I bought a GSXR

[Kickstart]

Hi

Got my new bike today. Another GSXR, although this one is a bit smaller.

A Suzuki GSXR50 / RB50.

I'm sure I remember you being quite a tall fellow, are these small bikes quite comfortable?

[Kickstart]

Hi

I'm not that tall. About 5'7"~ 5'8", and the YSR is not that uncomfortable for quick blats (an hour or so is fine). The GSXR is smaller and less comfortable, but other than across the garden I haven't ridden it yet.

Needs quite a bit doing to it. Seems to be burning a fair amount of oil and the paintwork is a mess. Tyres are also a bit low (10" wheels).

The baby GSXR beside the YSR.

50 as in 50cc wow i really didnt know they made a GSXR50 thats well good , you learn something everyday

[Scouse]

I've just clicked on what you're doing. You're buying smaller and smaller bikes because your garage is running out of space and the smaller ones fill in the gaps in the corners.

[davthegreat]

i just looked at one of these bikes on google surely these cant be riden on the road there like vintage mini-motos or pitbikes

[davthegreat]

for people who dont know much about these bikes ie: me theres a good website explaining all

Very nice Keith

You just need to get that NSR50 now to complete the collection

[Kickstart]

[davthegreat]

id love to own one of these little dinky bikes does anyone know the sort of price an allright one goes for

[Kickstart]

Hi

Prices are all over the place. I paid £565, but I paid £1200 for the YSR (the YSR was in far better condition when I bought it and had only done 197km from new). Think there was a GSXR50 on Ebay recently in immaculate condition with negligable miles with a buy it now price of £2k. There was an NSR50 at the Stafford show today for £1650.

This one is going to require fair amount of work to bring it to useable condition.

All the best

Keith

im in love i think im gonna get rid of my senda and get one of these or get one as well 16 and riding a GSXR50, parking at college would be no problem

[davthegreat]

if anyone sees one of these for £600 +/- which i dout please give me a pm i would be very interested, and it would go to a loving home


£250 for me to get insured on one third party, £320 for fire and theft according to ebike. a bargin i just have to find one for sale at the right price now

[Kickstart]

Hi

Not many at that kind of price. I have seen YSRs for a bit more, but they were in far worse condition than this RB50.

While this one was about that price it needs some engine work, steering head bearings, fork seals and new tyres, and the fairing is a bit of a mess.

All the best

Keith

thanks

im in love with these little bikes, gotta get one to turn up at the local bike meet/night on, plus go to college on and other random ride outs

[Kickstart]

Hi

Had more of a look at it today, trying to work out the bits I need.

Fairing lowers are a mess (melted) and it needs new ones, GRP ones available.
Swinging arm spindle is broken . The head is missing. New one required but not available.
Caps over the end of the swinging arm are missing (6122204702 ).
Forks are pitted and need rechroming.
Front rubber mount for the tank has been bodged. Needs a new one (4451104700 )
Both fuel hoses have perished. Has 2 hoses from the tank to the seperate reserve switch (0934305096 )
Front brake hose clamp missing (5924639100 ). Whole hose looks way too long so a new one is needed.
Brake caliper mounting bolts looks wrong. Probably best to get new ones (0151708307 ).

Front right indicator is a mess. However it looks like the rears on my 1200 Bandit (but with bullet connectors rather than a proper block connector).

Will probably add more parts to this post as I find what is wrecked.

All the best

Keith

If GSXR's are made of 100% win
