You got to copy and paste the link w/o the first two letters to see the bike.

The bike is really nice.  And expensive.  I wonder if it is really worth that $. 

I have always wanted to ride one.  I bet they are a blast!

The asking price is expensive but at least it's in really nice shape. Actually someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think these are silly collectable? I wanna know how even an average size adult male can even fit on one of these without feeling ridiculous?

Can get a real one for that price...?

You can damn sure get or build one hell of a bike for that.

So I feel kinda silly saying this being mostly a window shopper of Ebay and Craigslist I just started browsing the Facebook Marketplace and I think I finally found a reason to like Facebook. So anyways seeing a lot of RD ads and among other things  YSR50 ads somewhat local to me. The prices ranged from as low as 1400$ for a project that looked complete but in pieces to a high of 4999$ for a all original example with less than 2k miles but not quite as mint looking as the original posting in this thread.Yeah that one is priced kinda high but it looks about as good as it gets.

The YSR market is a strange one right now, with FB pages and groups there are a few guys that are buying them all up and are paying pretty good money.  These guys restore the best ones and part out the rest.  It is very rare anymore to find even a project for under $3K and more and more I am seeing them parted out.  a decent gas tank alone can sell for close to $1K.  I bought mine as a complete runner that was in decent shape 10 years ago for $1200 and at the time that was a fair price but nowadays as soon as these hit FB they are being scooped up.
