Steer Clear.
ONE OF THE WORST 'bikes' ive EVER owned.
its a heap of junk, the electrics are prone to going wrong
the carb gets clogged way too easily and its an all round
Piece of Crud.
DO NOT BUY. its also liquid cooled which is even worse
the battery dies too easily and the kick start is prone to slipping.
Poop bike From an other wise good Make
Suzuki - Stick to your GSXRs.

Best Scooter On Market!
I brought my suzuki ay50 for £340 and it's never let me down once ( apart from faulty spark plug costs £3 to fix ) it looks great and is very fun to ride. My mates have scooters and not one is nearly as fast off the mark, it can beat cars off the line at traffic light etc. the only problem I have ever had is when it's cold it would take a while on the starter motor to start ( 30+ seconds ) but I found out the auto choke was not connected proberly and now starts fine every time. I highly recommend this scooter to any one!
I have one of these, i bought it for £74 with a brand new TT hand made exhaust, very reliable

Great Bike Easy To Use And Very Reliable
i got this bike for E250 , when i got it it needed a new battery and indicators, also the body was damaged bad enough. but once i fixed up those things and i gave i a new custom paint job ,it was ruining nicely.
it does about 65km/h max speed on a straight road with barley any wind.
but here is a good tip. you sould all ways store your motor bike / scooter inside a shed or if you dont have one use a rain cover because if you dont you will have to change the seals on the gasket every few mounts depending on how much rain falls. it might not affect your bike but as im living up high there's lots of rain and plenty wind.
good bike but if your buying privet be prepared that it will give you some problems to start.

Worst Investment Ever!!!!
this is one of the poorest bikes ive owned it is the katana r with blue and white special colour, if you see one without a belly poan its most likley been theft as you can start these with a simple spark, the chrome tecnigas exhast is terrible with this engine, it cause my pistons to break my bike was fine to 9000mile i bought it for 600 pound and its terriblle, the holes by the feet leak water its on a 2005 plate so not to old but yoiu would think its from the 80's the styling is dihar. the storage is pathetic, its the worst bike around which is why you never see thwem on the road, dont purchase one there horrible
agree whit you there mate i have one i bought it for 120 euro a 1999 model air cooled it gave me a little bit of bother as the gasket was worn away i replaced it also the piston rings were a bit scrubby changed them now it goes like a beast with top speeds of 80 to 90 km/h as i adjusted the carburator
I think you are wrong sorry but i have one and i absolutely love it, best bike ever
Hi mate is your bike water cooled?

Worst Investment Ive Ever Made!!!!!
i bought this bike for £600 it has 9000miles on the clock, it must be the worst bike ive purchased for a 50cc its slow it used to run at 50mph for around 2 weeks after putting my chrome technigas exhuast now it barley does 35mph it has ruined my engine it was perfect till 9000miles where the PLASTIC CARB started leaking petrol, tyhe bottom pannel is missing and i was recently told if this missing it may be stolen and recoverd they say its easily hot wired where this pannel should be. it so slow and they break to easy, it unreliable which is why none are ever seen on the road mine is the limited condition katona r, i hate it the exhuast has resulting into blowing my pistons, the engine is scrap. id advise no one to buy this bike its a let down its on a 2005 plate so you would think it would be okay, i was wrong it terrible, after moving from abroad i needed a bike i bpught this as its suzuki, i cant wait to sell it.

Need More Speed
i just got my suzuki AY 50 WK3 (2003) and im topping out at 30-35!
something is seriously wrong here... and tips on how to improve the speed without spending money??
regards, the scooter noob.
hi where can I get a gianelli pipe from as I have been on there site and it say they do not have any for this bike?
The katana has low gearing so will only get about 50 at max anyway, if your still getting 35 you need to upjet your carb 10% if you have a sports exhaust like a gianelli like mine, the only other restrictor is in the air box ive been told and you can buy and sports filter for around 15 quid which youll then need to upjet again to around a 96ish to match the air, also lighter rollers may make a difference in the acceleration speed
well if you pull the throttle more it will go faster
if it has a standard exhaust then that will have the restrictor in it as i have this bike and i have got a aftermarket straight through race pipe on it and it does around 45 - 50 mph i have been told to take the restrictor out of the air filter but as the bike is on high revs as it is and is screaming the knackers off of it and top end so i would just recommend getting a new exhaust..
Sounds like the restricter is still on your bike! You need to see a Suzuki dealer to see if it's has been removed at the CID unit!

Really Good Bike
I brought my suzuki ay50 cheap and it has a viper exhaust system on it and not too sure if its got any other modifictaions but it has good acceleration and good top speed (48mph on flat road) for a 50cc moped that is really good. i would recomend you buy one as they are cheap and good fun to ride :) the only bad thing is the plastics are hard to get hold of new but thats the same for all mopeds. people have put really bad reviews about them but they are a quality bike for starting on and for a 16 year old.
