My first bike was an R plate AP50 which my father and I put back together after the previous owner adjusted the front end with a car. It would out drag the local FSIE's of the time and that's with me being a rather porky 16yr old!

Highest speedo reading on my modded AP50 (changed gearing, ported, jetted, air filter, skimmed head, modded exhaust) was 69mph down a friggin' great long dual carriageway hill, flat on the tank, slip streaming a van. Nipped up as the van driver went for the magic 70 and had to whip the clutch in and coast off the conveniently placed slip road before restarting it and riding home a very rattly 'ped. Yet another top end rebuild!
On a level road with little wind, top speed (according to the speedo) was 57/58 on a good day - obviously this was with your chin on the speedo and feet on the pillion pegs but then that's how they were ridden practically everywhere ; )
You make start on yours then... https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-...p50/1140735714
That appears to be £800 for a rear light, handlebars and front mudguard!
A quick gander on fleabay, motorcycle parts "AP50" suggests you'll spend almost that again on parts + whatever paint costs.
Probably a lot less grief and not much more £££ to buy one already done
Or this fresh off the boat from Japan, costs less and needs less work http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Col...gAAOSwPcVVk9Ds
