Engineered by Yamaha for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2015 Yamaha YW125 BeeWee features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 52.4 x 57.9 mm (2.1 x 2.3 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the YW125 BeeWee measures 121 kg (267 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
