Aprilia RS50 Fun Ride Out

A friend left their Aprilia RS50 in the shop for a few weeks, so what's a person going to do :) These were the poster bikes of my youth, but I had to make do riding around on a tuned Suzuki X1 that could give AR80's a run for their money. Considering its age and my heft, it did all right, fond memories indeed.....

Hola ! Ese motor va muy bien. Que modificaciones le has hecho al Minareli AM6 ? He visto que tiene un tubo de escape no original. Saludos desde UE 🇪🇺🇪🇦👋🏼

These bikes are more fun to ride than super bikes

[@MCSR52]

It was as much fun as the big RZ’s and RG’s trying to keep this little 50 on pipe. Put a big smile on my face 😁

España tiene mucha historia relacionada con motos de 50cc.
Mucha gente va con motos de esta cilindrada.
Son muy buenas y muy fiables.

@@MCSR52 I have a Suzuki RG 80 Gamma, what is your opinion about it?

[@MCSR52]

@@kerepeczkibence2540 Amazing bikes, I luv all of the RG range. My best friend bought an RG125 from new and it blew our minds, I was riding a GP100 at that time. I still have a Walter Wolf RG250.

[@kerepeczkibence2540]

@@MCSR52 It is amazing to me how fast is the RG80, despite its engine size. 10 horsepower, 12 newton meters of torque. I think it would easily smoke a 125cc 4 stroke till 100kmh

Fun little bike.

[@bartsshorts]

that colour was my personal favorite, 100% stock, but those tetslya stickers behind the mirrors are not stock.

[@bramvermaat1453]

Yes they are. And it's Tetsuya. It's exactly the same as on my 2000 Rs.

El tubo de escape no es original 🤔 aún que suena bastante parecido.

[@bartsshorts]

@@bramvermaat1453 you have a rs50 2000 model? what color is that?

[@Winner3ty]

I'm going to be getting a Rossi replica RS in a few weeks. I prefer that livery a bit more personally.

[@bramvermaat1453]

@@bartsshorts This exact one. "Aprilia RS50 Black" it was called. So yeah, black and red.

[@imthebossxd8888]

Could you recommend this bike ?

[@MCSR52]

If you are looking for a 50cc then yes, great styling and a lot of fun, especially if you find one with a big bore kit and upgraded carb.

[@SimplicityForGood]

are these older rs50 quick enough to lean deep into turns and round abouts ? or will they be too slow with too little torque to dare to lean deep into a curve? what are people's experiences of this? thanks "

[@panic-room-press]

I mean they are 50cc 2 strokes, which by definition means they have no torque. Knee down on a turn with this would be overkill for sure.

[@ServeraServera0]

@@panic-room-press I have seen competitions of tuned 50cc with 80cc kits, bikes capable of doing 160 or 180kmh, they really lean down on the track
