Suzuki Other description

I bought this scooter used in 2003, a good runner that always starts. Used it as a pit bike at Road America, needed a bike with a DOT plate at the track. This is a great little scooter, just don't use it any more. Please reach me if you have questions. Extra info:

The Suzuki FZ50 was a step-through commuter moped, described by a Motor Cycle News road tester in 1979 as "the most attractive moped I've seen and must take the run-about class into a new area of perfection" with "sporty alloy spoked wheels" but having small, "ineffective" legshields with footpegs, not footboards.

Produced by Suzuki, it was known by the nickname "Suzy" in UK, but in other markets as Youdy. It had a 49  cc two-stroke pivoted engine integral with the transmission, and a coil-over damper mounted to the single-sided swinging arm enclosing the chain final drive.

Restricted to 30 mph and with an automatic transmission, the engine used Suzuki's CCI oil-injection lubrication system with underseat separate fuel and oil tanks, a fuel gauge and front and rear carriers.

There were no pedals, unlike most mopeds, instead using a left-side mounted engine kick-start, normally found on larger machines, with a lock-out operated by the handlebar-mounted rear brake lever.

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa topped the time sheets at the conclusion of the second MotoGP test at the Sepang track in Malaysia. Both clocked identical times of 1:59.999 to become the only riders to dip under the two minute mark the entire test. The hot and humid conditions in Sepang meant times wouldn’t be faster than they were in the first test here only a few weeks prior, and indeed, Rossi and Pedrosa’s time is 0.466 second slower than the fastest lap Marc Marquez set at the last test.
