Is the Yamaha Neos lighter or heavier than other Yamaha scooters?
It is comparatively light for this Yamaha category. The model lands near the 19th percentile for weight in the compatible dataset.
Which Yamaha Neos years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha Neos?

What is the combined Yamaha Neos and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 374 lb (169.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Yamaha Neos power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 1.44 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 3rd percentile within the compatible Yamaha scooter power-to-weight comparison.
What is the Yamaha Neos full-tank weight estimate?
The page calculates about 182.6 lb (82.8 kg) to 190.8 lb (86.5 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Yamaha curb-weight number.
What is the Yamaha Neos torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 1.14 lb-ft per 100 lb to 1.54 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How large is the Yamaha Neos engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 0.25 cc per lb to 0.28 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications.
