Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

In the 80s, motorcycle manufacturers were attempting to reach new riders by developing smaller size toys. Honda had the Mini Trail, Kawasaki had the KV, and Yamaha had a street option with the YSR. Suzuki had the RV50 for the dirt as well as a full-faired baby sportbike, the RB50 GAG. The RB, released in 1986, featured 4 different liveries: red/white, a blue/white replica of its bigger GSX-R brothers, a grey/white tribute to a bomber plane, and the pink “Little Racing” livery complete with a few rabbits. Why? We have no idea, but how many all-pink OEM paint jobs do you know about?

Despite the toy-like nature, the RB actually had a proper aluminum box frame, hydraulic disc brake at the front and full-floater aluminum swingarm. The 141-pound bike was powered by a small 4-stroke 5.2hp engine.

Suzuki offered the RB50 (sold as the GSX-R50 in the UK) for just a couple of years, making them as rare in the US as they are smile-inducing to ride.

This example is VIN: LA41A100993. The seller acquired the bike from a private party out of Northern California approximately two years ago.

The odometer shows 685 kilometer (425 miles).

Maintenance:
Per the seller, “I just recently changed the oil and installed a brand new air filter along with a carb clean.”

Modifications:
The seller states that this RB50 GAG is stock.

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Dunlop K686n tires that have aged out.

The sale includes one key.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
“Has a couple stress cracks where the rearview mirror mounts.”

“Small crack where the left front signal mounts.”

“Small paint rub on the left mid fairing.”

Currently located in Maxwell, California, this Suzuki is offered on a Bill of Sale only. Have any RB50 GAG stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
