Overview
The Yamaha TZR 50 is a sportbike from the TZR family, produced from 2003 to 2016. The 2016 model has a 49.0 cm³ single-cylinder two-stroke engine producing 2.7 hp (2 kW) and 3.0 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, with a wet weight of 128.0 kg.

Pros and cons
Advantages
No fuel premixing
Separate lubrication supplies oil without requiring you to mix it into the fuel.
Liquid cooling

Things to consider
Limited power
With 3 hp, acceleration and ability to maintain speed on steep climbs are limited.
Little rear suspension travel
The 31 mm of rear wheel travel leaves limited movement to soften rough surfaces.
