Arrow Exhaust Yamaha TZR50 01-03

Advantages: Looks good, sounds good, cheap to buy.
Disadvantages: Makes a 50cc bike illegal at 16 just like any other exhaust.

...I have an Aprilia RX50 racing, 2006. I have an arrow exhaust on it. it was already on there when i baught it, but the standard exhaust restricted it to 25 mph, but the full arrow exhaust kit makes it go to 55 to 60 mph. It looks alot better than the standard exhaust. They are easy to get hold of if you want one. For a full arrow exhaust system usually costs around £185. Arrow make many exhausts for many different bikes. When mine had the standard exhaust on it sound like a broken hair dryer like a standard moped, but now it sounds like a 125 cc motocross bike. I learnt how to ride it in 15 minutes, that was the first time i have ever ridden a geared motorbike. Even my dad loves it and he has a Yamaha R1 which is 20 x more powerful. All those people thinking of getting one, get an arrow. Hope this helps.... Read review

Advantages: lots of fun to ride, great handling, funky looks
Disadvantages: slow, requires lots of modifications to get the best performance (but it's worth it!)

...sprocket makes for great acceleration to 50mph, but as you crawl up to 70mph the rpm's are nearing the 10,000 redline. Not good if you value your engine. In order to really release the potential of this little bike you need to replace the whole exhaust with an aftermarket variety: an Arrow system is the best. This is far lighter than the original Yamaha and looks and sounds great. There are no silly restrictors and best of all no catalytic converter! This system really makes use of the TDR's derestricted power and at 7,000 rpm the 2 stroke powerband kicks in and off you go. The next thing that needs to be sorted is the gearing. The most popular modification is to swap the 16 tooth gearbox sprocket for a 17 tooth version. This will lower the rpms by about 500rpm for each gear. So 60mph will be 7,500 rpm, 70mph will be 8,500 rpm, 80mph... Read review

Advantages: High top speed and aceleration
Disadvantages: Expensive to repair

...The motorhispania RX50 is a very fast and reliable motorbike. It is a manual 6 gear bike, which allows quick aceleration and high top end speed for a 50cc engine and is legal to ride at 16. Other bikes that are in the same league as the Motorhispania RX50 include, Aprilia RS50, Rieju RS2 Matrix, Yamaha TZR50, Derbi GPR50, and the Cagvia Mito 50. What makes the Motorhispania apeal to me more and rise above the others, is that it is the biggest bike out of the lot, 9/10ths real size where as the others are only 8/10s. Also it is uncommon, unlike the Aprilia RS50 and so is classier to have while also not being hard to find and purchase like the Yamaha TZR50, and the Cagvia Mito 50 therefore having a smaller price tag. The Derbi GPR50 is the slowest out of the lot, although can be fast when tuned up. The Rieju RS2 Matrix... Read review
