I stole this from another forum!


I did look this thing up,and top speed was 170km/h








The amazing Suzuki RP 68 50cc Grand Prix Triple

Rotary Valve two-stroke with 3-cylinders in a V configuration (2 horizontal...1 vertical)..each yielding 16.6 cc (that's 1 cubic inch) of raw stump pulling torque Old Grand Prix Bike Cool_shades

Actually, all 3 couldn't pull the cap off your head....but at 20,000 rpm it made 19 BHP Old Grand Prix Bike Eek7

And it had a power band narrow and sharp enough to cut diamonds

So how to keep it on the boil? How about a 14 speed gearbox Old Grand Prix Bike Deal

Specs?

Bore = "Not much"

Racing record....nada. Never raced in anger as the FIM changed the rules that year to limit 50cc bikes to one cylinder and six gears.
