Positioned in Yamaha's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Yamaha TZR50 Race Replica utilizes a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.4 HP (1.8 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 2.9 Nm (2.1 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the TZR50 Race Replica measures 114 kg (251 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,341 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.8-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
