| Yamaha's profilation of this bike | 
  | Next Generation is an evolution of the BW’s concept. It’s got all the soul and invigorating ride quality of the original, but with added practicality. As well as a built-in rear rack the Next Generation also features secure helmet storage under the saddle. With twin headlights and integrated indicators it’s also the sleekest BW’S yet.  |
