Title: I got a new toy! (what else is new)
Post by: crystal on May 27, 2007, 09:06:54 PM
I've been pretty hesitant to get back on the ninja since my crash last year, so I decided to pick up something a bit more my size to get back in the swing of things. It's a 1989 YSR 50 and it's 100% street legal ;) The Red 07 FZ6 is Nick's first bike, he just got it about a week ago.

Man, I'd be even more leery on a smaller bike. 

You need a big, bright orange flag sticking up behind you so folks can see you :D

I guess this way you're riding the bike and it isn't riding you....

Well, it DOES look like it's the perfect size for someone of your stature.

Looks like a fun little bike. How much power does it make,lol. I kinda miss my old 600 after seing your ninja though

I'm a short 6'8" so it should fit me fine...oh wait...nevermind.  You don't quite realize how small the YZR is until you put it next to the FZ6.

Serious. Considering how good a job most drivers do looking out for bikes (they don't) I think I'd be scared to ride that on the street.

For the most part it's just a kick around local thing. If I realy want to take it anywhere, I'd just as soon toss it in the back of the ranchero. I'll probably ride it out to a couple places, but at more off times when it comes to traffic.

Power wise I think it makes 7.x hp... Motor upgrades to come ;)

OMG I havent seen one of those since my time in Hawaii.... Those things are just a little 50CC motor. BUT there are kits out there to cram a 125CC motor in the frame. First thing you should do to see a quick improvement on its performance is to upgrade to a 60CC carb then slap on some solid aluminum rims to lighten it up plus a better pipe. Ive seen a YSR that had the 125CC swap and it was insanely fast for its size.

Wow... that's a tiny bike.  But it looks like it was made for you.  So nice find.  Enjoy!
