YAMAHA DT50LC ??? HECK YEAH!!!

When I was a freshman in high school, before anyone in my circle of friends had a driver's license, one kid in our group had one of these. Needless to say, he was the coolest kid that ever existed on planet Earth at the time.

Here in the Netherlands is still a lot of these old mopeds alive!

Love to see such a little 50cc in the big USA.

Nice Bike. I've never seen one of these before. The bike that got me into dirtbikes, first I saw and first I rode....1978 Yamaha DT 125 2 stroke, when I was 5 years old. Dad's was a Spearmint Green Metal Tank! Gorgeous. My Uncle had the 78 DT 125 too. His was a Yellow Metal Tank, with white and black. Amazing childhood memories.

I wish Yamaha would go back and look at these cool small ideas they had, and do them again, esp 2 stroke with new tech! So many very cool bikes that so many would just love to have now!

here in the Netherlands during the 80's and 90's most 16yr olds were riding Honda MT50 MTX50 MB50 NSR50, Yamaha DT50 or or a Suzuki TS50. great times, i can still remember how it smelled working on them.

Wow! my sister got a brandnew DT 50 in 1980 at age 16 from the local YAMAHA dealer here in Germany. Best wishes ! I was driving the DT 175

Stunning I had the air cooled version back in 86 loved it being 17 it could just about pull the skin off a rice pudding 😄. Great getting up in the morning living in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and tuning into you guys 👍

Had a black 80cc dtlc at age 17 in France.
Not fast but a real bike.
Then got a 60p xlrm.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!

I've never seen a DT50! I live in Australia and the smallest I have seen is a DT100.
Mostly DT175 and DT250's down here back in the day.

I remember those being very common in Honduras growing up

[bobg]

Can't be many of these still around, I think your right about it being a museum piece.

Boas a todos, aqui em portugal esta motorizada foi um grande sucesso de vendas e ainda temos muitas a circular eu na altura do lançamento deste modelo era mecânico de motas e arranjei e alterei centenas de motinhas destas e as minhas preparações ficavam sempre em 1 lugar nas corridas ilegais noturnas no distrito de setubal, grande nostalgia ver uma em tão bom estado fisico mas está com a cor do deposito de gasolina errada pois deveria ser azul com letras amarelas essa é a combinação certa para este modelo, eu proprio fui dono de pelo menos 3 iguais desta cor e por isso sei qual a cor certa do deposito e ao todo fui dono de pelo menos 130 unidades de todas as cores do catalgo possiveis, continuem o bom trabalho quem me dera ir trabalhar ai com esta equipe!!!!💪💪💪

We used to have and still have a LOT of these dt50`s here in Finland. Cheers. :)

My cousin had one these when we we're kids and I loved it! I was taller and had a Suzuki DS80, he rode mine and I rode this when we rode together.. Good ol' days for sure

[annlefrancois]

I have a dt 50 with 1600 miles on it and it is just as mint as this one. Great little bike.

Brings back memories. I bought one brand new when I was 12 gave it hell

[alanssnack]

my bro had the red/white DT80 aircooled, same as that really, it was so comfy having a nice low seat height. that bike is phenomenal. better than all the rest imo

[warrenhoare]

That takes me back. My first road bike was a brand spanking new 82 black DT air cooled 50. Put full fresco and 60cc kit on it. Wish I still had it😍😍😍

[rearwheelaf]

In portugal this model is one of the most popular bikes we have and mechanics here explore th big bore kits to the extent of making 30 plus hp and going 99mph

[jessarellanes]

I once had a iT 125 back in the day
Mines was air cooled 1978
