never knew these were made

5.2hp @ 7.000 rpm!

Going OT here (sorry in advance) Has anyone been to the Sammy Miller museum and seen the four pot 50cc motor on display? I was impressed anyway, given that it is 40-50 years old!

[Git]

Quiet old now I would think, the last time I see one on the road was 10years ago or so, more of a gimmick bike perhaps.

edit, just read the specs, yup, quiet old

Hi

Seen them years ago, but not for ages. Dealer down near Southampton had a load in. Complete with SACS (Suzuki Advanced Comical System).

All the best

Yep, www.robwillsher.com.

However, if it's still there, I don't believe it's for sale.

i also like the fact that it is single seated.

never understanded why 50's have pillion seats, there pretty much useless to most people.

its got a 4t engine, putting out around 5hp, not bad. but i wonder if an rs50 engine, or maybe a small 125 will fit in it?

if love to see one in the metal.

[nick.h]

If you knew the right people i'm sure you could make it fit.

4t 50, whats that good for 30mph?

Hi

Honda and Yamaha also produced these small gag bikes. Probably the best known was the Yamaha YSR50 (which was a 2 stroke so quite a bit quicker), and the bigger engined YSR80 version.

Not sure if any of them were officially imported to the UK but you do see them around for sale.

All the best
