    not much. old, dated, wobbly, points/magneto ignition, odd size wheels, terrible suspension, the list goes on.

    ask GiJoe
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    Depends on the year and model - a nice A50 Maverick is worth something, a street version less - a late one, not much.

    OK. They were $399 brand new in 1973. So with depreciation over 36 years it would now be worth $0.21. However add on a new set of tyres, a tank full of fuel, and current registration and it should fetch somewhere around $399.

    If you were closer I would be interested.

    I just want the front mudguard from a Maverick (or AC100/early TS100) as pictured for my T125 Stinger as fitted in some markets. Old Suzukis are so much cooler than new ones. However we bought & sold A50s around the $100 mark in the 80s
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    My AC50

    I just bought my first bike, an AC50 Maverick, cosmetically it is in great shape, but I probably shouldn't ride it as much as I do.
    Anyhoo, my asking price was $500. He was fixin' to sell it for $650. if you still got the little bike... I could certainly use it, although might be a bit of a haul, wouldn't it?
    (I have a 70-72 Maverick, pop green)
