not to be confused with Yamaha Passol.
The Yamaha Passol S50 is a scooter produced by Yamaha Motor Company. The scooter was Yamaha's first production scooter and was only released to the Japanese market.
The original Passol was launched in March of 1977. To compete with Honda's Road Pal, which had Sophia Loren to promote it, Yamaha brought in actress Kaoru Yachigusa to promote the bike through commercials.[1][2] Alongside the commercials, Yamaha also held exhibits and moped license schools to allow more people to have the ability to ride the scooter.[3]
The Passol was originally marketed as a commuter bike and was listed at a price of ¥69,800 (~$250 following the exchange rate at the time). The bike was specifically marketed towards the women in Japan and created the "soft bike" market.[4] At the time Japan was beginning to incorporate women into the workforce. Yamaha decided to capitalize on this potential market by offering motorcycles designed for daily mobility.[5]
