I've seen the RS50 at a couple OH dealers. Even better, check page 33 of the April Motorcyclist. Race-ready Derbi GPR50's w/75cc kit shipped to your door for $2600!

The ones at the bike show were around 4??? $ CDN
Thats the 50 cc and not race ready.
Small bike companies usually do not give Canada a break on prices. The cost to get them here is high. They will also not sell a large amout of these, so they have to make up for it somewhere.

Actually, the stock 50's retail for over $3000 USD, so the 75cc kitted version is quite a deal. The dealer doing this is promoting a spec racing series. Since the price includes delivery in 48 states, I'm sure it wouldn't be much more to ship to Canada.

That is a good deal, but worthless for a fat ass like me. Im sure the 10 hp Derbi would propel someone under 100 lbs quite nicely, 55 mph might even be achievable !!
Hey, if an RC51 can propel John's ass...
My 1983 KX80 did an honest 65 mph with stock MX gearing, I think the 75 Derbi does over 60. No way should it be an only bike, but for tight tracks and roads like Deal's Gap it'd be awesome.
There are a few riders in Netherlands/Europe that have obtained 150km/h on the RS50 with the 75cc kit. Thats 93 mph folks! Just fast enough to smoke alot of bikes when the money goes where the mouth is in the twisties.
Ha!
(should i consider one?)
....lugging MY portley 180 pound 5'10" body around wouldnt be quite the snap that it would be for a squirrelly dutch kid though...
Would a 50cc bike like the Aprilia or the Derbi be a good learning tool? I'm only asking because it might be easier to convince my parents to let me get one.
"Dad, I'm tellin' ya, it only looks like a motorcycle... it's really just a slow scooter."
Once you go above 49cc you have to put a plate on the rear. So 6 speeds and 50cc = register the moto and therefore an experienced +17 year old with moto permit rides qualified for that cc catagory.
Cool.
I'm from France.
