History
The first production model came out in Japan of 1986, and had the looks of a re-shaped and scaled down version of the YZR 500. It had a front disk brake and a rear drum brake.
The motorcycle also had a 5 speed transmission, the US had a very hard time considering the Motorcycle as a Moped because of the 5 speed transmission.
