Overview
The Yamaha BW’s is a scooter in the BWs family, produced in 2013. Its air-cooled, single-cylinder 2-stroke engine displaces 49 cm³ and makes 3 hp (2 kW); the scooter weighs 82 kg.
An automatic CVT handles gear changes, while the belt final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust. The 767 mm seat height may make it easier to reach the ground, and 70 mm of travel at each end with 124 mm of ground clearance suits smoother routes better than rough or deeply rutted ones.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Lightweight
At 82 kg, it should be easier to maneuver at low speeds and move around while parked.
Automatic transmission
The CVT removes manual gear changes, making stop-and-go riding simpler.
Low seat
The 767 mm seat height can help riders get a foot down more easily at stops.
Things to consider
Limited suspension travel
With 70 mm of travel front and rear, the suspension has less room to absorb larger bumps.
Modest ground clearance
The 124 mm clearance can make tall road obstacles and deep ruts more challenging.
Rear drum brake
The rear uses a 110 mm drum rather than a disc, alongside the 180 mm front disc.

Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
