The 2010 Rieju RS2 50 FR represents a significant entry in the highly competitive 50cc sportbike segment. As part of Rieju's RS2 lineage, known for bringing full-size sportbike aesthetics to the learner-legal class, the FR variant offered a slightly more aggressive posture. In its time, it vied for attention against popular models like the Aprilia RS 50 and the Derbi GPR 50, appealing to young riders seeking a genuine sportbike experience on L-plates. Its full fairing and sharp lines mimicked larger displacement machines, making it a desirable option for those wanting to look the part.
At the heart of the RS2 50 FR is its 50.00 ccm (3.05 cubic inches) engine, a liquid-cooled two-stroke unit designed for spirited urban riding and backroad fun. While the outright power figures are modest, typical for the class, the lightweight nature of the bike, tipping the scales at 109.5 kg (241.4 pounds), ensures a lively feel. Fuel capacity stands at a respectable 10.40 litres (2.75 gallons), providing ample range for daily commutes or weekend excursions without constant trips to the petrol station. This combination of a responsive small-displacement engine and low mass contributes to its agility.
Riding the Rieju RS2 50 FR reveals its sportbike intentions. The 800 mm (31.5 inches) seat height, even at its lowest setting if adjustable, positions the rider in a committed stance. While not as extreme as a dedicated track machine, the ergonomics lean towards a track-focused experience, with rearset pegs encouraging a more tucked-in riding position. The suspension, though basic, is tuned for handling, offering a firm and responsive feel through corners. Its low weight makes it exceptionally flickable, instilling confidence in newer riders while still offering an engaging ride for those with more experience.
The 2010 Rieju RS2 50 FR was squarely aimed at the aspiring sportbike enthusiast, particularly younger riders aged 16 and up who are restricted to 50cc machines. It served as an excellent stepping stone, offering the visual appeal and riding dynamics of a larger sportbike in a manageable, learner-legal package. Its robust construction and engaging characteristics made it a popular choice for those looking to experience the thrill of a sport Category motorcycle without the associated costs or licensing requirements of bigger bikes. For its target audience, the RS2 50 FR provided a compelling introduction to the world of two-wheeled performance.
