Overview

Introducing the 2008 Factory Bike Desert YR50 – a striking contender in the enduro-offroad motorcycle category that combines agility, performance, and a touch of rugged charm. This model from the Spanish brand Factory Bike is designed for those who crave adventure, whether it’s an exhilarating weekend trail ride or tackling challenging terrains. With the Desert YR50, you’ll experience the thrill of off-road riding paired with the reliability and craftsmanship that Factory Bike is known for. At the heart of the Desert YR50 lies a spirited 49.70 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers a punchy performance, ideal for both beginners and seasoned riders. With a compression ratio of 12.0:1 and a six-speed gearbox, this machine is engineered for quick acceleration and responsive handling. The liquid-cooled engine, paired with a Dell’Orto PHBN carburettor, ensures optimal performance across various conditions while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 81.5 kg (179.7 pounds). Riders will appreciate the balance and control offered by the PAIOLI suspension system, which absorbs bumps and ensures stability over rough terrain, making it an excellent choice for off-road enthusiasts. The Desert YR50 is packed with features that enhance its off-road capabilities and rider comfort. The front suspension boasts a sturdy PAIOLI fork with a diameter of 36 mm, while the rear suspension is complemented by an equally robust shock-absorber, allowing for smooth navigation over obstacles. With a fuel capacity of 7.50 liters, riders can venture further without frequent stops, making it a reliable companion for long rides. The motorcycle’s braking system utilizes a single disc at both the front (240 mm) and rear (220 mm), ensuring responsive stopping power when navigating tricky trails. The sleek design, along with a compact frame measuring 2,070 mm in length and 810 mm in width, enhances maneuverability, allowing riders to tackle tight corners and technical sections with ease. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing only 81.5 kg, the Desert YR50 offers excellent handling and maneuverability, perfect for off-road adventures.
  • Responsive Engine: The two-stroke engine delivers quick acceleration and a thrilling riding experience, ideal for tackling diverse terrains.
  • Quality Suspension: The PAIOLI suspension system provides an excellent balance of comfort and control, enhancing the overall ride quality over rough trails.

Cons

  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With a 7.50-liter tank, riders may need to plan refueling stops carefully on longer excursions.
  • Two-Stroke Maintenance: The two-stroke engine may require more frequent maintenance compared to four-stroke counterparts, including oil mixing and premix fuel considerations.
  • Basic Features: While it excels in performance, the Desert YR50 lacks advanced features found in more modern enduro bikes, which may deter some riders looking for high-tech extras.
