That would be right, my bikes not on the list, really wanted the manuals and service book, there the only things I can’t find.
I’ve owned a Suzuki MT50 Trail Hopper since 1973 from new and rode it to work. Our children, all 6 of them, used it for fun, riding around our property in Wanneroo for years. After they all grew out of that, it was wrapped up and stored in my shed. The bike did more K’s during those years, than I put on it during the time when I rode it to work. In this last year I uncovered it and started to restore it, the paint and plastic covers are in real good condition for their age, so I decided to keep it original. Found all the indicators and lights I took off, or the kids knocked off and put them all back on. It’s at a bike shop getting the carburettor rebuilt at the moment, can still get some parts out of Japan. Even found a place in Canada who had all the original reproduction decals. When it’s complete I’m going to get it licensed and ride it again. |

I couldn't find a manual either (are there similar models?), but here's a brochure for the MT50:

It is a great little bike and yes a lot of fun. Unlike the scooters of today the MT 50 rides just like a real motor bike, the centre of gravity is the same and you can really lean into the corners, it has 3 gears with auto clutch. All but one of the MT 50's in the brochures you found, are the American imports. They had the 3 large black spot decals on the tank cover.
This one is simular to the Australian import and a spitting image of mine. They didn't have the 3 spots on each side and was sold licensed for the road. I even took my full bike license on it, which was a laugh. During the road test the cop rode his police bike about 100 metres behind me, I felt like he was embarrassed to be seen with such a small bike. Thanks for trying to help find the manual and service book for me. |
