here the history of the zuma with pix and dates
King how come you say there were no zumas in 91, i got a 91 and my friend had a 95. where did you get that info from.

Like I said in the first and only line of text in my post, this was shop data emailed to me by Erich. By the way your links are to a European web site for the BW, so production and sales history for what was sold in Asia, Europe and Canada may not reflect sales in the US. Even though the BW and Zuma are both the same scooter sold under different names, sales production figures can reflect quite differently between markets. You very easily could have a 91 BW, but since I have no idea where you are since you left no locations, and your IP only states you're on a DSL line, I can not confirm or deny the year of your scooter or the location of which it was purchased. I can only go by the N. American production data that Erich had given me.

King i got my zumas from california. my 91 is black with yellow stickers kinda like a kenny roberts rz350. my frineds 95 was painted yamaha blue like my 2000 zuma but i cannot tell you the o.g. color of his bike. it seems like in cali they always had the bike since they introduced them.

yea indiana people have 1993,1994,95,96,96 the only years they were not made in indiana is 1987, and 1992

King i think that the reason there were no zumas on your list from 91 to 96 is because the 90 and under zumas were called Zuma (single seater), and the ones after there were called Zuma 2 ( 2 seaters ). out here in hawaii the zuma is a moped because of the single seat and the zuma 2 is scooter, because you can carry a passenger.

Hmm, but there is a Zuma II listed on the production data above.
