Model history

The Yamaha Lagenda series consists 5 generation from 2000 until now. 5 models has been introduced to market since then.

First Generation

SR Lagenda 100cc - (2000-2003) The SR Lagenda is the first model of the Lagenda series. Launched by a Japanese motorcycle racer Norifumi Abe, it was built as the successor of the Yamaha SRX 100. The new model is equipped with a re-engineered air-cooled four stroke engine to ensure better reliability and performance. It also has a high rigidly frame to ensure precise handling performance and stability. In addition, the Lagenda had a sporty and aerodynamic body with multi-reflector combination of headlight and tail-light. The moped is sold at RM5,451 for the kick-start version and RM5,778 for the electric version. The motorcycle comes in three colours : orange, blue and red.

Second Generation

Lagenda 110cc - (2003-2005) The Lagenda 110cc was simply the SR Lagenda with increased engine displacement. However, a few changes have been to the model, such as a more rigid chassis with slightly longer wheelbase and a more straight inlet tract from the carburetor to the inlet manifold, reducing the "puddling" effect. The moped is sold at RM4,388 for the kick-start version and RM4,688 for the electric version. In motor sports, the Lagenda 110 has gained a very good reputation as a racing machine because the bike had won almost all podium position for every rounds during the Malaysian Cub Prix.
