About the bike: Big things can come from small packages. Everyone knows how fun the Yamaha® YSR-50s were to ride. They handled just like their big brothers and, with a little work, were serious racing fun. Such is the case with the Smokin' Joe's 1989 YSR-50/ CR-80 little rocket. A freshly rebuilt Honda® CR-80 liquid-cooled, 2-Stroke engine was custom graphed to the YSR-50 chassis. The swingarm was extended two inches to handle the increased power and, since the power plant was from a Honda®, a cool Honda® race team paint scheme was needed to finish the project. 1 9 8 9 Y S R - 5 0 / C R - 8 0
