Suzuki AS50 Maverick - Front

Suzuki said this bike was capable of 59 miles per hour thanks to 4.9 horsepower (at that point, why not just call it 5?). It was a two-stroker with rotary valves with a 5-speed transmission – the bike weighed just 165 pounds. The next year this bike was called the AC50 – Motorcycle Classics has a great write-up on the latter.
