Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for absolute beginners and learner riders, including teens where legally permitted, thanks to its tiny 50cc automatic drivetrain and negligible power.
PurposeBuilt purely for short urban hops, errands, and light commuting rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light weight make it very accessible for smaller or less physically strong riders to handle at a stop or in traffic.
CharacterA playful, low-stakes city runabout with a naked-scooter street look, easy automatic operation, and minimal maintenance demands.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger comfortably, or riders seeking any real speed or acceleration.

2013 Yamaha Bws Naked 50 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 2013 Yamaha Bws Naked 50, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and an upright 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.
