Can you imagine a 50cc racing bike with no shiny decals and sponsor logos on it? If you're having trouble picturing such a weird contraption, we introduce to you the Kreidler RMC, customized and ridden to many victories by Dutch Edwin Sweers.
Sweers admits the old Kreidler chassis has nothing in common with modern-day small-displacement bikes as it lacks the needed stiffness... and with all the tuning the 2-stroke Derbi engine got, things are even more amiss.

The bike is now retired, but it still delivers 19 hp, which for a 50cc machine is ridiculously high power. The 5-piece exhaust and tweakable ignition means almost an endless chase for the best performance, but Sweers has already proven the old Kreidler can win.

With a 6-speed gearbox, Honda RS125 fork and an Öhlins rear shock, Sweers' Kreidler RMC went where no other similar bike dared. And all with no sponsor logos and no decals.
