Yamaha Aerox is a part of one-cylinder scooters made by Yamaha that launched on 1997, available in 50 ccs or 100 ccs for the European market, and 125 ccs or 155 ccs for the Southeast Asian market with several some different designs. Yamaha Aerox was first launched with a single-cylinder engine, liquid-cooled, 2-stroke. At the beginning of its existence this scooter only has a capacity of 5cc 2-stroke, and only circulated in Europe. There are two engine choices namely 50cc and 100cc. After that was born the second generation Yamaha Aerox with the same 50cc engine, but with 4-stroke technology while still maintaining the sporty concept. Yamaha Aerox has long been used by the Yamaha MotoGP paddock bike team, but only entered and circulated widely in Indonesia in 2016. In addition to looking sporty, Yamaha Aerox is also famous as a scooter with powerful and agile power when manoeuvring. Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, who at that time joined the Yamaha Factory Racing Team, had used this scooter during MotoGP. Some that have been driven by the two drivers include the Aerox-R2007 Special Edition, the 2007 Aerox-R Race Replica, the Aerox-R Race Replica, and the 2012 Aerox-R GP Edition. All of these motors still use 2-stroke engines.
