YAMAHA UNVEILS 2010 WAVERUNNER® LINE FEATURING
NEXT GENERATION VX® SERIES
The industry’s top-selling line of personal watercraft sees enhanced comfort,
handling, and fun in 2010
FREEPORT, Bahamas – August 24, 2009 – Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA today
introduced its 2010 line of WaveRunner® personal watercraft at the company’s annual
dealer meeting highlighted by the debut of Yamaha’s next generation VX® Series, which
as been the best selling PWC in the industry since its inception.
The all new 2010 VX® models feature more spacious seating for driver and passengers
and an expanded swim platform area. In addition, the VX® Series receives
improvements below the waterline that deliver a more fun, drier ride than competitive
models that cost thousands more. For 2010, the award-winning VX® Series includes
the VX Cruiser®, VX® Deluxe, and the VX® Sport.
All-New Design: More Comfort, Striking New Styling
The VX Series integrates the look and feel of Yamaha luxury watercraft by creating a
roomier cockpit for the operator. To do that, the seat length of the VX has been
increased to provide more legroom for taller riders with the driver’s compartment being
expanded by 4”. The overall effect is not only more comfortable for the operator, but it
also gives the VX Series a striking new profile that mirrors Yamaha’s more expensive
FX® line. Completing the cockpit are new mirrors that have been repositioned for
improved visibility, a larger glove box; and a larger, more convenient reverse lever.
For passengers, the seat of the three-person VX Series has been redesigned with a
larger bolster for more comfort when riding with two or three people. In addition, the
padded surface of the VX reboarding platform has been increased for added comfort
and versatility.
New Refinements: More Fun, Drier Ride
One of the key reasons for the VX Series’ success is its exhilarating ride. Now, the best
ride in the Value category is even better with refinements that include a new ride plate,
repositioned new sponsons and a revised weight distribution that combine to provide a
much sportier feel. These changes strengthen the handling character of the new VX
Series, making it more nimble on the water and more fun to drive than ever before.
“We created the VX Series to offer the entry level buyer a fun, fuel efficient and feature
rich WaveRunner at an affordable price,” said Scott Watkins, product manager for
Yamaha’s WaterCraft Group. “Since then, it has completely changed the personal
watercraft industry, bringing new buyers into the lifestyle and raising the bar for entry
level watercraft. With the launch of the new VX Series today, we are further raising that
bar offering new levels of comfort, space, ergonomics and a fun ride that is unlike any
other personal watercraft.”
The 2010 WaveRunner® line also includes the high-performance FZ® Series and the
luxury-performance FX® Series. New for 2010, the two-person FZR receives a
retractable reboarding ladder. Yamaha’s legendary SuperJet™, the best selling stand up
ever, returns as well.
