Yamaha FS1e / Suzuki AP50
 Hi,I've got a real itch to re-live my glory days of 16 again and get myself a Fizzy or AP50. I've been looking on e-bay but would also consider buying direct from a restorer. I live in Southampton. Does anyone know of anyone who restores and sell these within a reasonable distance? Anyone got one for sale? Cheers! |

I hope you've got plenty of money spare - there's a lot of old blokes like you who have the same itch - these sort of bikes are changing hands for surprising figures nowadays.

I bought my KH250 brand new in 1976 for 610 pounds. What would a Fizzie have been, about 300?

Keep an eye out on eBay, but be prepared to dig deep. Good examples are commanding well into 4 figures.

There is a FS1E advertised locally to me for £450 - think it had an MOT too... PM me if you want to know more...

Easy.
Fit the barrel, carb and pipe from an earlier one.

Thanks for this - excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by the barrel? I'm being thick I know but am not sure. Buying a restricted model seems to be a much cheaper option.
PS Less of the 'old man' please! regards
