Collector Quality Minis? 87 Yamaha YSR50 And 87 Suzuki GSXR50 (Gag 50)

I hadn’t seen any mini’s worth posting in a while until I ran across these two one night while sipping a mighty fine gin and tonic. Hopefully those fermented juniper berries didn’t cloud my judgement. Other than a few unwanted stickers they both look like clean little bikes with very low miles. Judge for yourself it they would make a good addition to your collection.

Like I said, there are few stickers that shouldn’t be there but get past that and you have a nice unmolested YSR50. Finding a YSR to purchase isn’t a problem but finding one that hasn’t been modified is. This owner somehow fought the urge to to even throw a pipe on it.

The facts:

935 original miles
unmodified original survivor.
synthetic 2 stroke oil
usually starts 1st kick
In my collection for 5 years
Bill of Sale – Title lost
Runs great, rides great.
Doesn’t require tag or insurance like a scooter, as it is 49cc.
For sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.
Local pick up only, I can meet with your shipper for pick up.

Rare indeed in this condition. Instead of taking care of them, a lot of owners were rattle can painting them various colors of the rainbow or using the owners manual as a table leveling device instead of properly maintaining them. This one will have a new home in just a number of days as there is no reserve. Everyone likes an auction where there will be a winner. .

Now, if you are a Schwantz guy and not a Rainey man, then you might be interested in the GSXR or GAG50. If rarity is your priority then the GSXR is for you. If performance (in relative terms) or the ability to add aftermarket parts is a priority then you better stick with the YSR. The little GSXR does not share its’ bigger brothers reputation for speed.

From the auction:
