My friend had a rs50. It was fun to commute around town on it since it felt so sporty. We'd try to find hills and see how fast we could get it haha.

I've had 3 (2 street legal and 1 track)

They're ok for the street stock but I'd get a bigger carb + pipe. If you have money, do the derbi/RS50 motor swap which is a lot more reliable and you have the option for the big bore kits (you can get up to 75-80mph). I'll post pics of my old ones when I get home.

That dude must have been smoking crack to pay $6k for a YSR regardless of what it had. For $2500-3000, I would have bought a street legal NSR50/80
