MOTORHISPANIA RX 50 Racing (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2003, the Spanish motorcycle manufacturer launched the Motohispania RX 50 Racing, a sports motorcycle powered by a 50cc liquid-cooled engine. The bike suited younger riders as well as more seasoned ones looking for some fun.

Aesthetically, the motorcycle was complemented by features like a full fairing, a dual headlight system, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a single exhaust pipe with a small muffler on the right-hand side, and three-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

Motorhispana is a motorcycle manufacturing company founded in 1948 and based in Barcelona, Spain. During its first years of existence, Oscar Rava, the company's founder, started selling Lancia cars. Still, because Spain was encountering financial problems, few people were interested in these vehicles.

After a few years, he decided to start producing bicycles, but he soon discovered that mopeds could be a more profitable business.

Rava bought the 65cc Guzzi moped license and soon selected ISA, an aeronautical firm from Seville, as the company's main supplier. Motorhispania's most successful models were the Guzzi Lario 110cc, the Guzzi 49cc, and the Dingo 75cc.

During the 1970s, Motorhispania started producing its own models. The first one was the Dingo 49cc, first manufactured in 1973. This was followed by Feria (1977) and Poney (1978).

The 2003 Motorhispania RX 50 Racing was powered by a 50cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine paired with a six-speed transmission that redirected the power to the rear end via a final chain drive.
