C3

This Yamaha scooter nameplate was introduced in the United States for the 2007 model year as a small-displacement urban commuter with a distinctive boxy profile and practical storage-focused design. Yamaha positioned it as an easy-to-use, lightweight step-through aimed at short-trip transportation rather than long-distance riding, and its compact packaging gave it an enthusiast following among riders who wanted something more characterful than a typical budget scooter. Official Yamaha parts documentation shows the model in the U.S. catalog as XF50XR (C3), and independent model-year references place its run from 2007 through 2011. The scooter was part of Yamaha’s broader 50cc commuter lineup and shared the company’s emphasis on simple usability and everyday convenience. It did not have a documented later revival under the same nameplate, and the model was eventually superseded by newer Yamaha 50cc scooter offerings.
