Yamaha’s 2010 WaveRunners are setting the bar high

Building on the massive success of the ’08 /’09 models, the 2010 Yamaha Wave Runner line up delivers on every expectation of incisive riders and then some. From recreational models for novices and water sport enthusiasts to ultra-high performance sport models and even functional fishing craft – all models feature reliable marine engines, superb-handling hulls and a host of technological advancements.

Recreation – VX Series (VX Sport, VX Deluxe, VX700)

The market inspired innovations of Yamaha’s award winning marine technology have materialized this year through the range of VX models that have made a huge dent in the global PWC market in past years. The VX series has been the most fuel efficient and best selling watercraft range in the global boating industry since 2005 and the good news is that the updated models will save consumers up to an additional 10% in fuel costs compared to the already economical previous VX models. Further to this, all models in the VX series, barring the VX700, feature Yamaha’s exclusive Low RPM Mode™ that can reduce consumption by up to 26% on average annual use.

Conveniences such as the Multifunction Electronic Information cockpit provide the rider with vital information for safe riding, including a quick read on speed, RPM, fuel level and low fuel / oil pressure / overheat warning. Resulting from Yamaha’s ongoing program of intensive ergonomics research, riding positions on all models have been further refined for even greater comfort. The reverse levers have also been enhanced to be more user-friendly and the redesigned convex dual mirrors provide a clear rear view – perfect for towing wakeboarders and skiers. A newly designed metallic deck and sleek hull finish give these craft a modish look, which will make them the envy of the water.

The combination of a powerful & dependable Yamaha marine engine, comfortable multi-rider seating, ease of maneuverability and user-friendly operability - all at a very affordable price - adds to the irresistible appeal of the VX range. "The VX series has been the top seller in the industry because in addition to its features, comfort and performance, it delivers the best overall value in the industry," says Scott Watkins, product manager of Yamaha’s WaterCraft group.

High Performance – FX Series (FX SHO, FX Cruiser SHO, FX HO, FX Cruiser HO)

Incredible performance, ultra-comfortable passenger seating and impressive storage facilities, make the FX models the ultimate sports-touring and/or fishing watercraft in the market. All FX models feature the industry’s largest displacement, high-output 1812cc, either normally aspirated, or in the case of the FX SHO (2008 Watercraft of the Year) supercharged marine engine. The FX SHO has been purposely designed with a supercharged high output engine in place to focus on delivering exceptional performance but also features full-house, family leisure craft capabilities - giving you the best of both worlds. The FX HO non-supercharged version still delivers comparable performance and speed whilst featuring exceptional comfort and handling. These integrated features are particularly conducive to family utility and the emerging "jet ski" fishing market. Together with the award-winning NanoXcel™ hull, decks and liners, these PWC’s are considerably lighter, stronger and faster than competitor models in the same class. Several features including an Electronic Throttle control, Cruise Assist & No-Wake Mode features as well as the Sports car-style dash panel and built in security system all contribute to making the FX model the most illustrious craft on the water today and of all time.

Sport – FZ series (FZR, FZS)

Boasting daring new colours, a quick glance of the new FZ’s will have your engines revving. Powered by a 1812cc supercharged 4-stroke DOHC engine, coupled with the increased performance derived from the lightweight NanoXcel hulls and decks, its no wonder that these beasts have left the competition in its wake in the global racing scene. The industry’s first 3-position telescoping steering column allows the driver to choose a riding style that best suits him in order to achieve optimum results. With edge-to-edge handling and unprecedented predictability, these watercrafts connect driver and machine like never before. The two-seater 2010 FZR is available in crimson red metallic and the three-seater FZS in velocity yellow.

Race – SuperJet

Created for the world’s leading pro racers and even right down to the novice racers, the legendary Yamaha SuperJet is designed for competition-winning performance. Powered by a high performance, 2-cylinder, 701cc Yamaha 2-stroke engine, sporting Yamaha’s proud racing stripes, the 2010 Superjet will continue the winning legacy of its predecessors.
