Overview

Introducing the 2006 Factory Bike Desert YR 50, a nimble and spirited enduro-offroad motorcycle that’s designed for those who crave the thrill of adventure on two wheels. Positioned as an entry-level model, the Desert YR 50 is perfect for young riders and those new to the off-road scene. With its lightweight frame and compact dimensions, this bike offers a manageable ride that inspires confidence and encourages exploration, whether you're tackling challenging trails or cruising through sand dunes. At the heart of the Desert YR 50 lies a robust 49.70cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers impressive performance for its size. Boasting a compression ratio of 12.0:1 and a liquid cooling system, this engine ensures that you have the power and efficiency you need to conquer any terrain. The Dell’Orto PHBN carburettor provides precise fuel delivery, enabling the bike to respond eagerly to the throttle. With a wet multiplate clutch and chain final drive, the Desert YR 50 offers smooth acceleration and gear transitions, making every ride feel exhilarating and connected. Riders will appreciate its lightweight build of just 81.5 kg (179.7 pounds), which contributes to agile handling and a playful character, perfect for those dynamic enduro situations. The Desert YR 50 is packed with features that emphasize its capable off-road prowess. The hardened steel CrMo frame is engineered to withstand the rigors of adventure, while the bolt-on rear section allows for easy repairs and modifications. Suspension is handled by a PAIOLI hydraulic fork in the front and a PAIOLI monoshock at the rear, providing a comfortable ride over rough terrain. The braking system, featuring single discs with a 240mm diameter in the front and 220mm in the rear, ensures effective stopping power, giving you the confidence to navigate steep descents and sharp turns. With a fuel capacity of 7.50 liters (1.98 gallons), you’ll have ample range for those extended day trips into the wild. **
