2005 · Super motard
The 2005 Malaguti Yesterday 50 marked a notable entry in the competitive 50cc supermotard segment, a category often dominated by riders seeking a blend of off-road styling and on-road agility. This particular model built upon Malaguti's history of producing agile small-displacement motorcycles and scooters, offering a distinct aesthetic and riding experience. In its class, the Yesterday 50 competed directly with other popular small-capacity supermotards of the era, such as the Aprilia SX 50 and the Derbi Senda SM 50, both vying for the attention of young riders and urban commuters alike.
Powering the Yesterday 50 was a compact yet capable 49.20 ccm (3.00 cubic inches) engine, a common displacement for motorcycles adhering to European licensing restrictions for younger riders. This engine was designed for tractable power delivery suitable for its supermotard application, providing enough oomph for city riding and light spirited jaunts. The motorcycle’s dry weight of 79.0 kg (174.2 pounds) contributed significantly to its nimble handling, allowing for quick direction changes and easy maneuverability. Fuel capacity stood at a practical 9.00 litres (2.38 gallons), offering a decent range for daily commutes before needing a refill.
As a supermotard, the Malaguti Yesterday 50 was characterized by its upright riding position and motocross-inspired ergonomics, providing excellent visibility and control. The wide handlebars and relatively flat seat allowed riders to shift their weight easily, a key attribute for navigating urban obstacles or enjoying twisty backroads. The suspension setup, while basic, was tuned to absorb road imperfections and provide a degree of comfort, making it a viable option for daily use. Its lightweight nature further enhanced its flickability, making it an engaging ride for those appreciating a direct connection with the road.
The Malaguti Yesterday 50 was primarily aimed at new riders, particularly teenagers obtaining their first motorcycle license, and urban dwellers seeking an economical and fun mode of transport. Its supermotard styling appealed to those looking for a sporty yet practical machine that could handle various road conditions with ease. Ultimately, the 2005 Malaguti Yesterday 50 delivered on its promise as a straightforward, engaging 50cc supermotard, offering an accessible entry point into motorcycling with a distinct character.
