Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 1989 Yamaha YSR50. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
The Yamaha YSR50 was the most common of the rare 50cc sportbikes that came from Japan in the late 80s and early 90s. An instant classic, the YSR50 was always street legal and always seems to put a smile on the face of riders and spectators.
Built to look like a mini RZ500, the YSR50 also featured mini performance. The 49.3cc two-stroke engine was capable of pushing the bike up to 38 miles per hour, but companies like Team Calamari have been making stock performance numbers useless with years of aftermarket parts and performance modifications if you are so inclined.
Manufactured in August of 1988, this example is VIN: JYA3FDN07KA006141. The seller acquired the bike seven years ago. He is the second owner.
