Thanks mpro09! That helps a lot!
I only found the faq's regarding the forum - not the bikes!
Normaly i'm into kawasaki triples.
But want a cool moped for special short trips on weekend and this is exactky what i want.
Yes eric. It's the one on ebay.
Think now a dutchman will take it home.
Have not much cash at the moment.

hello again.i
Seems that i'm locked in.
Tryed it several times last month's, but had no luck. Meanwhile i buyed a rd50mx h12 with 4,6kw and only 7100km. It was not on the road since 1988.
A typical bike which was. Used for two years and than with 18 the owner buyed a car and behold the bike to reuse it NEVER!
Tank was half full and full of rust. Even the fuel line intake to tthe float valve was full of rust. I cleaned the carb and started the bike with a kh125 tank.
Started first kick and after running warm for around 2minutes it reved like a new bike and idled perfect.
All i nneed now is a new gas tank

Thank's for your answers mpro. I'm still hoping to get a fizzie but until that happens i will keep this rd50mx. All i need is a new gas tank. Does anyone know whete to get one?.
Tegarding the pictures of triples i'll try to sen some

first time I bump into this thread! sorry for that!
mine indeed came from austria, and had the 40Km's limit, with five gears

fast and slow pieces are interchangeable on a fizzy (luckily!)

RD's all have five gears and are less rare to find. Making'em fast is more easy too..

good luck on your moped search!

thank's for your answer yamasam.
i now found a company in my hometown which does fuel tank restos. hope to get back the tank in two weeks and then i can give feedback how she runs. my first moped was a puch m50 racing. then i did make the driving licence and buyed a zündapp ks50 watercooled with drum brake. my last kleinkraftrad was a italian cabbiano with a minarelli engine. 15 years ago no one in austria wanted kkr's with a topspeed over 40km/h. now the times have changed and prices are getting high.
i'm still looking for a fs1 and a early rd50dx. but they are rare and expensive now.

Hi Austria man,
I also own a austrian 72 5 speed street FS1,
The only difference is that the power / light switch has an extra position
Normally it is; off->on - > light
Austria
; off-> on->light - >small light bulb

I live in delft NL

I have a matching numbers 5 speed fizzy as well in the UK , the plate on the frame said 1975 - it is all in bits , its perhaps either a 1975 Austrian or German bike I am at this point not totally sure, perhaps someone can confirm which it is for me based on the frame number, its an unrestricted reed valve engine with a 47400 alloy barrel which I am told is good for around 85 - 90 kmh

The frame number is there except last two numbers withheld - FS1-6602**

What do you think ?
Which country do you think originally sold it from new ?
I am building it as a special as it wasnt a complete bike it was mainly the frame, engine and fuel tank - it will have a nice disc brake front end fitted not drum, when its done I will post some pics when I build it.

Hi Nat,

according to the framenumber list on this forum, it is a FS50 model from 1975 sold in the USA! I am really curious to see the pics, even how it is now,..

Sorry for the list never seen it before but most of it is not complete

Also never see a FS50 or any part from this bike for sale in the USA Nate have just a Austrain FS50 also not a german one as they have long swingarms .....
