| Yamaha's profilation of this bike | 
  | Jump onboard and you´ll see that the BW´s 12inch is just as easy and fun to ride as the original. Its twist-and-go riding style makes use of a zippy 2-stoke 50cc engine and a hassle-free automatic transmission. Add to that a lightweight chassis, distinctive dual headlights and – of course – those big 12inch alloy wheels. |
