1969 Suzuki AS50

In Japan, Small Displacement by AbhiLeave a Comment

In Suzuki’s marketing copy for this bike, they said ‘It looks [like] a GP racer because it was designed that way.’ You can be the judge of that, but it was capable of 60 miles per hour while returning 114 miles per gallon thanks to the 5 horsepower 49cc rotary valve two stroke engine.

Also known as the Colt, this little Suzuki had a 1.4 gallon fuel tank, Posi-Force automatic lubrication, and a 5-speed transmission. This example (VIN: A59777) has 989 miles and is claimed to be completely original and to run perfect. It’s been stored in display, started every two years and then had the gas drained out of the tank and carb. The seller notes that the only flaw is a tear in the right rear corner of the seat.
