didn't know if any of you mini GP racers would be interested in this. Not me, I don't know the seller.

I doubt there is a huge market for an RS50. That's why I took time to share it.

It's not like its a GSXR.

I had my Factory Edition RSVR on the market for at least six months before working a trade with AF1 for the SXV. Gotta find the right person for the right bike.

I raced on a RS50 against that bike back in 2004 in TMGP... it's got great speed! And a RS50 is a great choice for taller people looking to get into mini racing.

I think his price was scaring people off. Is it just a 50 but it is well set up. The forks are non adjustable so after the races they would tear em down and experiment with shims, spacers, fluid weight, and height. They got it on the money and have it running quick (for a 50) too. But he has all the spares an endurance team would need. So it is a great package to buy and be very competitive.

For reference, myself, J-Lo, and Macman all raced an RS50 in CMRA endurance year before last... none of us are "little" by any stretch (hence the name "3X Racing"). Here's a pic:

Bike crashes great! (ask Macman how well another bike works as a ramp...)

Easy to work on, and AF1 has parts/ service galore for this bike.

17" wheels, great brakes, easy on tires (one set of slicks for 2 seasons) and GP style chassis make this bike a dream to race!
