No Reserve – 1994 Yamaha TZM50R

Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

While the YSR50 has become relatively commonplace here in the United States, its successor – the TZM50R – is a far-sight rarer. Yamaha released the bike in an effort to rival Honda’s highly successful NSR50.

The TZM’s 49cc two-stroke engine was good for 7 horsepower and 4.5lb-ft of torque — more than output enough to move the little bike’s 170-pound heft. Unlike many other small-displacement singles, it sported an electric start and a set 12″ wheels with disc brakes front and rear.

This example is VIN: 4KJ082903. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan; prior history is not known.

The odometer shows 3,317 kilometers (2,061 miles).

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us clean and tune the carb, replace the transmission oil, flush the cooling system, install new spark plugs, and replace the hydraulic fluid. We also flushed the brakes, straightened the rear brake lever, and replaced the right-hand footrest and pedal cover.
