Here is his bike that my best friend Josh brought quite a while ago. He paid $1800.00 Canadian for it. It is a 1983 YZ80 engine stuffed into a 1987 YSR50 frame. This was an ex-champion race-bike for the CAN-AM Challenge in Vancover. just so you know, the pics here are BEFORE the restoration, so the bike looks VERY different right now!. Anyway, It has aluminum rims(that niether of us has ever seen before on any other YSR). The engine has been modified to the point where it puts out roughly 20 H.P.
and can do about 160 k.p.h./100 MPH (pretty cool huh?). The engine has been ported, stroked, bored out to 93CC's. Over 2 grand was sunk into the engine alone, getting everything redone to make it faster, like re-doing the squish-band and head re-shaping etc. It has fiberglass reeds, with advanced ignition just to get even more power! After a while, Josh lost interest in it, after spending a ton of cash and time. So It just sat there looking (REALLY) pretty in his garage, so I brought it off of him for $2000.00 Canadian. The bike is now street legal (it uses a regular full-sized bike battery off of my NINJA, for power. Unflortunately, there is no one that makes lighting coils for my engine. So I have to run EVERYTHING off my battery, and recharge it at least once a day.) The bike is now on the street: It is so amazing, it turns heads absolutely everywhere! My only problem is, I'm paranoid that it's going to get stolen, considering how awesome it looks, and how small it is. I'll have some pics for it up soon.
What goodies the bike has:
1983 YZ80 engine
ported, polished, stroked, bored out to 93cc's, T9 Aluminum Wiseco race piston
Have you seen these before? probably not: considering there was less then 100 pairs ever made in 1987. That was the only year these rims were made, and then production was halted. THEY ARE FOR SALE, but for quite a pretty penny!
IRC MBR Douze XX rubber, front and back
Carbon fibre reeds
YZ125 radiator, with clear rad hoses
Here is (finally!) the new pics of the bike! The muffler looks like pure crap I know, but it's only temporary untill I get the custom designed one from Team Calamari. The bike is only missing plastic, asides from that, its ready to roll. Even with the old, out to spec pipe, it 'wheelied' in Every gear and kept the front tire up until 120 KPH. It did 120 (I checked the speedo) with much ease, but I need to gear it up to be able to do 120 comfortably for these long cruises.
