Yamaha seems to have the budget market fully cornered. Well known for their motorbikes and outboard marine engines, the company sets new standards in portable, affordable DPVs. They make models for all pockets and have a professional range, too. A great starter for those buying their first scooter.
The RDS series goes up in increments, with additional features for the higher prices. The RDS200 is the cheapest of the range but still offers some great specs for your money.
