2014, and the ACRUZO in 2015.
The Janus is a volume-price segment scooter
developed for female riders in their twenties. Main features include -
Front/Rear 14-inch wheels, the "BLUE CORE" engine, a 97kg chassis
weight, and a 14L storage space underneath the seat with capacity enough for

Start System that automatically stops the engine when the bike is stationary at
traffic lights etc. Furthermore, the Janus Premium features the Smart Key

which scooters comprised approximately 40 percent. The Janus is Yamaha Motor's
first model to be launched in the volume-priced category following the

Vietnamese market by providing a line-up covering all categories including the
high, medium, and volume price ranges. Manufacturing will be carried out by
