Japanese manufacturer Yamaha has just released details and a photo gallery of its latest city commuter, namely the 2010 BW’s 125 scooter, which features the same short wheelbase and big, all-terrain style tires as the BW’s 50, only that it rides over rough surfaces better.
Moreover, riding with a passenger is no longer a burden, thanks to under-seat storage for a full-face helmet, and a two-up passenger seat.
“The agile BW’s 125 tackles whatever the day throws at you: from tight, twisting back roads to busy urban high streets,” a company statement reads.
“Big, wide, all-terrain style 12inch tires ensure you maintain a great connection with the road, whether it’s a cobbled street or a wet gravel path. Great levels of balance, grip and ride comfort mean you can easily handle any weather and conditions. Off-road grade dual rear shock absorbers take you smoothly over any potholes the city serves up,” the self-praising document added.
Yamaha announced that the BW’s 125 is available in Avalanche White and Midnight Black, complete with heavy-duty exposed frame, dynamic dual headlights, striking graphics and a specially-designed logo.
