Should Be Called Bs Not Bws
I have had this bike (Bws 125 ) for four weeks Brand new bike only 350 miles on it so far .
Im not impressed because it keeps stalling when i stop at the lights or junctions .
I cant really understand why every one raves about how good they are may be i just got a bad one.
Well the yamaha monkeys collected this pile of junk looked at it for a week couldnt find any thing wrong when they road tested it and delivered it back .
The second day of riding it after it being returned it started playing up again has a flat spot and is really slow .
Once again yamaha thanks for showing me how rubbish your bikes and mechanics are .
This piece of junk will be going back to the yamaha monkeys yet again when they collect it as its really slow to pull away and no where near as fast as it should be push bike again i suppose .
Well the Yamaha Dealer has had the BS for a week now and its still not fixed i had to get the RAC out after it would not start out side my work the rac bloke got it going after about two minuites i rode it home it stalled and yamaha collected it from my house that night. To be honest i dont think they have a clue what is wrong with it .
I can now understand why people call japanese bikes JAP ****
Just An update the BS will be going back to the dealer for the second time as it is still stalling even after the dealer changed the coil pack ht lead and spark plug the first time it went in.
I also had it serviced while it was in the first time .
I hope it will be fixed this time but to be honest it dont feel that confident and really dont enjoy riding it, as im taking risk at junctions and round abouts in case it stalls when i stop .

I have a yammy(hehe) bws50 2006. I have put some money into it. Compared to a car, I'm laughing. A little slow off the line. Smallest investment for largest payoff. Great in the city. Cheap on gas. No, I don't work for a dealer. All stock, runs great. I want to drive it forever. Summer's coming, can't wait. BWS 50cc club, what do you think? It's fun. I love my yammy.
Not gunna lie BWS CW50's ARE THE BEST SCOOTERS EVER :)

I Have Recently Bought A Bw (1990 H Reg)since The
I have recently bought a BW (1990 H reg)since the ever incresing fuel costs to commute to work which is now costing me £6 as opposed to £40 a week in the car and in all honestly a can not fault it, other than it is a little slow on hills.
I would highley reccomend the bike for anyone wished to commute to work and run around and also beat the ever increasing fule cost.
hello I have the same bike, same year, is yours restricted to 30mph, it is the law in England but I don't know if a restrictor was fitted to comply, if yours is unrestricted how well does it run?

Had The Little Yammie For 2 Months And Serving Me
Had the little yammie for 2 months and serving me good, mine is a French import so not restricted fully, its reliable but does not like cold mournings, it has taken from Nottingham to Skegness and back with 3 days worth camping stuff and cost in fuel was £4.00 there and £4.00 back, I have a huge respect for this scooter, don't buy a cheap Chinese import get one of these.
Thank you Sam.

I Love My Bws, Its Called Billy, My Folks Bought I
I love my BWS, its called Billy, my folks bought it for my 16th and its still going strong 5 years on!
A few bad points: its quite hard to get parts for, also severe lack of storage means you end up carrying your helmet everywhere.
Good points: big tyres make it very stable and comfortable, picks up speed well, not very common so it stands out a bit, easy to control generally, even with loads of scratches it still looks fairly good, an all round great first bike.
Having said that mine doesnt like starting on cold mornings and getting access to do any work on it is a nightmare (it took 2 hours to change a spark plug!), but I still think i picked the best 'ped in the shop!

I have a BWS NG (Next generation) which has been de-restricted. I've had it for 3 months now and it's great.
Pros:
Reliable
Quick
Manouverable
Good tyres
Cons:
Not enough room for helmet under seat
Lights are quite dim
Does not always start on the electric
Not as fuel efficient as expected

The Bws Is Probably The Best Scooter I Have Ever O
The Bws is probably the best scooter I have ever owned, and this will be my 8th different manufacturer of bike. Stock power was a little low to start with but a little race exhaust made hills more bearable and it seemed a little quicker off the mark too. I have an older model of the Bws so I imagine the later ones are better still. I would take this any day over the Chinese imports or any other 50cc bike. Value for money is just insane and even after 14 years this little bike is still going strong!

Great On Gas. Starter Still Works Fine. Good Looki
Great on gas. Starter still works fine. Good looking scooter. A little weak
up hills is my only complaint. Otherwise an awesome scooter. Great in the city. I wish I knew how much the financing was going to cost me. I got all the recommended maintenance for the first couple of years. I think it'll last forever. I love my BWS.

Bws 2006 Has Just Started Breaking Down Costing Me
BWS 2006 has just started breaking down costing me more money then I care to put into a scooter so soon. I thought it would have lasted longer. For a 2006 I didn't expect to already pay $900.00 in fixing it. Might aswell buy a new one for that price.
