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

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.
