XF50 Giggle (2009 - present) review
Yamaha says:
One ride on this unique retro-styled scooter will bring a smile to your face. Exposed, mid-rise handlebars offer a comfortable, laid-back ride, while the all-weather 10inch wheels enhance handling and agility. And the funky analogue instruments on the unique bodywork complete the retro look.

The Giggle's 4-stroke, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 50cc engine delivers smooth, economical performance with low emissions, so it's cheap to run and environmentally friendly. It's practical too - flip up the sideways opening seat and you'll find a huge 33 litres of luggage space to stow away essentials.
For a unique modern scooter that's as individual as you, it has to be a Giggle.
