Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level moped-class scooter suited to beginners, new riders, or anyone needing a simple, low-stakes runabout.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, errands, and light commuting rather than any kind of performance or distance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 75 kg dry weight and low 768 mm seat height make it extremely easy to handle, flat-foot, and maneuver for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA cheerful, playful little 50cc two-stroke-styled automatic-feel scooter with sporty MotoGP-inspired styling but very modest real-world performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway riding, touring, carrying a passenger any real distance, or anyone seeking genuine speed or off-road capability.

2006 Yamaha Bws MotoGP Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 768mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2006 Yamaha Bws MotoGP, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
