This 1989 Yamaha YSR-50 isn’t anywhere close to perfect, but it is a nice, functional example of what was a very popular — if slightly weird — part of Yamaha’s past. They might be tiny, but modifications abound for the 7 horsepower, 50cc two-stroke single, which will raise the top speed above the original 38…
In 1996, Suzuki endeavored to make its GSX-R 750 reclaim its spot atop magazine tests, superbike grids and riders’ wishlists with a redesigned frame that aped the RGV500 grand prix bike, and the introduction of the now-legendary SRAD ram-air system.

Kawasaki built the ZX7 line for what seems like the last third of the last millennium, ending its run with a reputation for being smooth, comfortable and reliable, but behind its 750cc-class competitors as a track bike. The reputation gained by the later bikes belies the roots laid by the 1991 Kawasaki ZX-7RK. An out-of-the-box…
