It’s time to settle the score! Following the massive response to the Fizzy vs SS50 showdown, **3Phils** is back to answer the question many of you asked: How does the legendary Yamaha FS1-E stack up against the Suzuki AP50?
In this 'battle of the strokers', we’re crunching the numbers across eight rounds of moped mayhem - from horsepower and top speeds to production years and current auction prices. Is the Fizzy still the king of the bike sheds, or does the AP50 pull an upset?
In this video:
* **The Stats:** A side-by-side comparison of the FS1-E and AP50.
* **The Rarity:** How many of these 'buzz bombs' are actually left on UK roads?
* **The Market:** We look at recent auction results (including a staggering £8k+ Yamaha!) to see which is the better investment.
* **The Verdict:** The final 3Phils 'statistical' (and slightly chaotic) scoring.
Which one would you have chosen back in the 70s? Are you Team Yamaha or Team Suzuki? Let us know your memories in the comments below!
