When I was 16 I got a broken down AR50 from a friend. It was sitting in his backyard. He had intended to fix it up and never got around to it. He had been accumulating parts for sometime, and gave me all the parts he had collected. I put the bike back together and got it running, quickly to melt the piston. Frustrated, I gave the bike to another friend and never really looked back.

So here I am 2o years later and a friend of mine ran across this AR80. He picked it up for me, I put some TLC and love into it, and wham! Instant motorcycle from my past. I have had it for 4 years or so, I keep working on it, adding NOS parts, painting, etc. Tis pretty. Take a peek. Really fun little 2 stroke that was competition for the Honda MB5. My buddy Jeff has a MB5 and we have spent house racing around his parking lot with these little bikes. So much fun!
