I have the same bike. They’re really nice looking and you definitely won’t see many of them around town. Mine tops out at around 43. It tends to foul spark plugs, but other than that it hasn’t given me any trouble. I prefer my Passport as a daily rider, but the F50 is definitely more unique.
Parts are pretty scarce, but the bike does have the same engine as the more common Suzuki Trailhopper, so that helps. I had to replace the petcock when I bought it, called a Suzuki dealer and of course they acted like I was crazy for even asking. But I tried putting in an online order anyway, and lo and behold, a brand new OEM Suzuki petcock showed up in the mail a week later. I was amazed. Parts also show up on Ebay now and then.
