Introducing the 2009 Derbi GPR 50 Racing, a compact powerhouse that encapsulates the spirit of sportbike riding in a lightweight package. Designed primarily for younger riders and those looking to experience the thrill of racing, this motorcycle holds its own in the competitive landscape of entry-level sport bikes. With its sleek, aggressive styling and an unmistakable racing pedigree, the GPR 50 Racing offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of performance riding, all while being accessible for those just starting their motorcycling journey. At the heart of the GPR 50 Racing lies a spirited 49cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, delivering exhilarating performance that belies its small stature. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1 and a 6-speed gearbox, the bike offers responsive acceleration and a thrilling ride, perfect for navigating city streets or carving up twisty backroads.

Paired with a monoshock rear suspension, the bike offers a balanced ride, with 110 mm of travel at both ends to absorb bumps effortlessly. The robust braking system, featuring a 300 mm front disc and a 180 mm rear disc, ensures that the GPR can stop on a dime, giving riders peace of mind while pushing their limits. With an electric starter and a variety of bold color combinations—red, black, white, and yellow—the GPR 50 Racing not only stands out visually but also offers practicality for everyday use. **
