1984 Yamaha RX50 Midnight Special Cruiser - Unrestored and very Rare!
In the 80s. Japanese manufacturers produced several 50cc bikes -- though nearly all were in plastics that were reminiscent of sportbikes. Yamaha YSR50 was one of the most well-known. This bike. the Yamaha RX50. was styled in the opposite spectrum -- as the tiniest cruiser that's probably ever been sold. Styled as a miniature version of a Virago . this bike was released in 1983 as part of a promotion for the "Midnight Special" cruiser line. Certain dealers received one of these RX50's to sell or raffle off to bring customers in the doors. The Yamaha RX50 shared its drivetrain with the YSR50. so you get a redline of 10. 00 rpm. 7. 5 horsepower. and a top speed of around 50-60 mph. depending on your weight. Under 200 pounds. this bike is easy to control. and would be a great beginner bike if they weren't so rare! At this point. these bikes are collectible novelties. and they very rarely come up for sale. Only imported for two years. and in two colors. owners of this bike are lucky as even though it's rare. the mechanical parts are easy to source due to the YSR50 connection. Mechanically. everything works. so just gas it and go. This is a rare bike with a lot to offer. It is in great condition. Purrs nicely! So fun to ride! Pink slip in hand. This bike has a non-op on it. There are 5 gears.
