Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an entry-level moped-class scooter suited to complete beginners and those without a full motorcycle license.
PurposeIt is built purely for short urban hops, running errands, and light commuting rather than any performance or distance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 83 kg weight and low 803 mm seat height make it extremely easy to manage for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterIt has a simple, cheerful, practical personality as a basic 50cc automatic scooter rather than a machine with any sporting pretensions.
Not Ideal ForIt is not suitable for highway travel, touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or anyone seeking real speed or performance.

2009 Yamaha Bws NG Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 803mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Yamaha Bws NG, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). 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.
