Tomos BT50 is a road motorcycle that was produced by the Tomos company from 1986 to 1993. The motorcycle already reached a speed of 80 km/h in its serial version, which is why registration was required even then.

The first models were the Tomos BT50 (without S) from 1986 until the beginning of 1988. From 1988 onwards, with the S designation. The Tomos BT50s have a visible difference in the front forks, brake disc, added trunk, indicators and several color combinations besides gray (red and blue). In 1992, TOMOS made the transition from ID plates with serial numbers to ID stickers without serial numbers, which also applied to the motorcycle BT50s.
