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.
We’ve sold several YSR50s here on Iconic over the years, including rare variants like the Gauloises replica, Marlboro GP replica and the Tech 21 replica. One of the rarest versions was the UCC (Ueshima Coffee Company) replica, which was only offered in the Japanese market.
UCC sponsored the Japanese national roadracing championships and what you see on this YSR50 was a tribute to the race liveries of Yamaha’s YZR500s competing in the GP500 All Japan Road Race Championship in the late 80s.
