The Yamaha BW’S 125, an unconventional automatic scooter, has been updated for the 2020 model year in Japan


The premium urban runabout is priced at 3,35,000 yen (around INR 2.38 lakh). Described by Yamaha as ‘open crossover’ style, the BW’S 125 receives design inspiration from adventure tourers. The bare handlebar with knuckle guards, dual-purpose tyres, rear luggage rack, steering-mounted LED indicators (like fog lights in appearance) and sharp front mudguard render the scooter an outdoorsy appeal.

The bulky front apron with twin element headlamp (one projector and one halogen) adds to the 2020 Yamaha BW’S 125’s quirky appeal. Other noteworthy features include a fully digital circular LED instrument display, twin-taillight, alloy brake levers, 3-in-1 main key switch, apron-mounted fuel filler and a 6.5-liter fuel tank.

The 2020 Yamaha BW’S 125 features a 29 liter underseat storage compartment which is claimed to accommodate a full-size helmet or a laptop. There is also an open 4-liter niche on the left side of the apron.

The premium automatic scooter is based on an under-bone chassis and is equipped with 33 mm telescopic front fork and adjustable (preload) twin rear shock absorbers. A 245 mm front and 200 mm rear disc take care of braking duties. The 10-inch five-spoke alloy wheels come shod with chunky 120/90 section front and rear tyres which should make for sporty riding.

The premium hardware is matched with a 124 cc air-cooled, fuel-injected, 4-valve engine which is paired to a CVT. Power and torque figures stand at 9.9 hp and 9.9 Nm of torque which is adequate for a zippy ride in urban environment. Given the premium positioning and adventure tourer appeal of the BW’S 125, a slightly larger and more powerful engine would have been an attractive proposition. That said, the 125 cc mill addresses popular segment with a promise of impressive fuel economy.

The Yamaha BW’S 125 automatic scooter is not likely to be launched in India since it would be too expensive for our market. Yamaha India has the 125 cc covered with the recently updated Fascino and Ray ZR 125 models. However, a BW’S-style dual-purpose scooter based on the Indianized 125 cc platform would be an interesting proposition to take on the popular Aprila SR125.

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir
