Ep. #11 Little Giant: The PW50 Story

By Brett Smith

Was the PW50 your first bike? It was for me! “Little Giant: The PW50 Story” celebrates the life and legacy of this iconic motorcycle, which turned 40 in 2020. It may have aged but it hasn’t grown up. The Yamaha PW50 is a familiar piece of our childhood that we’re passing along to our own kids.
