The Yamaha BW’S 125, or also known as the Zuma in the US markets, can be considered the very first adventure scooter. Launched in 2009, it predates the likes of the Honda X-ADV by more than half a decade, although its small stature and tiny engine are very much different from Honda’s big-bore ADV scooter. That said, Yamaha has updated the BW’S for 2023 with a bunch of techie touches that bring it to the modern age.
Initially launched in Taiwan, the 2023 update of the Yamaha BW’S features more adventure-focused styling updates. The most notable of which are the new asymmetrical headlights that give the bike a rally look. On top of that, the instrument cluster has also been updated to provide a more rugged look. Apart from that, the BW’S retains its adventurous aesthetic with boxy bodywork, tall ground clearance, and dual-sport tires
