Post Sale Update: This OR50 sold for $1,075 after 22 bids on eBay.
“Whopper of a chopper.” That what Suzuki’s tongue-in-cheek branding for the OR50 (called the Mame-Tan in Japan). It’s a rare mini chopper with a two-stroke, 49cc engine that put down 5.5 horsepower.
For more information, check out Suzuki Cycles.org – my main takeaway is that the bike weighs just 148 pounds. Suzuki said this “mini-chopper is maximum roadster” with the back rest, high-rise handlebars, and even optional flame decals.
This example is said to be in excellent condition despite a dent in the top of the gas tank, a small separation of the stitching of the seat, pitting on the chrome, and some issues with the headlight and turn signals. So maybe the seller and I have different definitions of “excellent”, but most of those are easy fixes and this is a cute rare find. Plus it comes with some extras – owner’s manual, shop manual, warranty paperwork, Assembly/Pre-Delivery Service Guide, tool kit, and an advertisement from 1979.
