Description
Released in 1990 as the successor to the 1988-released KSR-1, the KSR-2 was part of the “Superbikers” craze in Japanese motorcycling –small little pocket bikes which blended strong performance, customization, and unique aesthetics. Inspired by the bosozoku legacy, many of these little bikes were outfitted with neon lights, custom exhausts, and retro styling.
The KRS-2 had 12-inch wheels, versus the 1’s 10-inch wheels, and the 49cc engine became liquid cooled. Production didn’t last long as the two-stroke didn’t meet the changing emissions standards, however, Team Green would release an updated model, the KRS110, later in the 1990s and many of the parts are interchangeable to create even more personalized touches.
This example is VIN: MX080B011265. The seller purchased the bike at auction in Japan three years ago.
The odometer shows 5,618 kilometers (3,490 miles).
