Useless stuff…….
The Suzi SMX 50 Super Moto was launched in 1999 and was a road going (Supermoto) version of the popular Suzuki RMX 50 off road bike.
The SMX50 Supermoto was never an official bike in the UK. It was manufactured by Suzuki Spain (Suzuki Motor Espana) for the Spanish market. A few grey imports have made it into the UK over the years………
Buying advice: As with all 2 strokers, make sure the previous owner has used a Good Quality 2 Stroke Oil as high revving Suzuki engines DON’T like being run on no name/low spec oils.
Also check the front upside down fork stanchions for signs of rust and/or pitting as these could be expensive to replace (and, due to the nature of USD forks, they can suffer from rust and pitting!).
