The Suzuki PV 50 is a moped equipped with an air cooled 50cc 2-stroke engine, drum brakes, kick start and a 4-speed manual transmission. It was only produced from 1979 to 2000 in Japan and the only country it was imported in is Finland, which makes this vehicle very rare. Some have also been sold in Sweden. The stock specs vary by the model year, (1979-1993: 50cc reedless cylinder with a Mikuni VM12SH carburetor, 1993-2000: 50cc reed valve cylinder with a Mikuni VM14SH carburator). This motorcycle (know in Finland as a Tossumopo) is known for its tuning capabilities, such as cylinder enlargement and porting.
