Yamaha Why 50

A Very nice looking 50cc Scooter. But the problem is. Its Very slow Up hills. Any body help. Thanks.

Paid £70 quid for a v reg with 7000 miles on the clock,had been in storage since 2007 ,,kick straight up and passed its mot no problem ...handles well and is nippy .Suspension a lot better on this model than on scooters with little wheels ..I will no doubt run this kiddy into the ground as it cost penny's .getting 44mph which is plenty .not as good as 4 stroke scooters fuel wise but you can't have it all your own way

i got mine for 350 great and when i did get it it ran well but the after 2 months of gentle riding it all of a sudden slowed down i cleaned the filter and carb but no change plus it has minim storage

Good scooter to drive, quite comfortable and looks cool. I got mine second hand with over 22.000 km on it, but it drives just as well. Uses more fuel than the modern four stroke engines, but you get way more power with this one.

I got my Yamaha Why 50 because it very cheap and it had a retro look. It has been reliable and very nice to ride and although I have not fitted any performance parts it will still het 45 mph. The why occasionally has trouble pulling away if it has to do alot of stopping and starting i.e. in a trafic jam with no room to overtake. Overall very good bike and wound recommend to anyone.

I derestricted my Yamaha Why 50 and put on a tuned exhaust -> it goes 80km/t now on flat surface.It is very stable and easy to drive.I like it a lot!

I got this scooter, a maroon Yamaha WHY YH-50 because I wanted a good scooter for commuting, that looked cool and was rather unique. I wanted a retro look, but with modern reliability and features.

This scooters is an amazing scooter for the money, however I definately recommend getting it de-restricted. A fill up costs around 5 quid, and that lasts ages so its definately worth doing. The tall wheels make hills easier, and it prevents the bumpy rides u often get from the small wheeled scooter. That said it is quite a tall scooter, because of the wheel size, and towers over the likes of the habana.

It has lit speedo and dials, a horn, two light settings, horn, indicators, and a glove box. It is ideal to get a top box though, b ecause the engine takes up all the engine takse up all teh underseat space.

It hasn't broke down once since i bought it, and its a appraoching 6 years old and it still looks almost new. Its quite a rare scooter, youll not find many reviews or many for sale on line, so its downside is the fact that gettin parts and accessories can be a pain in teh arse.

However, I recommend this scooter, for anyone who wants a nippy scoot with modern, yet retro styling. Its a great scooter, and its big wheels make you feel less like ur riding a little mini moto, and more like you're riding a Vespa or similar.

10/10 would recommend..
