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.
