Had one that very same colour when I was 16, 40 years ago. You can tune them, there is a smaller diameter pipe that runs internally the full length of the down pipe into the welded on silencer, that needs to be removed. Although looking at the exhaust on yours it's not an original CB50J exhaust, so it may even be an unrestricted CB50 exhaust as were sold everywhere outside the UK. A CB100 carb can also be fitted. And then go up two teeth on the gearbox sprocket. You can also fit an XR75 or 80 top end, as these engines were basically a sleeved down version of those. I did those mods to mine (apart from fitting an XR top end) & it still wasn't quite as fast as my mate's AP50s or Fizzies but I had fun trying lol. It would regularly go off the 45 mph speedo on the flat though.

I think the UK models were also restricted with the timing. I believe the timing stops advancing after 6000 rpm ... correct me if I'm wrong. Great bikes!

My second bike and the bike that made me fall in love with biking, and changed my life forever. Only 45 years ago. 😄
