My aprilia RS50 rebuilt and tuned!

[BanditBoy12]

Hey guys,
My first post here! Im on the aprilia forum (AF1).
Just abit of background, im very interestested in bikes, been brought up with bikes (dads got a collection on british bikes and Italian bikes).
So here is my first bike, an aprilia rs50! Its got a airsal ported top end, arrow exhaust and 16mm dellorto that i have just re jetted to suite the ported to end. Power comes in at 8.5k and is strong at 10k and ends at 12k. So pretty peaky!

Here are a few photo's! Hopefully no one will mock me and my little 50 too much! I am only 16!

Nice, I'd quite like a go on a tweaked RS50 just to see how it compared to my old restricted TS50, I'm sure it would feel glacial compared to anything I've ridden recently but still a bag of fun I bet.

Beats my TS, I think the very top of 4th may have just touched 30mph, speedy speedy. Bet the RS actually does corners though!

It goes suprisingly well! It will do a genuine 60mph in the right conditions and an indicated 65mph. Im looking forward to fitting a ported big bore kit and a larger carb (dellorto 24mm)...should make it go abit better! Im in love with this bike, parts are so cheap, very cheap to run and huge fun!

c_dug my friend has a TS50, very old skool!

Thanks for the comments.

looks like a nice place to start but be sensible with it, get tugged for driving otherwise than in accordance and you'll have a hard time insuring anything else for quite awhile

Nearly bought one of theese as a cheapy knock about for the mrs once.

May yet do this...50cc race meets look like massive fun for minimal cost. Need to diet before that though

The bike looks nice

To be honest I've never ridden a bike with engine smaller than 125cc. So I can't imagine how 50cc go.. but I'm surprised they have gears.. I thought it was more like a moped lol

I have an AM6 engine in the garage if you ever need to find one. Took it out of a 4 yr old pug XP 50 sm that was crashed beyond financial repair. New crank less than a month before.

Proper little race engine them..o ring head etc and a doddle to work on......wish the 2 strokes of my day were as well built!

Don't throw too much money at it cause you won't get it back in resale value and the second you turn 17 you'll be wanting to buy something bigger!

gt125 twin ?

i'd like something like an rd125 twin/ lc , probably would have been cheaper to run them than the cg i had.

yes x5 is the x7's smaller slimmer brother

Rxs was fun for a while and then got boring, 200 is slightly better ,but 350 would be ideal i think, rxs will do the job though, mine never broke down

How incredibly refreshing to see someone of your age that is enthusiastic, willing to learn, knowledgeable and isn't a complete retard. Keep it up
