| Tohatsu Runpet CR50 Tohatsu is a Japanese manufacturer, which started out making two stroke outboard motors in the 1950’s. In the early 1960’s they manufactured a number of small displacement motorcycles. The Runpet CR50 was a racing version of their street bike. This model is based on the Gunze Sangyo high tech kit. Based on photos I found online, there were a number of corrections needed to make the model more accurate, particularly the footpeg mounting system.
