For on and off road use, you definitely need adjustable suspension. Yamaha, please, give us a proper windscreen for highway comfort!

I would like to see some real adventure bike features, like wire spoke wheels, crash bars, and a skid plate. Make it able to handle some real off road action.

It would be amazing with cruise control and TFT display for longer trips. And of course, heated grips for those cold morning commutes too!

What about a hybrid power train? City use electric, longer trips and more power when needed gas engine.

I would love to see a variant with a manual transmission though. I know it's not the standard for scooters, but it would be so much more fun to ride.

It gets the tech from Yamaha's sport bikes - traction control, riding modes, perhaps even wheelie control for those adventurous types.

Let’s forget off road pretensions and make it a high performance urban scooter. Tune that 300cc engine for maximum smiles per gallon in the city, lower it, add sticky tires.

How about modular bodywork? You could switch between sleek urban panels and more rugged adventure style bodywork depending on your plan for the day.

I'd like serious luggage capacity. It’s got to give it panniers and a top box that you can take off for city use but has enough room for real touring.

Keep it simple! We’ll just take the classic BW’s styling, with more power and better brakes. We don’t need to overcomplicate everything with tech.
Which bike is better for Urban Adventures, the Yamaha BW’s 125 or the Honda ADV150?

The BW 125 is more nimble in tight city spaces and easier to maneuver. I think it has the edge over the bulkier ADV150 in terms of pure urban use.

You can’t beat the quality that Honda builds. Taller and chunkier, the ADV150 also feels more premium, something that gives you more confidence on longer rides or rough terrain.

I've ridden both, and the ADV150 has much more power to it. Highways are more comfortable and passing power in traffic is better.

The BW's 125 is cheaper to buy and maintain, and has better fuel economy. It's the smarter choice for budget conscious riders.

I like the quirkiness of the BW’s styling wise. To me, the ADV150 looks a little too much like a shrunken Africa Twin.

The ADV150's bigger wheels and higher level of suspension superiority makes it a runaway when the pavement ends. If you’re going to do any real off road riding, it’s the better choice.

The BW's 125 was for pure fun factor. The result is playful and encourages you to explore urban nooks and crannies. The ADV150 is great, but it’s almost too serious sometimes.

Urban adventurers need storage space, and the ADV150 offers a lot more under seat storage. And that's big plus for day trips or grocery runs.

The BW's 125, I think, does a better job of capturing the urban adventure. The ADV150 feels like it’s trying too hard to be a ‘real’ adventure bike, while the ADV feels like a scrappy underdog punching above its own weight class.
What is the most ridiculous mod you've seen on a Yamaha BW's 125?

I saw a BW's 125 with monster truck style tires once. It was ridiculous, but also kind of awesome. I have no idea how it actually rode though!
