特洛伊的海伦不得不面对一个如此美丽,她推出了千元船舶(或至少,这是对特洛伊战争中希腊的借口;一个奇迹,经过10年的战斗,如果他们想通,她是值得的)。该摩托车相同呢?考虑雅马哈YSR50,一台机器,是如此多的乐趣,它可能推出了千元roadracing事业。

建为(低)速度

该YSR50出道于80年代中期,当超级赛车是大生意。我从来没有见过机器的深入解释根,它是专为初学者街头车手,或者是它设计成从一开始就trackday玩具吗?无论它实际上应该是一个自行车比赛中,YSR50成为在赛道著名。它的红色和白色的车身看上去就像一个适当的雅马哈赛车,即使这是一个袖珍自行车。

原始YSR发动机是空气冷却49CC二冲程,具有簧片阀诱导,与五速变速箱和Kickstarter的(许多头脑发热如何配有Kickstarter的这些天?)。据说,它在8800转制成7马力,和一个非常温和的4-ISH扭矩中的8500转英尺磅。考虑到蝇头纤巧的发动机,这些数量分别不可怕。由于许多这些被出售给赛车手,它不足为奇,其中许多人结束了(后面有更多介绍)修改了更多的权力。

即使没有进入大口径套件和发动机掉期,有很多潜在的这款发动机,与任何两冲程。但无论你对发动机有什么,你永远不会变成一个高速的超级摩托车,实在是没有足够的空间框架的东西,在可怕的快速功率。

That was the appeal of the YSR50. As long as you could physically fit on the bike, you could have yourself a sharp-handling machine with looks reminiscent of the era’s fastest race-winners, but you weren’t going to be ripping around at insane speed. Instead, you could focus on cornering. In stock form, the bike topped out around 40 mph. Instead of straight-line adrenaline, you could focus on muscling those 12-inch wheels around corners at max lean angle. Dry weight was 165 pounds; with a 25.5-inch seat height, this was a bike that anyone could manage.

话虽如此,它肯定是一种有利于短小车手一台机器,你可以在下方(注意,下面的机器是以前的88年YSR新英格兰摩托车博物馆都出售,而视频中看到一个早已被现在没有了):

乐趣的赛道

该YSR50是街道法律从工厂。它带着眼罩,刹车灯,头灯,以及其他一切需要保持约翰尼法高兴。所以,当然,第一件事情,很多骑手做的是,带过所有的垃圾,把他们的自行车赛道。经过20世纪80年代到90年代,你会看到这些自行车赛道时,有时作为pitbikes,有时硬塞进某种小型摩托车系列,有时在他们自己的规格主演的电视剧。

Not everyone was interested in the machines at first, but some industry insiders saw massive potential. One of my moto-buddies, Frank, owned a string of dealerships in Atlantic Canada through the 1980s and early 1990s. When he saw the YSR50, he called up Yamaha Canada and ordered a whole container of the bikes. He told me head office called him back, thinking he’d made a mistake. Nope, he hadn’t—Frank had a plan.

Over the following months, Frank and friends set up a YSR50 spec series that ran all over Atlantic Canada, even closing down major city streets to race the bikes on public roads. They had no problem moving the container-load of YSRs. Sadly, the series didn’t last; the bike went out of production, and now, the machines themselves are becoming increasingly rare.

So what about this bike?

SOOOOO ......而股票YSR是冷静和所有,这个1988年的模型,在加拿大安大略省销售,更是有趣。卖方已就挂牌出售复古道路赛车协会的Facebook页面并具有以下细节:

“1988年YSR50与有效安大略所有权。
亚历梅斯内置和调谐YZ125水冷电机。
One off Alex Mays pipe.
自xs400基于叉。
桁摆臂
Daytona wheels with Yokohama tires
Grimeca卡钳前期和磁盘就回来了。
太多的其他废话类型。

A tuned YZ125 motor, with custom exhaust? Surely that puts out at least 30 horsepower. The braced swingarm and upgraded brakes and wheels sound good too, and as for the XS400 forks … it sounds a bit mad, but they must work, if they’re still on the bike.

老实说,这不是每个人的机器,甚至没有一般的勋。这一切听起来像潮湿whoolies和一般的乐趣,但如果你只是希望粉碎了一个小型摩托车,请购买本田格罗姆。这是他们所擅长的。但是,如果你正在寻找一个小型赛车,这将是各种有趣的在当地的俱乐部,那么也许它的价值搞清楚如何让这辆车从安大略交付。当然,跨国旅行是相当多的,也有一些加拿大各省之间的美国和加拿大之间,但商业承运人仍然来回。哪里有给自己两冲程racebike意愿,有办法!它目前被列为“以旧换新”的选项,但每个人都知道,冷,硬现金会谈。
