Suzuki Love 3 (CX50D) 1984—

I have tried to tell the model history of the Suzuki Love 50cc scooter on this page as I know it. This page is still under construction. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

1982 Suzuki year code: Z

The 50cc 4-stroe scooter Suzuki Love, with model code CL50, was presented for the Japanese home market in 1982. The following year it was introduced to Europe. The CL50 was aimed specifically at the female market, it was smaller than usual and fully automatic. In some countries (like Finland) the Love scooter was sold with a 2-stroke engine, mainly because of regulations of maximum power output. See even the Suzuki Love magazine article page. Type code: FA11A Recommended spark plug: NGK BP4HA Colors available: Red
