The Yamaha RX50 is a motorcycle produced by Yamaha from 1983 to 1984.

Yamaha released these bikes in 1982 as a kickoff promotional for their larger-displacement Midnight Special bike line, in red and black.

Each dealer received two[1] RX-50 2-stroke cruiser to raffle off to customers as a sales incentive to bring people in to see the larger bikes. Only 2000 were produced total. All were sold in the United states.

  • 50cc 2-stroke air cooled engine shared with their Yamaha YSR racebike.
  • 5 speed manual transmission
