Yamaha BW’s 125 - The Urban-proof Scooter
FAQs
-
If Yamaha made a 300cc version of the BW's, what would you want to see?
10 January 2025 07:37Let’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.
-
Which bike is better for Urban Adventures, the Yamaha BW’s 125 or the Honda ADV150?
10 January 2025 07:37The 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?
10 January 2025 07:37I saw a BW's with a custom stretched frame, and that was the craziest mod I've seen. It looked more like a mini chopper scooter hybrid. Impractical as hell, but it’s definitely unique.
-
Is the Yamaha BW's 125 an 'adventure scooter' at all?
10 January 2025 07:37I think it hits a good balance. The adventure styling isn’t just for show, but it’s not a hardcore off roader. Featuring a higher ground clearance and beefier suspension than your average scooter, it's better equipped for mixed terrain riding than most other electric scooters.
-
Why does BW have the 125's headlight design so funky?
10 January 2025 07:37In fact, the dual headlight design is pretty functional. This helps you put more light on a wider spread so that you can spot obstacles at night or in low visibility conditions.
-
Is there any way to buy a Yamaha BW in India?
02 January 2023 06:34Yamaha has no launch plans for its BW 125 in India. The automatic scooter comes with a 125 cc, air cooled and fuel injected engine producing 9 BHP and 9.6 NM of torque. The scooter gets a V-Belt automatic transmission and even comes with a 189 mm front disc brake. The best part of the scooter is the 120/70-12 and 130/70-12 tyre combo, providing it with excellent amounts of traction. It would have been launched for around INR 55,000 if ever planned for the Indian market.
