Yamaha RZ50; 6 Speed, 50cc, 2 Stroke | RTW  

Glad to have you here. Enjoy the videos!

Same here. Luckily enough there are still quite a few around.

Thats so awesome. The AC50 is a real looker.

Thats my favourite speed!

My Peugeot goes to "Marelli" 😂

Haha I completely understand. It was only the first run I wasn’t really looking down due to the rain and watching for other vehicles, but after a quick peak down I got a shock. Managed to mostly keep it away from there after that pull. Amazing fun to ride, not the first time I’ve ridden these RZ50’s. All the power being above 8-9k makes for interesting times.

@@SmallBikeStuff Size must be relevant as I once owned Yamaha RD200's, an RD250, & RD350, and they left many Honda 750's back at the stop lights very frustrated and red faced. The little RD200's were particularly quick out of the hole, and most power on those 2 strokes was obtained at the end of the rev range ! Had to stay on the "pipe" as we used to say to keep em flying ! And fly they did ! They sounded like thousands of angry hornets !!! Not unlike the RZ50, lol !!!

Its a 2 stroke, so the amount of damage that can be caused by overrev is fairly limited. No valves to float. Eventually ofc the rod will let go, but the engine should hit an airflow limit before that happens.

I ended my note with J/k !!! That stands for Just KiDDING, as I was just kidding with him, Christ lighten up people, LMAO !!! Ribbing someone and another person feels indignant, Holy Cow !!! Must be on medical marijuana, haha, wow meeaann ???

If only these kinds of bikes were still produced. It would be a more exciting world!

Interesting - just did a quick google. Does look very similar.

Yamaha's are great bikes!

Probably doesn’t neeeeeeed disc brakes but it makes it more snappy and fun.

Thems fighting words around here. Haha. Filmed in New Zealand!

@@SmallBikeStuff I’m sorry dude! As a Scotsman that’s like you calling me English 🙈

That would be awesome! I'd love to do the length of NZ too. It's worth having a look for importers in the USA as a lot of these bikes now meet requirements to be legal in the USA.

I had a MB-5 when I was young. Liked it better than the MT-5. it was as close to a real motorcycle you could get when you where 15 :)

That’s so awesome! Love the RD’s!

Absolute legend! Thanks for taking the time to hit that button.

It definitely would! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, yes we use kilometers here - metric system too. This bike runs super well!

Thanks for watching! Love it down your way. Have a good summer.

Thanks Rico! Supposedly about 7HP.

I've seen a blue one before. They look really good. Nice bikes for sure!

Thanks so much! Yes the pipe is my favourite part.

High revs and a good clutch 😅

South Africa had and still has a great 2 stroke scene. It's nice to see them still being taken care of somewhere. Small bikes are best when ridden at the limit! Cheers for watching.

I had a modified Suzuki RG50, I ran circles around the MBX's,

Just a generic GPS speedo app.

Rides well, looks even better! Can't ask for more.

Either friends or bike shops. This one is from a shop I worked at many years ago.

​@@SmallBikeStuffare these bikes open to the public to view? Would love to come look at all of these! At adrenalyn motorcycles right?

That would be a dream!

You would have to search for a Yamaha RZ50 engine.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

The best!

It certainly wakes you up.

These sell in the Japanese auctions quite often. Search Yamah RZ50 auction on google and have a look around. This one wasn't for sale.

It sure is. Cheers for watching!
