Suzuki 50cc Monkey Bike

Post by Pine »

I know nothing about motorcycles, but I saw this nice Suzuki 50cc two-stroke 'Monkey Bike' today that dates back to the 70s. Can anyone tell me more about them? What should be a reasonable price for one?

Isn't the Internet amazing

Seems like the RV50 is also known as a Van Van, they were built as from the early-70's.

I don't know much about bikes either, but I do know the Honda DAX 4-stroke monkey bikes are very collectable, so the same probably goes for this one.

Hi Pine,
If its for sale and you dont go for it I would be keen. If it goes and its got papers its probably worth around R5K, if not I would say around half that?

Is it called a Monkey Bike cause you look like a monkey when you ride it???

Perhaps, so in future we'll refer to

- a Beemer as an A$$hole BMW
- a Taxi as HiAce Coffin
- a Baja as a VaderBug

Hi Webster, as for now it is not for sale. It does not have papers. I have first dibs on it, but I'll let you know what happens. The owner is kinda sentimental about it. Will stay in touch.
