Suzuki FZ50

The Suzuki FZ50 was a step-through commuter moped made by Suzuki, known as the Suzy in the UK and as the Youdy and the Rascal in other markets, and also advertised as the FS50. A Motor Cycle News road tester in 1979 called it the most attractive moped he had seen, praising its sporty alloy spoked wheels but finding its legshields small and ineffective. It had a 49 cc two-stroke pivoted engine integral with the transmission, a two-speed automatic transmission with two centrifugal clutches, Suzuki's CCI oil-injection lubrication with separate fuel and oil tanks under the seat, and a single-sided swinging arm enclosing the chain drive. It was restricted to 30 miles per hour to meet moped regulations, and it was a noped, a moped without pedals, started by a kick-start.
