    BWS 2006 has just started breaking down costing me more money then I care to put into a scooter so soon. I thought it would have lasted longer. For a 2006 I didn't expect to already pay $900.00 in fixing it. Might aswell buy a new one for that price.

    I simply love my Yamaha BWS. Of course like any other guy on this planet, I wish it went faster (but that would be the same even if I had a 500cc bike - always faster you know...)
    Anyway, I was saying that I love it: the looks, comfort, very fun to drive around, and pretty fast off the line for a 3.2 horse power engine. So far it seem reliable too. I put 19.000 km on it so far.

    But another point is wich is the Bws looks like.I think they can switch the lokking.They can use new things. I think if the bws lokks like a little bit better, than its the best scooter of the world.

    I bought my 2008 BWS used in September this year. It had 152 k on it. I know have 2130 k on it. I use it as a daily commuter 40 k a day return. I ride a twisty little road with some good hilLs on it next to the ocean. I ride it in all weather conditions. What a hoot this bike has been. I can't wait to put a pipe on it and some other mods. Though I will not put a carb kit on it. I have 2 windshield, the small for summer and the largest for winter, though I wish it was bigger. One of my peeves is ...

    I love my Yamaha BWS. I've only had it only a week and have already put 500 kms on it. I bought it (a black 2006) second hand and added a Givi topcase the same day I bought it. Tons of storage space. I can do up to 72 kms/hour (on a downward slope). It slows down a bit on upward grades but generally manages to keep up with in-town traffic. Very fast off the line. It took a little while to get use to the riding position. My last scooert was an '85 250cc Honda Elite. I like the Yamaha better. Grea ...

    I put a 70cc kit and a 70cc pipe on my Yamaha BWS and let me tell you something brother I loose sight of stock bw's in my mirror.
    I can pull up to any scooter like derby, aprilla, and make them wish they had a Yamaha. When you go up a hill its easy to accelerate. What else can I say? Its the best bang for your buck.

    Looking for a scooter? Buy a Yamaha BWS, not speedfighter or aerox. They look brilliant handle well and yamaha bws are bulletproof, they never seem to break down.

    West coast availability
    1.You need to ask yourself what u need
    2.your perfable comfort speed
    3.vehicle handling, weight of the machine, durability
    4.Plain-jane and u'r happy ;)
    5.Do you want to play? E.g. upgrade, change style, tinker?
    6.Want all the bell's and whistle with minimal upgrades

    Food for thought air-cooled engines wear out faster when engine displacement is grossly underpowered to its proportion
    e.g. 4 cylinder 80's Chrysler Caravan,body weigh's in close to the moon, makes sense?

    I commute to work about 5KM /3.5miles and mi 6cyl car was driving me up on gas due to the 26 stops sings I have to manage and thats only one way so I decided that I'm going to look for an alternative mode of transportation.
    deciding to buy a scooter when you're in the late 40's is not as easy as you thing put the decision was made I have no sorrows about my decision. This has been the first time in my life I like commuting , I'm actually looking forward to go to work and to ride my scooter.

    Runs well. Good reliability. Fast. Loads of petrol needed. It's a really good bike recommended from everyone.

    I think the Yamaha BWS is the best moped ever.

    I have the 1992 Yamaha BWS, it's the best moped I have ever ridden. Mine's derestricted and it has a Technigas sports exhaust. I got 53 mph out of it, my best friend has a brand new Aprilia SR and I beat him at top end speed and beat him off the line!

    A great bike!
