I'm selling the 50, buy buy buy.

**F5 Dave** · 30th May 2016, 22:21

Well its time for the 50 to find a new home and do what it was made to do. Win races.
I'm not going to be riding it anytime soon and I want the money for some suspension parts.

RS125 chassis
Derbi GPR50 engine (that's the road model but maybe the GPR boys should buy it just for the name).
14.6hp on Dynojet, so add a few extra for some other dynos. There's def more left to come.
Ignitech programmable ignition
PWK carb

$2000 buys it which is pretty fair as it will beat all the 150s in wgtn B grade, heck typically getting 4ths in A grade with some fat old git riding it.

Race pedigree; well racebikes are an evolution, but with a few riders has won about seven national grand Prix's inc the open 50. Has come second another 1/2 doz times including 2016. Top 50 in BoB a few times.
And a multitude of club races. Well you get the idea.

I'd prefer it to go to someone who will actually ride it as its meant to be ridden. It is reliable, feed it av gas and motul and a new ring every year.
Its no show pony, its function before form and could do with a real good clean and repaint that I never got around to, but do have some clean bright yellow spray enamel if that floats your boat.

$200 more buys the wheels with barely used wets

**F5 Dave** · 30th May 2016, 22:26

And sorry I won't sell the wets separately for anywhere near that price, or thrown in for the 50 price, I'll keep them for the 100, but that's not on sale, it has maybe something else left to achieve on the dyno.

That had to happen.
Good on you Chris.

Dave, sad day buddy.
Long and interesting life. Been intriguing following this from a RG50, to a RS housed RG50 to the RS Derbi in resent times. Lovely bike to ride.

**F5 Dave** · 30th May 2016, 22:35

Um that's less that 5 mins while I was editing the post! Can I put the price up?

Nah actually I'd be very happy to sell it to a rapid light chap as yourself.

Hahaha I was actually going to buy a dirt bike but holy shit I've wanted a 50 for ages! Can't say no. Rick and I can have some great battles in F5 up here.

**F5 Dave** · 30th May 2016, 22:47

Be a shame for it to leave wgtn where i could watch it race, but maybe Auckland with its 50 class is a better place for it

$2000 is a steal for a well sorted race bike.
Does it come with a warranty?

Chris (awesome news)
plus the odd foul stroke pokes it's ugly nose on track occasionally.

think I've missed one as well

**TALLIS** · 31st May 2016, 06:09

Dave, sad to here. But I suppose it was made to be raced and not gathering dust. As you say would of been nice if somebody picked it up down this way (hope you offered it to sketchy) as there is also a wee bit of a revival down here. Good move Chris! Dose this now mean f5 Dave is dead? Maybe dirt bike Dave?

**Drew** · 31st May 2016, 07:06

I'd have thought Katie would have snapped that up.

Good price for it.

**F5 Dave** · 31st May 2016, 07:26

Was offered to those two first and they both wanted it but wrong time for funding it. I decided just to keep the price reasonable and see it go to a decent home rather than put it on tardme and have it go to some whallah.

Yeah did consider the name, but press F5 key and it screen refreshes. I'm refreshing my motorcycling to some extent. In the last week I've sold my racebike, my roadbike and bought another roadbike.
