Why - Your key to the city
Yamaha’s Why always looks good. Those tall 16-inch wheels gracefully glide over the rough city streets with an air of unruffled chic. At only 73kg it is extremely light and easy to handle, making the Why more than just a fashion statement – it is an intelligent transport solution. |
