Introduced in 2016 as an affordable scooter model, the Yamaha Janus quickly gained popularity among users due to its compact design, modern appearance, and powerful engine. The latest version available on the market is the 2020 Yamaha Janus. With its equipped features, is the Janus 2020 a good choice for users? Let's find out and get answers from Mytour.
1. Review of the Design of the 2020 Yamaha Janus Motorcycle
Targeting primarily young users, the Janus encompasses all the elements that users need.
The highlight of the 2020 Yamaha Janus is its classic round headlight cluster, along with a front design featuring sleek panels, creating a modern yet charming bike. The seat height is only 770mm, making it suitable for the height of Vietnamese women. The seat also has a slight gradient between the rider's seat and the pillion seat, providing comfort for both riders. However, the seat may cause discomfort on long journeys.
Meanwhile, the instrument cluster combines analog and digital displays, showing all technical data clearly and providing comfort for users to observe even under direct sunlight. Users can also set and track the vehicle's journey, time on the road, and more....
The footrest area is quite comfortable for the rider. However, for individuals taller than 1m65, it might feel a bit cramped. Nevertheless, for the target audience, mainly girls under 1m65, this isn't a significant issue.
Accompanying this, the scooter also has a storage compartment that can fit a 3/4 head helmet and many other items, quite convenient for women to carry a small purse or shoulder bag, or bring a lunch box to work...
A weakness of the 2020 Yamaha Janus lies in its plastic body parts, which aren't highly rated for durability. They are prone to breakage upon impact or tipping over. Moreover, the paint is susceptible to scratches. This is why many women choose to add a metal guard for additional protection.
2. Evaluation of the Engine and Fuel Efficiency on the 2020 Yamaha Janus Motorcycle
Yamaha equips the Janus with a Blue Core engine with a displacement of 125cc, delivering a maximum power of 9.5 horsepower at 8000 RPM and a peak torque of 9.6 Nm at 5500 RPM. This engine, combined with the lightweight and compact design of the scooter, makes the Janus a flexible and dynamic scooter, meeting the commuting needs of users, especially those living in large cities.
The motorcycle not only starts smoothly but also maintains stability and meets user needs well when traveling at speeds ranging from 35-45 km/h.
The Yamaha Janus 2020 is also a fuel-efficient scooter, consuming only about 1.7 liters of fuel per 100 km on mixed roads, helping users save operating costs.
The engine operates quite smoothly and shows no signs of decline after long-term use (the writer has been riding the Janus since the 2016 generation, and it still performs well). It can be said that Yamaha has changed users' perspectives with the new generations of scooters introduced to the market.
3. Evaluation of Features on the 2020 Yamaha Janus Motorcycle
In addition to the powerful engine and flexible design, Yamaha also provides users with safety features to ensure smooth operation.
Specifically, the front brake of the 2020 Yamaha Janus is a disc brake, while the rear brake is a drum brake. Considering the primary usage and terrain, these brakes adequately meet the safety needs of users.
A downside is that Yamaha still uses tire systems with studs on the Janus, while the tires are rated as quite stiff by repairmen, so repairing punctures can be a bit challenging.
On higher-end and limited editions, users also get to experience the convenient smart key and enhanced safety. In these versions, the bike is equipped with an engine cutoff system, providing more convenience for users during operation.
4. How much does the 2020 Yamaha Janus motorcycle cost? What color options are available?
In 2020, Yamaha offers users a total of 3 different versions of the Yamaha Janus with corresponding prices and colors as follows:
– The 2020 Yamaha Janus limited edition version (available in 4 color options: white-blue, black, red, and gray): the listed price is 31,990,000 VND

– The 2020 Yamaha Janus standard version (available in 4 color options: black, red, blue, and white): the listed price is 27,990,000 VND
