At the heart of the 2016 Yamaha TZR50 sport motorcycle, Yamaha utilizes a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.7 HP (2 kW) at 6,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3 Nm (2.2 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and 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 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) wet (curb). 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 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
