The Suzuki PV 50 is a minibike that was produced from 1979 to 2000 in Japan, with importation to Finland and some sold in Sweden. It is equipped with an air-cooled 50cc 2-stroke engine, drum brakes, kick start, and a 4-speed manual transmission. This bike is known for its tuning capabilities, such as cylinder enlargement and porting. The stock specs vary by model year, with the earlier models (1979–1993) featuring a reedless cylinder and Mikuni VM12SH carburetor, and later models (1993–2000) featuring a reed valve cylinder and Mikuni VM14SH carburetor.
The Honda Monkey and Suzuki PV 50 were the most iconic rival mopeds among Finnish youth from the 1970s to the 2000s, giving rise to their own unique subculture. The Suzuki PV 50 is featured in the game My Summer Car as the "Jonnez ES" (a reference to the Internet meme), which is set in Finland. The Suzuki PV 50 has a considerable tuning culture in Finland, with some 80cc kits pushing 100 kilometers per hour.
