will do!
only ever seen one - that was at Newark autojumble many years ago and it was already sold.
A guy in Huddersfield has / had one but I can't get any details.
A few on auction in Japan if your willing to take a (big) risk! |

Tony at Stinkwheels had a white TDR50 for sale at Donington last year. My missus thought about it for a bit then when she went back to buy it some bloke was wheeling it away. The new owner didn't even really want it and offered it to her for a quick profit, but he was a knob so we walked away. I think Tony still has a TDR80 (not for sale).
Where did you find your YSR Gagster ? I must be looking in the wrong places... |

it appeared (briefly!) on ebay - used BIN and got it for less than my mate paid for his tatty Gauloises YSR.
they are better than the Suzuki as they run on 12" rims - the GSXR runs 10" - and the YSR is physically bigger (but not by much!)
the only non-original items I can find are a couple of extra stickers, the tank pad and the tyres, which were changed as the originals cracked on the sidewalls due to old age! |

Gagster,
You lucky, lucky blighter! Lucky I didn't see it first . . . but then I expect a lot of us are thinking that! Bike looks great - I'm looking for a similar condition / mileage NSR80 for my living room, so let me know if you fall over one (please). _________________ Bikes: www.diffrentstrokers.com

Hi Gagster,
Can you help me out and give me some dimensions of the YSR?
I've contacted a shipping agent about importing a bike or two from Japan as the first step is to work out if it'll be cost effective, and for them to give me some idea of costs they need Width, Height, Length and Weight. As you're the only person I 'know' with one I'm afraid you've drawn the short straw!!
Any help (or dimensions) greatly appreciated!
I'll ask StrokerBoy to have a look at the brochures he has too _________________ Bikes: www.diffrentstrokers.com

tale of the tape............
---------- blue corner---------- red corner
---------- (GSXR50) ---------- (YSR80)
height ------ 87cms ---------- 95cms
width ------ 61cms ---------- 62cms
length ------ 154cms ---------- 153cms
weight ------ 63kgs ---------- ??kgs
I would guess the YSR is about the same as, or slightly lighter than, the Gixxer (2-stroke v 4-stroke)
When I was consideing shipping one from the USA, I quoted the weight of the Gixxer as 70kgs.
I do hope you are not using OK!Shon - people have paid for bikes but not received them
good luck!
