Motorcycle collectors are starting to take an interest in the Yamaha YSR 50, Honda and Suzuki ‘gag’ bikes which imitated the lines of their popular large capacity machines.

If you are bit too large to ride these tiny bikes they’ll make a great fun bike for your kids to learn, and will be more collectable than the regular minimoto bikes which have flooded the second hand market.
