If you've never ridden a 50cc racing motorcycle, you should try it sometimes. And if you want to see what 50cc racing is all about, one of the best machines to try is the 2013 Rieju RS3 50 Pro.
If plain old simple fun is part of your life, you could enjoy the Rieju RS3 50 Pro for a ride on the twisties and still smile when coming back home. Now, let's get things straight: this bike is no replacement for the R1. But if you're not of age to get a Class A license, the Rieju RS3 50 Pro is an awesome beast.

For starters, it's moved around by a 2-stroke Minarelli NG engine, and the 2T means more power than you'd expect from such a diminutive bike. It has a separate mixture system with a 1.1 L (0.3 gal) oil tank and this spells convenience, and adding in the huge 12 L (3.16 gal) fuel capacity means you'll cover hundreds of miles on a single fill.

The 6-speed gearbox is exactly what a new rider needs to get acquainted to riding a motorcycle and digital instrument cluster offers essential ride data comparable to any other big bike. Stopping force comes from no-nonsense disc brakes, 280mm for the front and 220mm for the rear while the sporty ergonomic and racing bodywork will make heads turn.

Finally, you get an aluminium silencer and a total dry weight of 115.5 kg (255 lbs) making handling a breeze. And yes, it sports an adjustable rear shock and inverted forks, with 17" alloy rims.
