 I prefer the Z900 RS Cafe style personally. All new Kawasaki Z900RS with Doremi's 80's-inspired kit upgrade it now.

 I was so amazed when my parents agreed to me buying a 50cc, I hurriedly signed up for a Suzuki GT50. £295 for a one year old 900 mile one in red. I absolutely loved it, but soon saw the error of my way when I had a go on an unrestricted AP50. It was a tuned example, the work being done by a schoolboy who was a genuine two-stroke tuning expert. It absolutely flew and would do 55-60mph all day long. My GT50 would only do 35mph tops. The porting, air box, carb size and gearbox sprocket were the things holding it back. The later X1 models even did away with the red valve block, relying on the tiny supplementary inlet ports controlled by the piston skirt. Easiest derestriction was the air box. This having half of the rubber intake air silencer blocked off. Simply removing this allowed it to rev out beyond 6,500 rpm as standard. A 14 tooth gearbox sprocket and AP50 carb main jet meant it would now do 42mph on the flat. I then opened the ports to the a little more than the Dutch model TS50 specs and with a 19mm A100 carb and it would now do 48mph. Annoyingly Malossi brought out a big bore cylinder/head and carb conversion. At 75cc a GT50 would now do 65mph. I took the easy option and bought a cheap A100. With 9.5bhp, just under 70mph. I've just bought another A100 from 1969, chrome tank, tuned to the factory spec, it apparently now has 16bhp and will do a GPS checked 78mph. The A100 is so similar to the AP50, most parts are identical. They are around 40% of the price of a Japanese sports moped and will walk all over any Fizzy, tuned or not. In fact, most people will be happier with the YB100 or A100 than a 50cc. When you were sixteen, you may have weighed five stone less, so 45mph is about all you will see. Also, £7k is silly money to pay when the near identical 100cc bikes go for £4k less. A really well written article btw. Thanks. Suzuki AP50 Road Test

 I fitted the K1 bodywork to my 16 valve KRS but retained the KRS seat and panniers. I had front and rear suspension modified by UK specialists Maxton and the end result was a bike that suited my aspirations for speed and comfort well and I did many miles on it touring Europe. BMW's K1 Was The Future of Motorcycles Nobody Wanted!
