Tyres for my Yamaha BW 50 Motorcycle

First introduced in 1989 and having been through three generations to date, the BW 50 is well known in the marketplace. While early models had two-stroke power, the latest version has a four-stroke engine which is sparky enough to keep up with urban traffic and is mated to an automatic gearbox which makes it a great beginner’s scooter. Operation is a simple matter of switch on, twist and go. The fuel tank is mounted low down in the frame to help with balance. As an added bonus, the Yamaha can return over 150 MPG too.

The Yamaha has a step-through steel frame which, combined with wide footboards, a generous seat and ergonomic handlebars, makes for a comfortable ride. There’s a decent amount of under-seat storage which makes it a practical choice too. Suspension is by a 26mm fork with a single shock absorber at the front and a swing arm at the rear. Yamaha BW 50 tyres are 120/90 R10s, mounted on smart five-spoke alloy wheels.

For a bike likely to be favoured by first-timers obviously safety is an important consideration, so grippy tyres are a must. Buyers can also be reassured by the BW 50’s brakes which combine a disk at the front and drum at the rear for decent stopping power.

Of course, for younger buyers, looking good is also important. The BW 50 scores here too with its twin headlight ‘bug eye’ design and brightly coloured panels and graphics that make it stand out from the crowd.
