Super suzuki scooters of two smoke

Recommended Posts

Started off a small collection of Suzuki 50's.

 

Started off picking up a RV50 locally for very little outlay.

Then bought a TS50 for a proverbial box of of beers then fitted an A100 engine

Then chanced onto this A50 while completing a TM deal.

Now Im looking for a set of lights to get the A50 scooter legal if anyone can help out and an old TF/TS/TC 125 to rebuild the TS50 to a sizable bike.

Coolest 50cc ever?

 

Due to the lack of raw information on the ‘Net about the small motor Suzuki’s I have decided to dig up information the ‘old school’ way- by digging around a Book.

From Mick Walker’s 2006 published by Crowood Press titled ‘Suzuki Production Motorcycles 1952-1980.

 

There was also a smaller ‘50’ version with the same disc-valve induction (49.9cc, 41 x 37.8mm) which, running a compression ratio of 6.7:1, put out 4.9bhp at 8,500rpm. The A50 series also had the advantage of a five-speed instead of four-speed gearbox.
Over the years (starting with the sporty AS50 of 1968), various versions were built with the same basic engine, including the A50, the AC50 (like the AS50, with raised exhaust, abbreviated chainguard, and either exposed springs or gaited forks), the AP50 (‘P’ for pedals) and A50K (a restricted performance model.

 

Sadly the book does little more than mention the TS50 and RV50 simply exist.
