PeeWee turns thirty

You never forget the first time you ride a motorcycle, so it's certain that Ricky, Bubba and Chad will be raising a glass on the PeeWee's 30th birthday. Why not give your offspring the chance to emulate a dirt legend by starting them off on the first dedicated fun bike?

The PW50 is designed for small riders, with ergonomics to suit. A fully auto engine lets junior concentrate on the ride and twin push bike style brake levers are handily located within grasp of little fingers. An efficient and unbelievably quiet two-stroke engine powers the little beast and there's a throttle stop limiter that allows adults to dial in the right amount of power.

Most amazing of all, in those 30 years since its launch, the PW50 has remained largely unchanged. The 49cc two-stroke engine; the tough, cast three spoke wheels and the unique duckbill front end design are all remarkably similar on the 2011 model to the unit revealed in 1981.

The fact that Yamaha engineers have not significantly changed the entry level fun bike design is evidence of how right they got the original PW50.

Today PW50 buyers can look forward to some great offers when they place their orders in the lead up to xmas. A bonus kid's camping pack including tent, sleeping bag, drink bottle and backpack valued at $220 is sure to appeal to your little tacker. And the offer of $200 worth of free gear when you finance with YMF is too good to pass up.

So head to your nearest participating dealer and make sure your budding Ricky, Chad or Bubba wakes up to a PW50 under the tree on xmas morning.
