Yamaha DT50 Test Ride & Top Speed Run (1988 model)

Come along for a test ride of my new (to me) Yamaha DT50! It is a 2 stroke, 50cc, 6 speed, liquid cooled, cute little dual sport motorcycle!

Had one of these in the same colours for my first bike back in 1987 - it's a pleasure to see and hear one again after so long

My first bike back in 1997 was a DT50(actually owned two for about 2 decades) and boy it taught me so much about bikes. One thing I hated is the 2-stroke build-up in the exhaust as this really hamper the performance of this little 50 as time passes by. And watch the heat when venturing off road as this will shorten the life of the 50cc power plant. One if not the best ever 50cc.

I had one of these as my second bike after my Yamaha FS1E was stolen! It was in 1988, it was a grey import into the UK from Japan and was absolutely bloody brilliant, I loved it. I rode it vast distances as well, for a 16 year-old on a 50! SO nice to see one of these up and running and in such amazing condition.

This was my very first bike I bought with my own money I made working when I was 11yrs old, I absolutely loved that thing and rode it absolutely everywhere, streets(legally of course 😅), trails, dirt, miles and miles each time I took it it wasn't fast, but it sounded cool with that little 2-stroke and it was quick enough to keep up with traffic 😂

Had this in a 125 loved it so reliable and fun to ride

here in portugal a lot of people install a 100cc big bore kit as well as 16 inches wheels, and make those things not only look amazing, but also make them go as fast as 160km/h, that's about 100 mph

Great to see someone give it full send like I used to mine all the time....I had the exact same colour and remember selling it eventually 35 000 ks later for more than we paid.

I think that looks pretty snappy for a tiny 50cc. Looks like perfect power for running around town. 👌

[dannysport]

I've got one too same colour combinations just the EU edition since 1996 and will be forever the one ❤️.
You have an stonishing bike please do believe me.

My first geared bike! Went to see how much they go for again recently and there now a classic and demand high prices.

In case your wondering because of the right footpeg snapping off on the previous owner I had to replace the gauges with ones from an earlier air cooled dt

[Nicedicekid]

I just completed a total rebuild in my living room. Haha watched this so I know what it should sound like before I kick it over for the first time !

[pikkumisee]

i can tell you that this video is about to blow up soon

[winneyjr]

I’m from England and have no Idea where this is filmed, but I have to say that wherever you live it is beautifal

[danielcline]

I own the same bike starts every time love it don't off road a lot or jump it right foot peg needs a gusset. mine will do 65mph at 5500 ft in altitude don't mess with the compression instead concentrate on your jetting to get more power
