Here is a shot of my ol buddy on the bike before I started working on it. It was kinda beat up and a friend of mine had tried to strip off the paint but got distracted and gave up. :lol: Hell we were only in high school!
Ah seeing it like this makes me sick. Such a cool bike neglected so much. I really had a fun time working on this little wheeler. I sold the bike to a guy at one of the restaurants I had worked at who then sold it to one of my other friends who always thought the bike was cool. Then the friend that
I bought it from took it from him! So the little YSR50 went full circle and is still owned by a good friend of mine. He bored out the engine and bought all sorts of trick parts for it. I think he's crazy cause the bike it still slow, haha. It REALLY needs a bigger engine! It would have been cheaper to put a larger engine in it than the parts he built the current engine up with. I'm not sure how much the bike was bored out but you can only go so big. I'll have to update this thread sometime and get some recent pictures of it. At least he's holding on to the bike for good this time.
I wouldn't mind getting one of those modern Honda 50 race bikes! Now those look like something worth putting a little effort into.
