NOS Purge Video:
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.
Strong sales and strong aftermarket support has made the YSR a popular platform for a wide variety of custom builds, from dedicated road racers to wild experiments like a police bike or this drag bike with the engine from a Yamaha RZ350!
This example is VIN: JYA2RRA04JA017442. The seller acquired it from the builder six years ago in Chicago, Illinois. The frame has been powercoated and the VIN is not easily legible.
During his ownership, the seller has covered 1 mile. There is no odometer, true mileage is unknown.
