scooter still gets the smart key, cruise control, Yamaha Ride Control, and the digital instrument cluster that the bigger one has.

Powering the all-new Yamaha RW350 is a 327cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine capable of 28.8hp at 7,000rpm and 31.5Nm at 5,750rpm. This is a bigger and more powerful engine than the one in the XMax.
With all those details out, the only question remaining is this: When is this coming When’s the 150cc version coming out? That, for sure, is something Filipino riders will like. Tell us in the comments what you guys think.
