Review
The 2012 AJS 50 Motard shares similar characteristics to its 2015 counterpart, focusing on providing an accessible and manageable riding experience for beginners or urban commuters. Its 49.3cc engine delivers 4.7 horsepower, limiting its top speed to 45 km/h (28 mph), making it primarily suited for navigating city streets. Weighing in at 105 kg (231.5 pounds), it's easy to handle and maneuver, especially in tight spaces. The seat height is 820mm. One notable difference is the 2012 model features a 6-speed gearbox compared to the 5-speed found on the 2015. This could offer a slightly improved spread of ratios for the engine's output, potentially enhancing its usability in various riding conditions. The fuel tank capacity remains at 8.5 liters, providing a reasonable range for daily commutes or short recreational trips. Like the 2015, it uses a telescopic fork for front suspension. However, the 2012 model differs with a single front disc brake. Overall, the 2012 AJS 50 Motard is a practical and user-friendly option for those seeking a small-displacement motorcycle for urban environments or as a stepping stone into the world of motorcycling. Its lightweight design and ease of use make it a sensible choice for navigating congested city streets.
