Yamaha DT50MX 91 50cc

I first bought this bike off a bunch of pikeys, what a mistake. They had put plastaseal in the carburettor, the rear tyre was too big so i couldn't get it close enought to frame in order to put a new sprocket and chain set on. Never the less i hung in there and after two bore kit changes new carburettor reeds new sprocket and chain set new tyre and fuel tap the bike is finally out of the pikey era and into the its running nicely era. The bike is fantastic i love my little DT50mx whenever i change gear its a brilliant feeling. I know i could've gone for a moped but i went for a bike that took some hard work to keep going, i now know gears for my bigger bike.

I bought my Yamaha dt50mx for 60 quid as a field bike but when I was younger I had it put on road. I have 45mph out of it but I wouldn't mind it going a bit faster.

This Yamaha DT50MX was and is my first bike/moped. Good for getting used to gears. Easy to chuck round corners. I had this bike for roughly a year now and done 8000 miles. I haven't had any major problems but the stupidly thin tyres aren't so good. None the less....I luv it.
