Regulars Rides: Danial's Yamaha V50 Custom Scooter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Bike Shed Members Committee deputy Chairman Danial dropped by recently on his first shed build, a custom 1969 Yamaha V50.
Danial was tired of burning his leg on his "overpowered for around London" RSV1000 along with a yearning to try his hand at building a custom bike. So decided to start small and kill two birds at once by creating what he calls a "Zone One-er", a custom small engined bike perfect for zipping around London's congestion whilst having a bit of a laugh at the same time.
Danial talked his boss into letting him use a corner of a room at work, and then begun ridding the rust on this 1969 barn-find, fitting a bigger 125cc motor and some budget ingenuity you'll only find on a shed built bike.
Watch the video to see what went into it and stick around til the end to hear the "small bore roar"!
Nice to see some small modest bikes on here ,, great stuff Shane uk 🇬🇧
this looks fantastic! well done.
What a cool build - first bike, and several more through the years, was Honda Cub 50 - would love to have this type of fun bike. Very cool.
That's mint that. Great to see little bikes being given some love. Beautiful job and fun to ride I bet. 👍
You made a lovely job of restoring that.It looks great and I bet it was a great learning experience too.
The v50 was super popular where I'm from. Also the v80 as well as the hi&lo. So cool to see this!
Very nice and clean build mate... Ive got a 1976 honda c90 frame and i was going to build something similar but stopped when the price of new parts was going to out weigh the selling price, but seeing what youve done so nicely i might have another go and try and do it on a smaller budget... cheers for the inspiration!
Do it!
Well Daniel tell ya what ,it may be little but it sure looks good,and sounds even better
This is one of the coolest they reviewed so out of the ordinary and clean looking, great job mate!
love it. people talk so much crap about lil scooters
isn’t that a moped bike?

its not a scooter. Its an underbone
Already love it when I saw the thumbnail. Very nice build!
I live in Crunchie Heaven. Millions of the things here. You would NOT BELIEVE the parts and prices here. Funnily enough, out on the missus's Crunchie today. Brilliant simple fun. Regards, Meriden Triumph & Guzzi owner, NE Thailand.
I love the modded Cub (and V50) scene. An ideal inner city ride ;)
Cracking build I'd love something like that to use around town.
Of all the regular rides this one’s my favorite
Looks great! Brings back memories. Yes, I’m old.
Absolutely stunning. I’ll have to take a look with the boys and see if we can find and refurbish a similar build. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds sweet, I did thousands of miles on a C70 Honda, My little Donkey. I used to dream of 125cc power.
(Though I did fit a 4-speed gearbox from an SS50, that livened it up a bit)
I hate small bike ...... but this is pure beauty!!!!! Well done my friend. !!!
Looks really neat that brilliant, love it , built for purpose. Well done.
I love it, i had a similar seat and People still telling me if i seat on a baguette, i love this works on scooters i wish i could build a c90 here on México
Nice Yamaha Danial and thanks for sharing your scooter !
This bike looks sick
Love it, spirit of true bike building
Honestly love this little thing
I’ve just bought a 1979 Yamaha V50 in New Zealand for £350. It’s pitted but not really bad so I can change the colour... this looks awesome so I might make mine similar. :)
Very inspiring, I got one enjoy these little bikes , there's beginning a little nichè collector market for em out there. Getting popular. Which is cool
One of the best bikes on the internet
See, this is *exactly* the sort of small bike Yamaha should be building these days ! Small, light, simple, cheap to run. But enough poke to commute and generally tool around locally. But instead they're going to get creamed by Honda's new CT125 Hunter...
It must be great fun to ride
Cool little bike, I love how he needs to explain himself that he has a real motorcycle :)
Yep, looks brilliant! beauty design.
Saw this pop up on my subscribers list and was about to scroll past. I'm glad I didn't as that lil thing is epic! Don't worry that it hasn't got a loud rumble.....those guys are compensating for something 😂
Great job and very unique.
Love it! You'd definitely get a head nod from me :-D
Great build
Hi Danial, I'm from St. Louis, Missouri (US) and am in Illinois now. I have a very original '65 U5 Newport, and it would be great to talk to you about the stuff you did. Really good restoration. You'll be surprised by the originality I've been able to maintain. Stan
It's all original. Apart from the engine and the electrical system and the exhaust and the indicators and the switches and the handlebars.
Sounds good looks good nice bike !!
yeaaaah! my kind of little bike! ;) bravo bravissimo!!!
I would love to own this bike. It would be perfect for Thai cities. It's so light, I bet it shifts.
Yes it does
@@stuartallen3075 its an 80 cc 5speed transmission
I'm sorry 50cc there's also a 80cc out there
@@sovietmilk2674 no it doesn't. That's a 125
@@liammeloury-caligiuri6272 ooh thanks i didn't know there are 125's out there
Were im from im used to 50 and 80cc motors
My aunt had one of those. Stock of course. She used to let me use it to ride around town.
You did well with that mate, think you need the same basic skills for customising your bike as you would fora bigger project. Everything in miniature is very cool. Love the wheelie. Fit and finish is pretty good considering what you had to work with and facilities. 👍🏻🏍😎
That seat looks like you've bolted a loaf of bread to your frame
now this is a scooter i would ride
You can find a ton of this bikes in Greece restored in mint condition and if you want many people even tune them🇬🇷😂😁

Nice job
For everyone who has a rust problem BEST solution you will ever get.
works best on cleaning the exhaust.
Ingredients: mix dish soap with water [normal ratio]
take a aluminum piece of folie, dip it in the soap water, then use it like a sponge and the rust will rub off like dirt
your welcome :]
Finally a cool bike that isn't pretentious and the usual "flat-saddle-chopped-subframe" hipster piece of crap. But substance over style is what I'd expect from an Aprilia rider :)
Nice moped. looks interesting
Love this bike.
This is kinda badass.
This is aaaaaahh cool build
How cool is that!!! OMG 😃
Very nice! I got a super cub clone from china work great only thing have trouble with it finding parts!
Like a little cub, but with different factory.
I have a yamaha v50 would like to restore it with its original engine. Look nice bro.
Actually sounds quite good
That is one cool bike..
looks like a 80s 90s c50,.. cool bike..
I like what you have done here, especially the neat finish on the headlight/ speedo combo (not sure if Yamaha did this or you). I have a 2001 Honda C90 and might consider doing a rebuild similar to this. One of the tricky bits might be finding a new seat. Where did you get yours? Presumably it was made by a custom shop?
That thing is rad
DAMN DANIAL !!
Excellent
LOVE IT !!!!!
Good bike
It looks cool though the cut out section of the frame to make room for the motor look a little ruff. And wouldn't it weaken the overall strength??
mate work mate!
You can buy all of yamaha v50/v75 OEM sparepart from Indonesia, this motorcycle is so many in here (Indonesia)
I have a 1981 GL 500 that I would love to have customized, unfortunately, I am not a mechanical person. There are few shops in my area that would do anything like that without charging more than a new bike would cost.
The exhaust looks very similar to a PMTuning exhaust I have on my scomadi
I love it
Damn Danial !
Is it possible to ride this bike in the rain with that open air cleaner ? Thanks. greetings from SL.
Wow nice build ! Currently working on one thinking of conversion to 12V and 125cc, did you tag on to the original 6v loom of fit a new one ? Thanks
a head turner none the less
Damn, thats a rare bike tho
Hello man can you tell me is this a 2 stroke cause the exhaust looks like a 4 stroke.
Its a four
Where did the switch did the left hand switch gear come from ?
Lol an angle grinder to clean the rust of the rims would of loved to seen how difficult that would be of been 🤣
I love it !
That is so cool
way cool!
Damn Daniel!
If I come down where do I park my bike?
Love it!
Who would delete the db-killer? ;)
Very cool looking bike!!
А резинки на выхлопной трубе не дымятся?????
How does he manage to ride this during rainy days without a front mud guard
Hi I am in a similar situation, I have a 1976 v90 that's had a reboar to 100cc its an absolute rotbox and the front wheel won't, move did you have a problem with the brakes on yours ceasing up I wanted to know if it was a common problem
classic wicked cool!
The seat looks like a cartoon loaf of bread.
The seat looks like a piece of bread.
The v50 is a 2 stroke but he has fitted a 4 stroke 125 on to it.i own a yamaha t50 wich is 4 stroke from stoke
Looks more Honda than Yamaha. Still, a cute build!
I have a bicycle spoke for my brake light too!!!
NICE!
Wasn't that originally a two-stroke?
that is sweet
I have an original one of these do you have any of the original parts that aren't used?
