In a way easy to mistake for the Zuma, the 2008 MY BW's shows off Yamaha's skills when it comes to creating all-rounder scooters which feel at home on road and beyond the point when the asphalt ends. With dual-sport-ish tires, the BW's is not afraid to venture on less trodden paths, especially as its suspensions are tuned to handle a bit of roughness, too.
The 2-stroke 49cc air-cooled engine packs enough punch to keep things funny and make the 2008 MY BW's a great machine for all-rounder convenience, form urban commuting to weekend outings.
