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.
